Everything is great, Borla exhaust is my favorite exhaust, I'm just not a big fan of the wheels.

hmm...everything is great except for the wheels. not as bad as some others I shall not mention. for some reason the silver kind of hides the hideousness of the wheels. (hides, hideousness hehehe)

I think it looks great.

Everyone has their own opinions.
But at least this car will not end up in the "what not to do to your car" thread.

thans guys... everyone has thier own opinions.. i personally love my rims.. i havent really seen them on any car before and i think it matches the paint. but what ever.. the aero package parts cost be $275 for the parts and painting $250 and install was $200 to a total of $725.. its a little more than i wanted to spend on it but it was worth it..

I think the rims are great.

They are a bit too flashy for my taste.....but in terms of rims that make a statement, they do that well.

How did you find an appearance package for so cheap?

And is your car titanium gray or galaxy gray?

my car is the 2004 so it is the titanium gray.. i am part of a rx8 club locallly and a guy took his off and put a body kit on. so i got his side sills and rear flares for 125 and a nice guy in madison wisconsin sold me his front lip for 150... just look around and you will find it.. yeah a lot of people dont like my rims but i got a good deal on them and i personally like them.. and anything is better than those 16" rims

I kinda like the rims. I have the same rims in 17x7 for my winter rims. They were the best looking of my choices/price range. However I found that once they were on they looked better than I had expected.

Not sure why there's so much hate on the rims. I think they look really sick. They match the titanium really nicely (which may be my favorite color on this car) and I like the look of the 5 spoke. They also extend all the way to the lip, so the wheels look bigger than they are. Really nice look! I know it may not be for everyone, but they are really tight.

Where did you get them from?
