ha ha two people beat me to it.

Those anodized red lugs have got to go!

 

much better than your last ones. you should have gone with 9.5's though.

 

Somebody on here tried to pull off some blue lug nuts not too long ago.
Quit giving those people big money for colored lugs!

But otherwise, it looks nice. Except for the stems. I'll stop.

 

Nice rims, but the lug nuts kill it for me! They look kind of pink..

 

Thanks all. The lugs are more for extra points on the show circuit this season. I have other mods, but even with stock wheels I took home a couple trophies in the Mazda class.

Weight of these was not a big concern for me. From my research here I believe thay are just slightly heavier than stock, but 2x stronger in durability. That is a big plus for me as I live in pot hole city.

Early morning shot.

 

I agree and I would have except that I did not want to stretch the tires that I already had purchased. Was going to put them on stock wheels before buying the Works.

 

That latest pic is definitely the best of them all. I like them a lot actually, and dig the lug nuts.. Just I prefer more of the "flush" look (I think they call it) and have the wheels out more with the center of it in more. Agressive like.

Sorta like this one...

In any case though, as you've been telling me about these for the past 45345234 years... I still think they're an awesome choice and sort of "one of a kind" look, which is awesome. So congrats man. Just wish I could see it on the 20th.

At least I'll see it at the NEPOC spring cleaning meet.

 

ooooo - any chance I could get a hi-res of the last picture (early morning) best RX-8 background ever...

 

I really like them man. Work wheels are awesome! Nice job.

 

Looks great!

Very nice...

 

thank you!

I know I'm pretty much a Newb here but I'm lookin to pick up an rx-8 after i graduate with my mechanical engineering degree in may and get a job - while I personally dont want red, your car is straight hot! (and im lookin into work wheels too!)

 

Ya aint winning no trophies if I show up hehe j/k Josh.. nice rims.. the lugs are nice dont listen to 'em lol.. be different to me atleast if they where a different color than red. Yanno both of us need Tint now.. bah

 

awesome wheels altspace!

i can't wait for mine to come in. i'm goin with the same look except for black rims.

i personally love the red lugs. keep it up!!

 

hey alt nice wheels, how much where they? thats my next thing, i got my tint done yesterday, ill post some pics this weekend when i finally get to wash it

 

Amazing pic of your car, altspace... with a dash of photoshop on the cherry bowls...

 

i like it more with the red lugs. it gives it more originality. and i think it adds a nice touch. i say keep the lugs!

 

I'm debating on tint myself. One thing I've noticed is that the red/black interior combo really catches peoples eye at the shows. Especially woman and children, they all love it. Not sure I want to "hide" it in a sense. Although I do miss having the privacy. Just a few more touch ups in the engine bay and she'll be complete.

 

 

yellow fogs make all the difference on a VR... and if I had a VR, I would leave the orange corners in like you've done...

 

Exactly, JDM all the way.....so to speak.

 

Hmmmmmm. Wheels look familiar somehow. Congrats on the wheels.

 

This is the is look I wanted. But somebody in Japan beat me to it. Except for the chrome XT-7.

 

i dont usually like bronze wheels but i am liking those a lot,
