Need Rims Suggestions
 
Ok well I am buying a 2004 Titanium Grey rx-8, I need some suggestions on different kind of rims, in designs and color, for my new car. I dont really have a clue, suggestions would be great thanks.

Get really big heavy 20" Bling Bling rims.... :)


Just kidding. There are a number of folks here with different aftermarket rims. I've got some ADR cypher bronze wheels. SSR and Gram Lights are also great rims, though a little expensive. 17" rims will give you a better ratio for accelleration. The stock rim weighs about 22 lbs (correct me someone if I'm wrong) in case that might go into your decision to getting other rims. Gunmetel or bronze wheels look great on the Ti Grey cars, IMHO.

One decide what you want--looks vs performance. The choices are many. Then decide on price range--the choices are many. I really like my rpf 1 enkeis but to some I am sure it is not their style. Good luck and enjoy shoping.

Can you buy just rims or do they make you buy the whole wheel?

olddragger 02-21-2006 09:45 AM

20's will ruin the way your car rides man. Dont do it--most people go with the 18's--you can go up to a 35 offset --8.5 wide at least--some have gone to 9.

OD, I think we are dealing with looks... The enkei rpm2's are a nice combination of looks and performance. The hyper black would look good. If you want 20's, don't wast your money on a car built for performance, get an Escalade.

You want the DPK's. The gunmetal color matches the Ti almost exactly. And they're not costly. They didn't weigh much either.

I paid $700 including shipping for the set. They're 19"

JMoNeY 02-27-2006 09:46 PM

http://www.wheelmax.com/_images/products/zeus.gif these are 18s http://www.wheelmax.com/_images/products/hirogm.jpg 18s also
