yeah. well, no. THIS isn't the black car. It at least appears to be a different car (e.g they didn't paint it). It is the same KIT, probably not the same CAR.

Hey everyone, I'm new here... I posted an introduction in the lounge, so you can read it there if anyone really cares. Anyway, that's one sexy kit. But those wheels are even sexier, I'm a big fan of turbine-style wheels. I know veilside offers some, but those look even better. Does anyone have any idea who makes em?

Those wheels Are not Veilside. It's Arthur Exchange or A/X made by Rays Engineering. it's called Griffony (For the picture is Diamond Cut Version)



Cheers

Anything is available in the US if you have enough money. Japan8 is doing a group buy somewhere. Run a search or check the group buy forums

Unforunately nothing's final. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment...

- trying to work with doctors to resolve a medical condition I have
- finishing up the previous group buy on Rmagic 1Din dash panels
- working with a RX-8 club in the US and Mazda Japan about an event
- finding I have less time as I started a new job in late june that has made my commute rather long

... and there is the new group buy. So I know it's taking awhile, but please bear with me. My efforts thus far have gotten mixed results... some useful info and some... well things are more complicated than I originally anticipated.
