nice

 

yepp stance nation finally recognizing whats up

 

Heh, I think it's moreso that that these great pics just came out. I think Mike's car might have been posted there, as well as mine a couple of times but hell, even I'm tired of looking at my car. When properly fitted rx8s get decent pictures, they usually end up on a blog here or there

 

dude tilt s:n is so wet for your car

 

Thats such a sickkk ride !!!!

 

Nice Ride. Where are all the low cost wheel haters at now? If it looks good, it looks good. I think I have seen that car before, love the bronze battles.

 

yeah ive seen yours and mikes posted a few times next is rev with the new wheels

 

I think the car was posted here before.

Well, I'd personally prefer to see some higher quality parts on this car but this is a start. At ~$180/wheel the MB Battles are very popular elsewhere but aren't seen as much on 8club. If they were around more, it may be easier to appreciate the true Advan T7 when seen.

I don't think people hate on the cost of wheels, I think people hate on the fact that some wheels are copies of others.

All in all, the pictures are gorgeous and the stance/fitment is on point; almost makes me want to go the stretched tire/slammed route again

 

Wow nice car Sean, whoever you are.

 

Well put tiltmode43.

 

anyone got his tire specs?

 

Yeah you may be right but i do see people hate on brands as a whole whether they are knock offs or not.

 

i think the stancenation piece said he was running 225s in front and 245s in back

 

imo things have changed according to trends. It's no longer all about what brand you bought - but also how they fit. A while back people would care less how they fit (sunk n' tucked) but if you had GT-V's, GT-F's or TE's you automatically got props. Now - it's slowly turning into more of a 50/50. Cool, you got TE37's but they're really tucked...which in some cases - a good number of people will say "eh, it's ok" - and on the flip side, someone will rock xxr's w/a nasty offset n' have a shot at landing on the cover of a magazine.

 

Werd... I agree

 

Exactly. Well put.

 

my buddys rx8.. xxr, 18x9.5 +22. no spacers yet.. but soon.

i forgot to post these a couple days ago.. but this is the one we rolled and pulled fenders on.

 

Nice he finally mounted his wheels

 

nice ride sean never would have thought that 18x9.5+ 15 on 225 f and 245 r would look so good thinking......

 

I'm lookin to get a little more aggressive reeeeal soon. Like, 18x10.5 +15 all the way around aggressive. As soon as I sell my Rota's I can get the ball rollin, so if anybody knows somebody looking for a good deal in some wheels/tires send em my way!

 

Hi guys, i just bought a R3 RX8 few weeks ago, n looking to get a set of wheels, n the set that i have in mind is 20x9 +25 f, 20x10 +20 rear. is it would fit? do i need a camber kit for this set up? sorry for the newbe question. cheers

 

^

i would get a camber kit..
and they might fit.. you would just have to do alot more work then you would to a 18"

 

I don't know how much I'm a fan of the stickers and whatnot but props for having the guts to do that to the fenders. The unfortunate part is that now it will be impossible to be completely flush without murdering a good portion of the rear bumper. That said, I do like the looks of the car from the front. Good drop with the OEM lip is always clean; the removed grill gives it an extra aggressive edge as well, IMO.

Forgot to comment on this; anyone who thinks a properly fitted set of quality wheels is lame, they don't appreciate car modification in general or have an understanding of the various styles possible. I would rather take a set of standard fit RPF1 over the most flush Rotas you could find, but that's just me. Obviously this is the type of thing where each and every individual will have a differing opinion so to each, his own

 

Yeah if all the stickers beside the philipino one were gone id give more thumbs up
