White wheels always look great on a red car. Nice to finally see an rx8 with a roof rack. I've been wanting one for a while for when i go hit the trails on my bike, just never knew how it would look.

I could also see those things getting stolen fairly quick unless you took them in and out each time you used them.

You can bolt and mortar them to the curb to "permanently" attach them

Haha, I was sort of kidding around

In all seriousness though, try this - angle so that when your front driver's side wheel is just touching the driveway. Now, draw an imaginary line from the front passenger wheel and rear driver's side wheel. This line would ideally be parallel with the curb/driveway 'line'. This angle should minimize scrapage both from the lip/bumper to the incline, as well as undercarriage scraping due to a sharp angle on top of the driveway.


Here is a high tech diagram I drew up to detail ideal precision angling:

Yes, you need to drive against traffic. Yes, you must try to block and/or hit oncoming pedestrians.
