It looks like the Varrstoen's only come in a 18x8.5 in a 2.2.1 for the color white

Looks good man! I am generally not a fan of XXR's but I love this model. Specs? I will have my camera Saturday, BTW.

Anyone else have opinions on wheel specs of rota grids or varrstoens? I'd like something around 18x9 +12 all around with no fender work! Don't know if I'd be dropping it yet but sometime in the future

I believe these are VOLK TE's not the counterfeit Varr... whatever. Specially, in Japan! Nice roof rack BTW, I wonder what clip he modified for use since thule don't make any for RX-8s.

Those wheels are gram lights which are made by the same company Mackin industries/RAYS wheels.

Roof racks look so classless, go get a Volkswagen if you wanna do stupid crap like that.

Guys guys... I'm just talking about the car and the rims. I like the look of the red on white. I could care less about the roof rack, that pic is just to show the fitment I'd like to have

The white on red looks killer. Just don't care for the ridiculous roof ornament.

Here are some different fitment shots on my car if you want to get an idea of how different setups will fit the 8 platform -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/inghostcolours/sets/

Red R3 would be a friend of a friend from Japan.

And for those wondering the white wheels on the Red SII, they're Gram Lights 57D's.

Yeesh, what has this thread turned into lately?

Sorry if any reposts below, no care.
