I have seen a lot of beat up stanced RX-8's lately. Get your **** right, then worry about getting rims. Putting coilovers and nice rims on a beat up RX-8 is like putting lip stick on a pig.

Oh I was just talking about a lot of RX-8's posted up recently here and on other sites. Prioxide's car is the only one that has really impressed me as of late. It as actually made me start saving to get some legit wheel again. It's crazy how legit a stock bodies 8 can look when done right.

not that I think an rx8 is on bmw level, but new owners seem to be going the honda civic route with their 8s.... Im waiting for the day I see one driving by with 4 different colors and an apc spoiler.

I really don't understand why people do zip ties like that. My lip and side markers are zip tied on too but all in the back where no one can even tell. Zip ties are a quick fix not a fashion statement lol.

the rear rims are different. not matching set, the ones that should be on dont fit. the ones fitted are 18x9.5+18 and just touch. my other rims are 18x10+5 lol.
