Congrats Izzy! I had plans to run these wheels back when I had the 8. Would have been awkward if we showed up to 7Stock on nearly identical wheel setups, LOL! Hope to see some more pics of your car soon.

Damn, first day back on 8club after over a month, I browse the fitment thread and immediately ventured over to the "RX-8's For Sale/Wanted" section, haha!

How's the F30 treating you?

I recently got a F30 328i (autotragic) for a loaner. Had the tech, premium, and cold weather package. Rides extremely smooth. I must say the handling and steering feel leaves much to be desired for. Even compared to the E90's. Great turbo'd 4 though.

Damn Izzy, I'm impressed. Nicely done.

Here are some pics from Wek Fest Texas. It was pretty Wek, I didn't even bother editing pics.

The F30*needs* coilovers. Stock suspension on stock 17's is like driving a boat after having the 8 on coils with sways, strut bars, and a roll bar.

That said, with minimal mods you can make 270whp 300wtq easily. Power mods for that car actually do something! Still get mixed mid-high 20's MPG too. Once I get the wheels and drop on I'll post something up here.

Dan - Haha hearing a rumor about Izzy's setup brought me around

His car is phenomenal indeed! That vented rear bumper makes it look like the car is rear-engine haha.
Seeing those 19x11 +20 weds makes me not worry so much about fitting my 18x11 +10's in the rear ha. But again, damn you California guys and your year round perfect weather

Well, not perfect weather, just nothing too extreme

Roads still aren't the greatest though, really depends on the area. I won't complain much but many highways are neglected pretty badly.

I need to see this car in person. Makes me wish I had my 8 with the new aero, full shoot of both cars together would have been epic <3

edit: Zumn, you deleted that last photo, find another way to show, would love to see more

Man How can you Have your car so Low in the Chicago street , Streets are so bad in chi-town it ain't even funny, I used to back in the days roll around fullerton up and down and sometimes go by Cabrini green not sure were by and street race , Now remember I said back in the days like 16years ago type. Now I dont support street racing. Track is the way to go. But yea Nice car man,.
