WHAT? Someone else in Utah that mods their 8. I have only seen 1 other 8 with aftermarket wheels.
That size will fit on the wheel, it will be a stretch for sure. I would go with a 255 or 265 but I like meaty fitment.
Not the right thread though, best place would be the 'Will it fit?' thread.

BTW!!! Derek, your pic is sick and it reminded me...

When the time comes, I will help out with RX8club homie hookup. I always want to see more RX8's on dope wheels, helps me live vicariously. Already have a bunch in stock, just waiting to launch the marketplace

LOL, maybe there is a good market in NZ for them!

The key is offering a wide variety of multi-piece JDM wheels, in stock in the US & built to spec. There are a couple options out there, but WheelFlip is working on creating a something special. So far already in stock WF's got everything from Weds Kranze Cerberus, Bazreias, & Vishunus to SSR Agle Strusse, Minerva, & Vienna Courage. It will be cool to see the store go live in the coming weeks. Anyone looking for some 3-Piece JDM wheels, keep an eye out!

It's because they are on the vans when they are shipped here from Japan. We are basically Japan's dumping ground of used cars ( I own a JDM RX8 myself )

Pretty keen to check out your website, although I won't be able to buy anything since shipping costs would be horrendous

Thanks guys! It's actually not my site but the project is rather a collaboration of sort's with a close friend of mine. Once things get going feel free to hit me up with questions about anything in the marketplace
