Another Black 8 w/ New Rims
3 Attachment(s)
This is the 3rd or fourth post I've seen where a black 8 gets new wheels this week....well here's mine. It took forever to find a set of wheels I liked. I am really happy w/ the look and they feel great on the car.
HP EVO 18's in silver....8's in front, 9's in back.....BF G-force KDW2 rubber... TXRX has a similar setup on his titanium grey...I liked the look of his so much, I went out and picked up a set....so thanks, TXRX ***edit*** offset is 38mm..there is clearance and they stick out just enough...pics taken in front of new development for rich people. I wanted to drive onto that grass, but thought that would be too much. :p |
Looks good,I love that fat lip on the wheels. Whats the offset?
|
Looks sweet. Where were them pics taken at?
|
Love the look. I have always liked mesh rims. I am trying to decide between the evos and the Konig Imagine's.
Thanks for the pics. |
too much going on for me
|
Nice!
|
English, look's good on the black and I remember seeing them on the gray too. That's a nice looking rim.
|
they flow well with the strakes and front grill :cool:
|
nice choice there
|
love the lip
|
Looks good! Is the car lowered at all?
|
Thanks guys...I took a ride a while a go...and it is pretty sweet. I kept on turning around to look at it (like always, but a bit more) when I was walking away....

Fuck Yeah! :D Good job dude. They look better on your car man! I'm envious. :p
|
Looks good man, I just asked someone to photochop those onto a black 8 the other night, I guess that won't be neccesary now.
|
Speaking of chopping, can anyone put those onto a blue 8.....PLEASE!
|
I like the stockers better, but I'm not a fan or mesh wheels nor lighter colored wheels on a black car. Glad you found something you like though :D
|
Love the look. Third pic looks hot.
A couple tint questions if you don't mind. What % tint all-around and how long is the tint on the windshield(And what's the limit for FL)? Haven't been here too long and am about to get mine tinted soon. TIA |
IMO, those would look good on any color. Looks really great with the drop...classy. I'm actually thinking (still) about 5Zigen Heidfelds.
|
looks sharp, very clean
|
very nice rims ... good job !
|
How much did you pay for those?
|
Very nice man!!! Wish I had a deeper lip on mine.
|
Tint is just a shade darker than legal in FL. Front band is also a bit longer than legal in FL. I have had much darker tint on other cars, but have had no probs (yet). Tint is necessary in Florida, so get it as dark as you can. Pay cash, no receipt, and get it dark.
Wheelguyz.com sold me the set of wheels. They were fast & friendly and knew their sh*t. Tire Rack guys helped out with the tires. I don't notice the noise others have complained about. I love the big fat lip too! |
Why is everybody copying meeeeeeeee

i love these rims... but the only thing holding me back from these is the weight difference. How much heavier are they compared to stock?? I want the same offset and size rims you have! I love it!
So please give me some ideas on weight... |
Mine weighed in at 22lb's without tires I think.
|
Weight was not a concern for me with these rims. But...total FEDEX weight on PKG with both 9's was estimated @ just over 50 lbs. I will use the stockers with the stock rubber for 1-2 more track days, then switch over to a better rubber for that use. I transferred TPMS to the new ones, and will just use them for cruising. I will put up with the TPMS flashing for track days, but can't see why I should purchase ugly, lightweight wheels for the track, then use the burned out stock rubber for driving....does that make sense?
***edit*** I think the only thing I'm losing is a pair of large tires that I won't want to transfer to the stock wheels when they are 'done'...but since I won't drive like a maniac with those, they should last longer. :rolleyes: |
These rims are so nice I had to come back for a second look. I likes.
