Wish we could get a pic or photoshop of the SF Challenge in gunmetal on a Ti 8! I am set to go the the SF's in silver but would really like to see in the gunmetal -- wish I was a photoshop guru.

Nevermind the wheel and tire sizes, I found your comments. If you have the offsets that would be helpful. Do the tires rub at all.....? Is the ride very harsh.....? You must have a full time job reading all the posts you pics have brought on. The rx8 already turns heads. Your ride must stop people in their tracks!!!!!

I have to agree with the masses here.
It is AWESOME -- looks perfect!
I have been totally happy with stock rims until now.
Wonder how they'll look on my blue ?

Even with the wider tires, the turning remains about the same but with improved handling. The overall ride got slightly stiffer because of the lower profile tires, but I prefer that type of ride!

does the 19"and the drop affect your handling and low end power? i mean my friend have a set of 19X9 and 19X9.5 with JIC coilover on his Z, and he said that the car is slower in 1st and 2nd and everytime you go on those bumps, ****, it's killing you. that's why i'm afraid to the 19s, oh yea it's a TE37 with SO3s.

Because the over-all diameter (wheels/tires) of my 19's is slightly smaller than stock, if anything the low end power should increase. Although, I didn't notice much difference.
With 19's, you will have to use more caution going over bumps though...
