Could somebody be so kind as to photoshop those rims on a Titanium Grey RX-8 for me? Thanks.

 

where exactly did you buy those volks? and did they sell them to you painted? please fill me in! gorgeous, i need to know, my rx-8 is black as well and the combo is awesome, where can I go on the web to make this happen?

 

That car is the BOMBBAY!!!!! Very nice!!

 

Here's what they look like on a grey 8. Pretty good. Better on black tho. ;-)

 

txrx8, well where did they come from? fill me in, I'd love to know how much and where, please fill me in.

 

On a grey RX8, I think the gun metal ones might match better...just my $0.02

 

Thanks TxRx8 for the pic. Looks ok but I'd have to go with the gun metal like Will Pwr said.

 

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.

 

Yeah, that's just a photochop Miami, I wish I had those rims! I'll photoshop those rims in gun-metal pretty soon tho. I'l keep y'all posted.

Laters,
TxRx8

 

Those are the best looking wheels I've seen on an RX8. Would you mind telling me the wheel size, offsets, and tire sizes...Thanks

 

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 ?

 

Still interested in the offset of these wheels! Would greatly appreciate the infrmation.

 

The offsets are:
Front 19x8.5 with +34mm offset
Rear 19x9.5 with +36mm offset

 

Thanks man! Where do I order these?
Has the size and offset afected the turning and ride characteristics of the car at all?

 

are those painted or powdercoated black?

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!

 

I would say you have one of the best looking 8's. Good setup.I was going to buy a silver or tit.grey but when I saw your 8 I had to get a Black one.

 

Thanks FE3P your car is by far the best looking car I have seen so far in this forum, or anywhere else for that matter. Do you have any further plans for it?

 

Thanks for the comments!...

Eventually, i'm going to add an amp/sub, a Mazdaspeed Body Kit and possibly a turbo or supercharger...but we'll see!

 

VERY NICE!!! I dont like black rims on any car but those look awesome with the polished lip.

 

I see this car everyday and I still jock it!

the black on black combo is hands down mean looking! :D

 

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.

 

Changing to 19's with wider/lower profile tires and HKS Hipermax II coil-overs improved what was already a pretty good handling car!
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...

 

Will the 19's damage that easily when hitting bumps or potholes?
