This was before:



After 2 years got bored and changed to the Advans... actually when I first bought the Volks, my 2nd choice were the Ver 2s... it's great that I get a chance to try both ... here's another angle:



The rims were actually black when I found them at a chop shop, so it kinda disappeared when they're on my 8. So decided to spray them to a bright color, and went for the jugular. Hey you live once, so I say go fulfill your RC/die cast/hot wheel fantasy dude

I am looking for Advan wheels, RS or RZ in gold. But I am seriously in doubt about the sizes.

At first I was thinking 18*8.5 +31.
After reading this thread I've seen the 18*9 +29 and I like the look, but I dont know if its a big difference between them..

What fits without having the fenders rolled and/or camber changed.
If possible I dont want to do either one.

Can anyone help me with this one plz!

So you are gonna spend thousands but you don't want to add a tiny bit more money to roll the fenders? Anyway the 9+29 doesn't need the fenders rolled with a 245/40. If I were to drop the money on advans I would roll the fenders and go wider though.

Looks great!
The color of the wheels complement the cars finish very nicely, and the big brake kit completes the look of the wheels. Now you just need more of a drop

Excellent Job!

Even if the car is lowered? I prefer not to roll the fenders and I am not interested in going wider. Anyway thx for the answer.

^^^

I think if you add an aggressive exterior touch to it, it'll look okay. The whole track colors with a stock body does look out of place.

The wheels look sweet though! Plus, Project Mu is always a win!

Nice Advan wheels but if they were bronze the car would look better. Anyone has T5'S bronze on his rx8?

Not sure I've seen anyone with them but they might be out there.

Just got my RZ's installed, see pictures and specs below. I am still not sure if I am loving it, but I am going to give it some time to grow on me. The pictures are from an Iphone and for some reason make the wheels slightly red. I am going to install the center caps soon.
My car was already lowered by ~1.25" so I was a little conservative with an offset, 45s just fit, 35s would need a fender roll.
Wheels are 18 - 9 - 45mm offset <- Custom bronze (same as Volk uses)
Tires are 255/50 - Toyo's T1Rs

Would 245/40 on a 8.5" rim put as much rubber down to the ground as it would on a 9.0" rim?

Some new rims for a bit of track fun they need a refurb maybe gloss black or matte but I need to start saving for some rubber first.
