Edited to prevent the ensuing flame war.

I don't care about your negative thoughts. 50% will like them 50% will want me to put the same wheels that 1000+ people already have. But thanks for sharing your unsolicited opinion.

I was just stating my opinion. Which is what people do on RX8 forums. Sorry if I came across as a dick, but i'm just not a fan of those wheels at all. The two tone color and rivets just make the wheel look like a cheap ebay wheel.

looks better overall. I got them to work in conjunction with the color scheme of black with silver accents. They are also unique and were NOT cheap.



I can appreciate constructive criticism, but you initial comment seemed like you just wanted to be a *****.

I like them, and that's really all that I care about.

baaaaaa.

Not my style Jbritt, but they're certainly not terrible looking. Definitely look better when looking at the car as a whole.

Planning on either the Seibon CF lips and sides or the Buddy club kit. Not sure which just yet. FI is still next on my list. The body mods will come later once I'm done with that part.

i am seriously thinking about swapping the stock black one back on. If it was the polished cap I wouldn't even think about it, however, the door is the only chrome on the car.

The momos are back on! They could use a good washing, but it's going to have to wait - my allergies are in overdrive right now and it was all I could take to stay out there long enough to bolt 'em on.

My car still rides stock height - I have considered a drop but it's just not worth it with the steady diet of speed bumps that I face.

yes I did lower mine with the Eibach pro kit

Eibach says they lower 1.2"F 0.8"R, but I put them on the car back in 2004.. so they settled a bit since then and I sit lower than that

** Side note... I love them and would recommend them anyone **

I avoid speed bumps... especially with the kit
