My ride is fairly new, so I havent done much yet besides the wheels. I must admit though, seeing your guys rides motivated me to buy the Momos!!

I bet Alucard feels like a crack dealer through all of this. He never sold the stuff, just gave everyone a taste for free and then made us go pony up to get some of our own!

I really like the black/silver on the red, yellow and black 8s. And the silver is money on silvers, gray and blue. Of course, I think either color of the wheels looks good on just about any.

I'd really love to see someone get these in white and put them on a WB.

^^^lol yea I guess you can say that hahaha

btw... the cars look great guys

Hey Guys,

I just got word that my Falkens are to ship this week. Then I can get the 19" black/Silver MOMOS on my black 8. I know of few of you are curious what they will look like!!!!

Thanks for all the great pictures that everyone put on this Thread, and especially our friend Alucard for starting it!

thanks everyone,
Titus

+1. i really dont like them at all. im against chrome. but to each his own.

YeahYeahYouWere 06-02-2009 07:11 AM

I really am not a big fan of chrome. But that being said, I think they look alright. They're not my style personally, but I think they fit the look of the car and they're not over the top. And they are definitely different from what most people do.

craigwfla 06-03-2009 04:27 PM

A quick question for you guys. Ive noticed my car gets a little "squirrely" at high speeds after putting these on vs my stock wheels (kept straight). Did anyone else have the same issue? I also have a little pull to the right.. didnt know if any of you had to get a front end alignment??

What kind of high speeds do you mean? It sounds to me like your wheels might need a balance. Even if they were balanced when you last took them off, they might need re-balanced. I wouldn't think it would be an alignment issue if your other wheels tracked straight, but I'm not an expert. I'd say try balancing first though - it might be worth a lifetime rotate and balance at Goodyear or something, it's only $60 and they'll rotate and balance every 6k I think.

Alucard 06-03-2009 08:54 PM

+1 what he said... also you may want to look into the alignment...

But just remember the momos are heavier than the stock wheels... and at high speeds you will notice it.

I have my suspension completely done and I noticed a difference after I put them on. But since im going for looks and not performance I DONT CARE.... :evil_laug :lol:

Also, in my dismay over the oiling of my baby yesterday (they didn't properly seat my oil filter and it led to some smoking and stinking), I forgot to mention that the technicians all agreed that while they had seen MANY RX8s come in with aftermarket wheels, mine were easily the best looking they had ever seen. V-10 FTW.

Alucard 06-04-2009 12:40 PM

hahaha V-10 FTMFW!!!
