Cool thanks. That is what I was thinking just did not know it had a name :) I remember someone posting a RX8 show car with Volk GTS in this style and thinking there were bad ass!

I wish my wheels had more lip to pull it off.

The first page of this thread still has some of the best looking rx8's i've seen. (plus I don't think any of them exist in that form anymore)

Nopstnz8 05-07-2009 12:23 PM

Those look amazing Rotr8! Can't wait to see them on your 8.

SiLVeRE8 05-07-2009 02:26 PM

I agree...it's sad to see them come and go! At least FE3P's SF Challenges are living through Ngo's.

Rotr8 05-07-2009 10:07 PM

I wanna see yours RA???

RA-Eight 05-07-2009 10:13 PM

It's gonna be nothing special, after seeing yours! ;) It's supposed to be nice on Saturday, I'll try to snap some pics.

Rotr8 05-07-2009 10:34 PM

Mines nothin special,, just matte and a standard PPG paint...

Still a Volk is a Volk:yesnod:

lepichichi 05-07-2009 11:00 PM

^^ damn greg awsome wheels, are they gonna be ready for the sushi meet in DE ???? i would love to meet them in person??? btw when are you gonna show me the mr2 :)

Im_DANomite 05-08-2009 07:24 AM

make sure the wheel shop has those bolts tightend down correctly, AND WITH LOCK TIGHT. would not be a pretty day if they came loose on your supercharged, high torque, RX8...

Rotr8 05-08-2009 02:09 PM

Yup Bruce knows all about it, he's even taken a couple of the spare fasteners and test torqued them til they break just to see if they are still at the same spec they were before...

RA-Eight 05-08-2009 02:10 PM

What torque spec did you end up using?

Rotr8 05-08-2009 02:22 PM

45lb...

Im_DANomite 05-08-2009 02:23 PM

good shit, Bruce knows his wheels. can't wait to see it on the 8 greg.

dwdgsi04 05-08-2009 11:40 PM

Got the SF Challenges mounted. Coilovers are tomorrow (or sunday depending on how lazily I work)

Volk GTS refinished to Satin Black and Polish Lip
 
Alright, didn't get a chance to do a nice photoshoot, so I had to settle for the garage shots with poor lighting. Better pics after a few other goodies installed.
