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 ***!

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

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

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...

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...

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.

Front


Rear


My inspiration




Before


After (photoshopped)
