Hi Wind Dance
Thanks man, I am using CE28nf where the spokes go all the way to the outer edge, a slight diff from CE28n.
Guess I am just lazy and name it as ce28 instead of the diff sub models.......I am looking at some te37 for track duties if I can get it cheap.....rays rocks!!!!
Cheers

 

nice 8 alan! I want your bumper

 

Thanks silveRE, I want you gauge pod!!!!

 

ok fine... lets just trade.... hahahaha

 

I like those better on your car than that 350z

 

8 maniac.. nice wheels, finally for those tires on huh... lol

Alan.. i know, just curious why you choose those over ce28n's. I rarely see people with your type. It's actually quite unique.

 

gram lights 57c 18x8.5 +30
225/45/18
(stock tires)
lowered about an inch on tein basics

 

Volk TE-37's, originaly for my 95 eagle tsi awd talon, now on my RX8. I owned them since 2000, 9 years and no curb rash, no pot hole damage, some scuff from cleaning..lol

But the paint is more coarse and the brake dust loves to stick to em.

17x7.5, car feels very predictable and neutral and corners.

 

Just a personal preference on the shape because I find that if the spokes go to the edge, the rims can end up looking slightly bigger....
Spec wise, abt the same, also forged alum........

 

Here are a few shots of my 09 RX-8 with my new bronze Axis Circuits (forged, 18 x 8.5", 45 mm offset, 16.7 lbs.).







It will get lowered a bit eventually, and I will replace the OEM tires with P255 ones when they wear out.

 

Stupid comment.....

 

Axis Circuits are made by Rays. They're essentially the Gram Lights 57F. He's okay, he's one of us!

Oh, I'm wrong.... Sorry about that, I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know

Welcome to the club then!

 

Thanks. The fact that these are Rays and forged were what drew me to them, and it turns out that the color is *exactly* what I was looking for. It looks like the color you would get if you could blend the black paint with the gold flakes in it. I do wish they had a slightly more aggressive offset (like maybe 38 to 40 mm), but once I get some 255 tires on them, they should fill out the rear fenders a bit more, and I will be lowering the car between 1 and 1.5 inches eventually.

 

love the black on bronze combo

 

black with bronze wheels is such a good combo, it just looks so clean

 

yeah I curse the day they re-badged these and only offered them in only one size

 

Advans ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

sex on the beach

 

Those would prolly look pretty good on my car!

 

/\ GTFs...

 

I have these as the Gram Lights, for autocross and track days. The 8.5 width and +45 offset aren't that bad. Looks-wise, yes, I can probably use a little more offset. But overall, pretty light, and agile. Especially compared to my GTS.

You may be able to find them used on the Altima or Sentra forums, as they were Nismo badged for that market.
