I sold them to Phrenetik and then a month later he wrecked the car and a couple of the wheels.

Those are mine, I bought them from 8 maniac when he sold his 8 and bought a Monster Audi S4. SARX FTW.

Bump this thread back to the top! It feels good to have some Volks again.

^In the Calling all Sunlingt Silver thread, someone is asking about your specs on the VOLKs. I mentioned that it could possibly 18x9.5 and 10.5 +15 all around as your previous wheels.

I miss those so much lol. I'm glad that they at least got use with a couple of good RX-8 owners. If it wasn't for the different bolt pattern, I would have tried to keep those volks... So much nicer than these:



I already have a plan for my next set... I just need money! Unfortunately, I probably wont be getting Volks next.

I may behind my times but i just noticed that there are about 4-6 new model wheels out there! All pretty good looking by Rays, but mostly one piece.

Here are some pictures I took at a local Nissan dealership.

Here's what it looks like in my stock suspension with 245/40-18 tires.

I have the same size and width on all four of them with +38 offset. +38/40 in front is a perfect fit if you lower the car with just drop springs, the rears will be tucked. Had two adults sit in the back, the wheels cleared and didn't rub the rear fenders. It may still clear without rolling the rear fenders even if the offset is 5 or 10 mm less.

It's hard to see the GT-F's flow with the AUDI, probably in 19s.

9.5 +33 doesn't need a fender roll with 245/40 but will rub through some plastic pretty quick. +28 needed a roll and some of the bumper tab removed.

+38 for stockish height
+33 for about an inch lower (springs)
+28 for about 1.8-2" lower
+23 for slammed

If you get a pull you can go more aggressive

Yes, I guess you are because you don't have to post to be subscribed to this thread. There is a little box on the top that says thread tools......................

And yes I love giving my opinion. Don't get your panties in a twist fruity, I was just telling you about your sig, seems pointless to have a sig advertising something that is over but rock it if you like.
