Here's an extreme example just to show you what I mean by the 'roll-dig' appearance.

Compare the above with this 'mirrored' image which is what the rims would look like on the other side of the car.

Post See the above...

Hey Efini 8, the explanation is given in the last 2 of my photo attachments. I'll agree that the first set of rims I posted DO look like the stocks, but just the little bit of difference with the 'hyper black/silver' makes them stand out; rather than trying to create that effect yourself on the stock rims.

"Roll-dig" is just a term I used to explain what appearance I was trying to define. It currently has a trademark application pending and anyone who wishes to use it must pay me a bajillion dollars or 1 MazdaSpeed RX-8, preferably painted white (since that color won't be coming to the States).

:D :D :D :D

LOL Efini 8, hope the explanation helps!

These please. Advan SA-90's, bronze on blue is so right.



someone with good photochop abilities, could you please put these rims on a Winning Blue RX-8 with OEM front/rear lips, side skirts, and spoiler. It would be much appreciated.

This is a very nice rim LightEmUp. I am having a black RX8 but I think the gun metal colour looks better. Gold will be very odd I agree. White is not bad but..... not my style

with black? i say if you're the "look at me" type, go for black on bronze or black on polished. if you're more conservative, black on hyper black. black on silver is ultra-conservative and rather common i think but is almost guaranteed to look good.

Agree with all the above... I think I am the "look at me" type. Thanks for your confirmation.

This may have been mentioned somewhere in this long thread, but what would you think of chroming the stock rims? I like the style and choming would add extra flair. I have the Velocity Red. Also, will there be any problem removing the air pressure sensor or having the chrome interfere with it's function? Finally, what would I expect to pay to chrome 4 rims?
