I got the sprint springs, but I haven't installed them. They are very similar to springtech, so I'm pretty sure the look will be about the same as yours. Have you ever thought about putting on a body kit? Because I think if I put the springs on, I be able to put on a body kit. Anyways, great ride man, love the no-air-dam front with aero flares w/ mud guards!

hey quick question. I'm confused abut the difference of getting 18" 18x8.5 compared to 18x9.5. I know they are wider and you'll need to get the 265 tire but whats the difference? I plan on getting 18's and i wanna keep the stock springs the same( meaning not lowerin it) but i'm just confused about the pros and cons in the difference of the 8.5 vss the 9.5. Any difference in the look of the rim? thanks -steve

also one more question, i just checked a website on the fitment for the rx-8 and it says that these rims will not fit the rx-8 because the minimum fitment must be 45, and these rims are anywhere from 35 to 40...so does this make any difference cuz you obviously have them on ur car. Just curious if its some ploy to get me to buy the biggest 19s they offered were the only ones that fit

i have had these rims since the end of december and they survived long islands winter and still look great. no bends or anything so far. i am very happy with them so far, especially for the price.
