wow beautiful ...good choice... seriously, mad props!

 

Beautiful rims. I love how they look on your 8...

 

Sweet ride -- makes me wonder what you are going to do next.

 

Very nice my friend.

 

They look great! do you have clearance for turning in the front?

I imagine the air pressure sensor wont work. this is probably in another thread, but what happens when the sensor is not connected? how do you get the light to turn off.

 

that hasn't been solved yet^^

 

The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) sensors work perfectly, the last picture is of one of them... They have some tolerance so even with the 36 rear and 32 front pressures they do not give me any problems...

If the pressure drops below 28psi the light turns on...

 

Another perfect looking ride! Cortc, your killing me with all these mods! :D

 

Thanks guys, and yes there is plenty of clearance all around... This could have been an OEM setup, with every picture I have some comments that explain a lot of the details...

 

Another thing about these rims is that for being 19" they are light and the 235 & 265 tires are relatively light as well...

 

Man, I love it! Good choice.

 

How ligt is relatively light? Did you get a chance to weigh them?

 

The 8.5 is about 1 lb and the 9.5 is about .5 pounds lighter than stock... I will get the tire weights and post, they are wider but these are very low profile...

 

nice wheels and nice car :D

I chose to order my wheels with the same size as yours.

You're not having any problems with rubbing or anything?

How much did you lower your car?

I plan on lowering my car with eibach springs and they say it will

lower my car by 1.2 inches front/rear.

I'm hoping mine won't rub.

 

Dongwhi: No rubbing at all, plenty of clearance all around even when fully loaded and driving aggressively... My car is lowered 1" with Mazdaspeed kit, it could go another 1/2" no problem, make sure to post some pics when your get yours; would live to see them...

 

It L@@ks nice.....Here's how your car would look dropped on Tanabe Springs.

 

niiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

RX8on19s: Car and RIMS look great, man that RX8 is low!; you have to be careful... What size wheels and tires as well as offsets? I am putting together a list of different sizes... Oh and do you have the TPMS working?

 

RX8on19s: Saw your original post on the wheels with sizes and offsets...

 

Cortc,

Perfect. No, I left the TPMS units inside my stock rims. I did it this way because if I have to go to the dealer for warranty work, I can swap my wheel in a moments notice.

I am looking into buying a set of TPMS simulator. These units fool TPMS into thinking everything tire pressure is fine.

 

RX8on19s can u plz post more pics of ur beautiful car and rims. They look amazing !
I have a red rx-8 and i was thinking about wheels with ur sort of design, can u tell us about the handling and ride etc.
Much thx.

 

Well cancelled the order on the HREs like these way better and with the $ left over will be ordering brakes and still have $ left over, will post pictures of the brakes as soon as I get them...

 

Red calipers would look great. Anybody have rear caliper kits yet. Last I read, Stoptech and Brembo's only had front's.

 

where did you order them from

 

Only front caliper set from everyone in Japan too...
