not a fan of the wheels, sorry bud

Im trying out the chrome inserts at the moment but they also came with black inserts but i think all black rims look like steel wheels from far...

they just look like cheapo walmart hubcaps if you want me to be brutally honest.

Yeah, not feeling the wheels at all. They look like steelies with chrome hubcaps.

If you like them though, more power to you. It's your car.

Opinions is what im here for. If i couldnt take a beating then i would have never posted. I like them because they are different from what i've seen on most rx8's but maybe i went too different

i'll switch out to the black inserts and post a pic... brb

That is a great attitude, better than most and I commend you for that. Glad you didn't take what i said the wrong way.

xdsub40

Thanks but i appreciate the honesty just as much

or with black inserts?

Paint your wheels in the body color then add black inserts

Lame looking and lame specs. Those belong on a 85' Buick.

lol @ 9k

i won't bash since the op seems to be lookin' for an honest opinion.

I'm def not feelin' the wheels, inserts or not.

If it were me, i'd spend some more time researching wheels n' fitment on this forum as well as a couple others for some more info on a better attempt.

I feel the intension was right but the execution was off. I say, save up some money n' shoot for something better later on.

p.s. - if you want to try something 'different' check out forum member: Tiltmode43. check out his rim selection...

Black inserts and spacers would be better but the rims are still just wrong for the car.

xdsub40

i am planning on spacers for the rears at the very least. But i dont mind buying another set of rims. I manage a Goodyear shop so rims are very cheap for me. I'll look into something better, thanks guys

It might look sharp if you painted the chrome ones white to match the paint. The chrome is awful. And some side skirts to match your front lip.

xdsub40

Really was thinking about that, its a small project that could make it look better.

Ugly as hell...seriously. Anyway, put back the oem wheels, it is better for your health...lol

What brand are these wheels? I would go with no inserts of the 3 as well.

Helo wheels
