Thanks Joel :bigok:

Aight...final updates after some messing around with the suspension, enjoy.

SEXY :yumyum:

Oh nice Wade. Looks great. Any chance of a nice sunny day with a good camera?

Rishie

my coworker's cousin just got his forgestars on his rx-8
gunmetal 19x8.5 in front, 19x10 in back on ventus evo12

very sexy

Ok so there's only set of RX8 left plus Atilla's. Not Atilla's set should be done this week.

Atilla, I'm going to check with them tomorrow to see what's up with your 2 orders. Murphy's law, the closes guy to the factory is the last wheel. arghhh. It's because of the piano black I assume. The other colors have been pulled. I do have a copy of their interal order # indicating the wheels were pulled for you and have been scheduled for machining. I will see when they are doing that batch or something. I'm still trying to make sense of the machining schedule.

thanks, Rishie

wow serious??

dont worry atilla, nice guys finish last.. :)

Yeup, no problem. It was late yesterday after getting alignment done at a local shop not to mention 2 hours of washing/waxing it for this weekend. I'll go to a parking lot down the road and snap some shots after work.

My canon power shot makes great pics but with the flash at night it just didn't come out looking good so I had to turn the flash off which in turns deactivates the motion sensor for some reason. So unless you're 100% still it'll look a tad fuzz.

^sweeet

those look great vlaze!!!

can't wait to see yours atilla, esp in piano black!!!!!!!!!! wowza!

Here's a set on a FD:

Titanium Silver is Discontinued.

Brushed Titanium is available. Brushed is what you're seeing on all these rotaries btw.

Rishie

hey Joel! what's a good offset for these wheels in 18x10? I'm on the verge on dropping some money for these.

Vlaze just did a great job on specs. 18x10 +28 with 255/40's. He did a bunch of stuff though to make it work; check out the Aggressive thread.

wow ross that m3 looks WICKED w/ those! great pic.

i love the style of these, but i don't particularly care for the silver wheels on gray/silver cars. on the black 3 they look amazing.

i can't want to see them in black............................................. ............sorry paris...

what are you talking about paul??

i ordered piano black ;) :cool:

that is unless you're talking about seeing these wheels on a bb tho...

if that's the case then....SCREW YOU MAN!! :boid:

:lol: jk

no no on, i KNOOOOOOOOOW you did...and i can't wait to see them!! that's why i was saying sorry...b/c if you saw my post i knew you'd get all depressed and 'woe is me'...:rofl:

oh well in that case then ....

:boid:

thanks for shitting on my Friday gaddamn it!!

:banghead:

ha ha ha ha ha ha

BUT, you are will skyrocket to one of the sickest on the interwebz

yeah... I want an offset that will require a minor fender roll at most. I'm not into negative camber and such.

^look at the +40 and up range if you're looking to get 18x10's on all four corners. You can also run 265/35's all around and only need a minor roll with minimal camber.

I like how they look on the silver and blue rx8... doesnt look like they have negative camber at all. I just don't want to spend a few hundred dollars more and time fitting the wheels.

the specs on angeljoel's car are:

18x10 +42

275/35

looks like very minimal rolling and very little camber.

Aight Rishie, here's some daytime shots as promised:

The rears on my car are dialed in at -2.5 rear and -1.5 front, this was checked by an alignment shop. The shop didn't adjust the camber but it's what was measured when I took it in for them to adjust the toe. It's the result of the low offset, rim width and the car lowered.

I didn't spend any money to get the rims to fit, I did it all on my own and it just takes some patience and time to get it to look good but it's worth it if you want a flush look with the 18x10 size.

I havent roll my fenders, No rubbing whatso ever.. Rishie did a great Job getting me exactly what I asked him for.


Thanks again Rishie and I havent forget about the brakes. I'll give you a call when I'm ready.

this one looks good too.. :P

^ I'm sorry are there rims in those pictures? I'm too busy looking at that huge turbo....:drool:

a little bit to the left.. haha

very nice... I'm waiting for Richie to give me the price confirmation on the set.

do you think a 9 inch wide wheel at the front would be easier to run with no problems?

^that is soley (SP) based on what offset you want to run.

atilla where are yours?

What Atilla said is dead on; depends on your offset. With a 9" width you won't have any steering clearance issues to grind out of the frame like I did but depending on what the tire size/brand is on the rim and how low you are you may at worst have to grind a tad bit out the fender liners.

If you run 18x10 in the rear, unless you have an offset around mid 30's or higher, if you're dropped you likely are going to need a fender roll and grind the fender liner. Also keep in mind you won't be able to rotate tires with a different size rear/front wheel size.

Let me put it this way, if you want a flush look you will have work that needs to be done to the rear and front to pull it off regardless of wheel size. If you don't mind them being sunken in some like angeljoelv has on his then you won't need to do much if any work at all.

^that my friend...is the million dollar question...

:(

if getting a completely flush look is that much trouble with the 18x10, then I guess I'll go with the 18x10 on all corners with the same offset as Angel's. They still look very good!

by the way, do these wheels work with the TPMS?

You can get a flush look with any width wheel, just adjust the offset. Get the wheel that fits the tire you want to run and/or has the look you want (concave or bigger lip). For ideas, read the 19234234 posts in the Will It Fit thread.

also Rishie is very good at what he does. Just contact him and he will let you know what you need.

+1 for letting Rishie help you out. He's one of the rare breed who loves what he does.

I mostly want a concave look, I was already suggested by Richie that in that case 18x10 would be ideal in our car.

Again, it all depends on how low you are and how much negative camber you're running. It's never just one factor. If you for example use a 255/35 tire as many do, you'll get around having to modify the sheet metal inside the front wheel well to clear it when turning and lowered. The downside is your speedo will be off.

18x10 doesn't make this issue alone, low offset contributes a lot to the problem along with tire size, camber, and height. Even with a 255/35, with a low offset you will have to roll the rears as the metal sticks out quite a bit to hit the tire when lowered.

Lastly, these rims are TPMS compatible. I bought some online to install so I could keep the stock ones as well.

any news? :fingersx:

I'm sure hoping this week that all will get out except Atilla's. Supposedly they are powdercoating Atilla's set because not enough piano black came. So frikin' time consuming working with these guys. I've never had to followup so much on a set of wheels are had to wait this long for a set of rims.

I pray to god that all but Atilla will be out this week, and Atilla should be ready to pickup in 2 weeks I hope.

Rishie

Please don't ask for any updates. I will update as soon as I get something. Hoping by Monday.

Rishie, is it true iForged and Forgestar are the same company?
