new wheels
 
Well ive been looking at all these stanced out 8s recently in the other thread. I have the 360s for shows im kinda scared to drive on for long distance shows(trailer it some times but still like to drive in the group)

the PIAAs are nice but another club member has a set and far from agressive just very meaty.

Ive been looking at a few sets of volks and a few others. Id like to keep a 255/40 tire all around and run a 18x10-10.5. I really like some of the blues but not sure it fits whats everyones thoughts on color? I like the black but kind of want a crazy color if it will flow well

maybe some ce28, gts, work emotion cr something with a open wheel or thin spokes

heres a quick photochop, not the greatest quality but the only picture where the car is not at a angle.

Do it !!!!! Thats pretty unique. Ive never seen a LY on blue volks before. It actually looks good bro.

Quick glance, I like it. If I stare at it long enough, I don't.

Your car is definitely dope though.

Also note that it has been proven that I have no taste with regards to wheels and what looks good. LY is my favorite color on the 8 (mine is LY) but one of the hardest (IMO) to find stand out wheels for. Seems like it's black or nothing...

At first I thought I wouldn't like it...but I actually really do! What about maybe green? Or red? Or....hear me out....pink....

bumblebeerx8 05-16-2012 08:42 PM

I thought about all those colors but always came back to the blue if i did something like this. May photochop some more later

Rotary-RX8 05-16-2012 08:46 PM

Get the mag blue from volks !!! Bro it will look insanely dope im telling you. Thats a sick color theme.

Bamsterman 05-16-2012 08:51 PM

Your car is tuned and modded enough to pull off the blue volks easily! I wouldn't blame you if decide to go with blue over the others. It looks really good!

blue is still my fav so far

LifeAfterRx8 05-16-2012 09:51 PM

I'm not a fan of bright colored rims but I'd say out of all those, the blue probably are the best.
I saw a black R34 with those green volks and they looked great but not feeling it with the yellow, too many colors.

Honestly, I'd check out a bronze/copper color if that's available.

TopGear8 05-16-2012 10:05 PM

None of them look good...

G_ man 05-16-2012 10:41 PM

Maybe a gold or rust colour, you got the skills to do the photo shop, I wish I could do that sit!!!!!!!!
I don't have the skills for that yet,but I can build a really great house

Yellow wheels FTW! lol

SamPappas 05-16-2012 11:42 PM

no lie, i liked the green and yellow a lot

pdxhak 05-16-2012 11:54 PM

The yellow/black combo makes it very difficult to pull off a third color. The rear of your car looks really busy in each of your chops. Maybe white wheels?

TopGear8 05-17-2012 12:14 AM

^At least someone is seeing clearly..

RickA 05-17-2012 02:06 AM

+1 for white or maybe a basic silver... Polished might be pushing it

custom dark blue, i have more pics if you are interested. depending on daylight, it was anywhere from blue to navy blue to black at night. the following picture i think is pretty true to what it looks like in daylight, but not shining directly at it.

**edit**
actually, brake dust was the biggest contributor to the dullness of color.. stock pads. the second picture is what i have on there now. pretty simple.

PURPLE VOLK RE30's!

sorry to threadjack, but where did you get your carbon ms wing? ebay? from racing raven? Ive seen a few but im scared on fitment.

nanciscom 06-07-2012 10:59 PM

OOh,, I want the purple.. for sure.

9krpmrx8 06-07-2012 11:48 PM

I'm not feeling any of those colors bro. Maybe some white wheels..............

Sorry this question is unrelated to the thread but what did you use to relocate your license plate like that?


Back on to the wheels, with the crazy color setup i like the pink but i think the black with the yellow volks is perfect.
