The red inserts can be removed, or painted for another car. Also they come with a set of Chrome inserts and a set of carbon fiber inserts.

is disgusting what you want to here?

I think those look awesome, where did you get those?

LOL...did you read the subject?

lol oh, didnt pay attention. how much did they cost?

Sorry, I have to be honest. Those are hideous and cheap looking. If you like them that's all that matters though ;)

ehhh naht

First set sold because no one else would want to be seen with them! :) Sorry, had to.

those are kinda wrong.....

......

if they were Konigs they'd be the same as the skull RX8. :puke:

no comment.. :icon_no2:

I'm sorry , I don't care for them at all. But if your happy, thats the main thing. Enjoy.

Maybe if there wasn't any rivets...
hmmm..
As long as you're happy i guess.

Howard, I like them. Looks good on the VR.

At the very least, according to the comments above, not everyone on the block will have them....... :)


For reference, please post wheel size, offset & tire size. Thanx.

here goes my feedback!! i think this is the 1st and only set tirerack is going to sell, but thats just my opinion its a downgrade from the stock wheels:lol: :lol:

not feeling the rims. but as long as ur happy. congrats

I actually like it, and was considering a similar set (from Enkei, I think) with the insert option for my own car. In the end, I'm going to go with a more subtle red on the wheel, like the red pinstripe around the edge, but... well... I definetely like your wheels, for what it's worth :)

Not that bad, but I don't really like the red in the middle of each "spoke"...

I agree, the rivets take away, but they certainly are eye catching! When you pull up beside cars at a stop light you will get noticed... as to the response... pretty mixed I would imagine. ;)

i actually considered these for a little bit.....its true

I actually didn't expect so many negative responses. I use to get a lot of comments on my RX8, live that is, in the past, but recently it seems to go unoticed.
Once I put the rims on the responses have beeen very positive and quite a few people including a couple of RX8 owners said they liked them.

Several people mentioned the rivets. I though rivets were like metal fasteners that were permanently attached. These are actually screws with allen heads.

I considered putting the black inserts in as the red might be too much.

As for being a downgrade from the stock wheels. More then one person said the stock wheels look like mattel toy wheels.

Actually I changed them because after 4 years of driving in a area with horrible roads and curb rash they were looking pretty bad.

I did notice these wheels look a lot like several other wheels that Tire Rack had from other manufacturers except for the removable inserts.

Somebody asked for additional information so here is the link.

I did not realize they had inserts :) I like the looks better without inserts and then with the CF inserts.

no inserts

With carbon fiber inserts

I think these look a lot better than those koing crap everyone has, but still not my taste.

just say no to rivets
