New wheels!! Nice and Flush
hello peeps,
i got my wheels on! i forgot to buy tuner lugs so i have the stock ones on (Bleh). I had originally ordered them in black but i guess they got confused. Anyways, i really like the way my car sits, it looks flush and i get no rubbing at all, im also on OEM shocks w/ s-techs. i thought that my tires were going to be streched Badly! but i was wrong, the rim is still being protected by the Tires outer lip. tires are: Champiro 328 245/40/18, i have had these tires on since the Begining of 2010; and they still look new.
Wheels are: Rota P45R 18x9.5 ET 30

Wow those do look really good... I was thinking of getting some bronze rims for my LY. Haven't seen any with that combo but I think it would be nice. I think my stechs look lower than those on stock rims but it may just be how it looks in the pics

How long have you had your s techs in? Were they professionaly installed or? I hope your car settles a bit as that wheel gap is a bit suspect. Here's what my car looked like on S-techs a while back:

I have installed S techs at least 5 or 6 times on RX8's and I agree your car looks high. If a shop did it then I doubt they preloaded them correctly. You can do it one wheel at a time with a jack. Then it will look a lot better But then again you are probably not sitting on perfectly flat ground either but it still looks high to me.
