rota, p45r. i got them from wheeldude.com - can't miss them if you go to their site. other colors and sizes are there too. pm me if you have any questions.

muchas gracias

 

Looks great! I
I'm picturing it now and its a thing of beauty

 

oh man, Gene was hit by a car on his bike (motorcycle), someone apparently cut him off to short and layed it out etc. He might have been taking a week off for medical or something.
I'm keeping the centers black for sure, just with a more brilliant/durable finish, the paint on my wheels was pretty weak which is a shame considering if I paid full retail for those I'd be out over 8-900 a wheel for poor paint etc., hopefully mine are an exception and not the rule. Rene has been coming by almost every night after work to help on my car, I'm really looking forward to showing the world his work come November He told me about your sideskirts, we'll be mounting mine the same way, really looking forward to it since Beasley South tore up my passenger side one pretty good. (ugh, tore up my engine bay too, bastards)

 

Beautiful Wheels. What up Canary, where you been?

 

Dam they look sick

 

dude wtf!! he's ok though?? oh **** man, that's messed up. well if you talk to him let him know to call me. or let me know if he needs anything.

ouch - that does suck. hopefully you'll get something back that's better. so does rene to away-from-the-shop work? i don't know anything about rolling fenders, but if it's something he could do "on the side" that'd be awesome - it's hard to get my car to the shop during the week b/c i need to get a ride to/from work. i'd pay him to do wknd work or something.

what else are you doing to your car?? **** man, it's already decked out!! i forgot mazda south tore up your skirts. bastards is right!!

thanks 9k!

hey thanks!

 

they are going to look great bro good looks

 

yeah man, not to hijack but he has been talking about buying a fender roller, and I know he does side work from time to time. As far as what else I'm doing, I don't want to let too much out, but it's going to debut at Sema and it's going to be way more overboard than it's ever been I'll go ahead and post a teaser pic, car is a little lower now as evidenced by my back wheel in this shot:

 

Nice wheels man. I wanted them for a long time as an extra set.

 

Canary did you bag it? 2tone, get them on already!

 

yeah no kidding, that looks crazy low! so i guess you got your engine stuff all worked out? weren't you about to ditch the car b/c of that? sorry if i'm off, it's been a while!

well **** - tell rene if he's got that to let me know, he can do my fenders for sure.



ok ok, 9k, just got them on!! literally just got home. they look WICKED!! gotta take my dog to the vet, but i'll get some pictures up afterwards. AMAZING

 

hurry hurry we cant wait those are some sexy rims

 

Nice!! Can't wait 2 see them on ur ride.

 

Yup, Canary does kind of have a crazy setup, how low lol?

2tone just to give you an idea of what it could possibly look like, the pictures don't do it justice. Maybe one person has seen my car in person and he is not on the forum but drives an rx8. The car is lowered on tein basic and in person is kind of very very low in the front and so I have lots of issues getting into certain parking lots or speed bumps ha ha. I think yours might look better but I can only say that because I can only see them online. Hopefully you will be lowered lol, so I probably could have taken better pictures: 3rd picture gives a even better idea IMO. The car is kind of dirty too.

 

^ oh man those look great! did you get the same size i got. the front looks a little more tucked than mine, but might just be the pics. they look awesome though - thanks for sharing!!

ok - headed out to take a few pics now...

 

ok i got them put on this morning!! holy **** they are some fat tires! i'll take better pics when i pull it out of the garage, just wanted to snap a few so you could see them mounted. i am in love....................

full specs:

18x9.5 +30 rota p45r
275/35/18 dunlops all around
lowered on tein s springs
as of now, no rolling or pulling (i will though)

lookin good bro ... i cant seem to find black ones i love em though

 

black rotas? they have 'em. look up dozer for pics.

 

will do im looking to get a new set of rims soon and i really like how yours look but i have a black/tigrey theme going so i would need them in black

 

Congrats... nice wheels... PDM!

 

pm'd

 

Those look good man, yeah you're def gunna need a roll for hard cornering

 

thanks flip. not as nice as your 19's, but close!!

yeah, totally. glad they fit though so i could drive them home, etc. i really just wanted them on!! now i just gotta remember to NOT drive it like i normally do! on the way home this a.m. i could hear it scuff in the back over the smallest bumps, ha ha. it'll do though until i can get into the shop.

didn't feel like there was a lot of lip to roll in the front. more so in the back where it's more obvious which is good.

dude how do i post pics in the thread. i know it's easy but i don't know how - host somewhere else and insert the link, is that it?

 

Those look sweet with a black 8. Yup, my wheels are the same size/offset and they just have a bit of a fatter lip because of the tire size I choose(255). Yes my wheels are kind of close to being tucked because of my coilovers setting, yours might look a bit lower with coilovers too and the Tein S have a pretty nice and even drop IMO. Your wheels look great, I have to say. Also with my coilovers, I would probably have to get a roll most likely if I were to go with 275, I can get away with 265 but 255 while being as low as I am now would be so far a perfect fit without having to roll the fenders. I also forgot to mention that the MS kit makes your wheels stand out more for some reason, atleast the side skirts, very nice!
