Arrow PICS:Installed Volk GT-V on Ti RX8

Hey guys,

LINK TO SUBFORUM FOR GT-V CLEARANCE

Recent local client of ours picked up some Mercury Silver GT-V's for his RX8 and was kind enough to send pictures of them installed for us to post up.

We have one set of these left on clearance.

Here's the photos:

Car has not been lowered. He's running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

The wheels are nice but the red lug nuts have to go.

The Tail lights...LoL I wasn't too sure about the red lug nuts either, but it was either red or blue(The only lightweight options with a lock that Rishie had at the time). It's grown on me though. Thanks again for the Great Service and Smokin Deal. If your on the fence about doing business with Rishie, don't be. He's a great guy. He even test loaded the rims in his car first to make sure that they would fit in my car before I drove to pick them up(wish I had a picture, the inside of my car was packed..LoL). I'd definitely do business with him again in the future.

Mixed feelings on these. Not so crazy about Rays busier designs, but they would probably look better if the car wasn't so stock looking.

I think the wheels look great (except for the lugs ... sorry). But I'm biased.

To each their own. I think these wheels look phenomenal on the car. Once it's lowered i'm sure your thoughts might change.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so to each their own. I've seen plenty of RX8's out there with wheels that made me queasy but these are not them.

He purchased these wheels for style and price, not for function or speed.

So if looking at them please take that into consideration. I'm sure once lowered we post pics again and it should change the overall "flow" of the car.

I agree, i probably would have gone with a chrome or black lugnut and lock combo. But like i said, it all depends on the owner's taste.

Strakes would help the wheels flow with the car better. Red lugs look dumb though.

i dont think peopel are complaing they are great lookig wheels and on a VR woulf be so sweet but a TG and it looks a little out of place. I think if you put soem blag lugs on theri it would be a HUGE improvement tieing the black windows in.

You can always paint the lugs.
