Some people were interested in seeing what these rims would look like. My car is Titanium Grey. 19" (X8.5" front & 9.5" back) Hope this works, & I hope you like them :

That is one good looking 8.

Im not a fan of chrome rims, but wow those look tight!

I demand more pics.:D

Cost?

If purchased online please post the site.

Excellent!! I wonder how'd they'd look powercoated glossy black, with a polished rim lip?

hmmmm....yum!

Cool - looks good. For some reason I didn't think it was stock, but then again I'm kinda dumb.

nice wheels !

pretty clean man...where's the turbo kit pix?

Fanman

Pretty flush with the car. My front rims have a 6.5 mm spacer (from my previous rims) as it rubs the caliper a little bit (you should probably get a 2 mm spacer or go with 35 mm offset. Mine were 38 mm for the 8.5" front & 35 mmoffset for 9.5" rears. 19" wheels.

Man I gotta see your ride sometime, P-I-M-P. Cruise around and pick up some ladies.

Fanman

I got them here.

Thanks RX8Power for letting me know about them. Ask for Edgar. I also saw them on EBay, but be very careful as the offsets are way off. A 20 mm offset will not look good on this car (push it out about another 1 inch), even though the Ebay seller says it will fit on an RX8.

thats nice
love the deep dish

Fanman, sweet ride. I have the 18X8.5 up front with the 38mm offset. That won't rub with the calipers will it?

EZZY

I've got those on my 8 also .. and I did'nt rape the bank getting them either. If only I can get around to taking in my car for the front brake pad change out per recall.....f#*KIN dust really suxs..

Fanman

Yes, it will (just barely). In talking with Edgar over at Need4Speed (I went back to get lugs as the stock lugs will not work) he told me that he forgot but that I needed a spacer for the fronts. Sure enough when I went to put these on, I was thinking my back rims were a bit wide. I totally forgot that I had put spacers on for my OEM wheels to make it look better, and did not remove them when I put on the Sterns. I had the tire place take them off, but when they did the front tires and rotated it around it scratched about 1mm or 2mm of the caliper. So we put the spacers back on for the front, and took the back ones off. I have the 38 mm offset on the fronts.

Fanman

Yes, my car is lowered about a 1/2." I have the Racing Beat springs. In talking with Need4speed they had said that if I had lowered the car I should only get the 235 & 265 tires to prevent rubbing, but I think since the RB springs doesn't lower the car much (compared to Tein or MS) I could have gone with 245 & 275 and still not gotten any rubbing.

rXter

Nice. I got my chromies on the way!

truemagellen

so do these stern wheels come in other colors///finishes?

btw lookin good

Fanman

Not the ones I have, but they have different styles in their line that come in different finishes.

And thanks.
