most race/road bicycles are powder coated, Lance's crazy 10k+ carbon/etc road bicycles that he won the tours on had powder coated components, I seriously doubt it weighs much of anything, now plating on the other hand, that might add some weight (ex: chrome) but powder coating is pretty much a non-factor. And deedub should show the thread where that pic came from, it only looks that low because he had it parked funky on a driveway...or something....cheater

 

dammit...dont give away my secret..

 

got OWNED!

 

motegi over volks.
dayton spinners ftw

 

No, BBS over volk..you got it all wrong...hahaa

 

lol silly me.

 

everything over volks.

 

Will these with on the rx-8? I am guessing not since it was made for the nismo.

 

unfortunately probably not the offset isnt right.

 

they make a 18x8.5 with high offset...i was considering about buying a set for my car.

 

i wouldn't mind having these as daily driver wheels..put my volks in the garage for storage.LOL

 

hahaha dadadadamn balllllllllllllaar

 

i envy you. lmao

 

corrected,

poor baller wannabe poseur..haha

 

hahaha all my guys call it "ballar on a budget" haha

 

They said it will fit, but center bore size will needed to be widened. They have 18x8.5 in the front with a +40 and a 18x9.5 +40 in the rear.

 

what sizes are our center bore?

 

Ooooooh. Dude. Those would look so sexy on my new whip. What are they, like $800 and change a piece? Aye, Dub! Do all Ray's take TPMS?

 

phantom, no sir...they do not.

 

67mm

 

so i got a message back from gruppe-s about the 57F's. i was considering getting a set from them but they are saying that the offsets are far too agressive and won't fit. they are running 18x8.5 at +45 offset. are they right about this not working for us?

 

The guy I pmed at gruppe-s said they have 18x8.5 +40 and 18x9.5 +40. That it will work if the bores are widened , but "it will be slightly tucked in and the size in the back is slightly smaller. "

 

these are gonna look great on the 8!

 

funny, the guy i spoke to and got an email from didn't even mention the bore size. i even emailed him ours and asked if that was going to be an issue. the only issue he gave me was the offset. PM me with his name and let's see if this is the same guy or if none of them know what the correct answer is. you would think they would be more on top of it as i would love to put some cash down for some 57F's - whether they be the Time Attacks, bronze, or the silvers they have on sale.
