I was thinking if we could all post our Rims/Tires/Suspension/Brakes all under one thread. This will make it easier for everyone to refer and compare their wheels setup within the RX8Club. Just copy and paste the format below with every new post. What do you guys think? Sticky?

Nice idea... but i dont see how any of this information is useful.
We already have a thread for aftermarket wheels. If you want to see how a rim looks on an 8, that is good database in itself.
There is also another stickied thread for a list of rims that take TPMS
As far as, Tire-Suspension-Brakes... ??? There is not much you can gather from a poll of what people are using. If we could post grip strength/noise/longevity of tires, stiffness of sways, and stopping power of brakes that would be great.... but it would all be opinion.

brakes can be an important part about choosing a wheel. some wheels may not fit over a bbk. pads arent relevant tho.
id say this could be helpful in choosing offsets and tire sizes for those who would like more extreme fitment

This thread can make it easier for everyone to read. Rather than reading through lines and lines of text just to find that tiny bits of information that i need is time consuming and taxing to the eyes.
With this thread, we present the most sort after answers straight away in a summarise form.
I think we can add a little comment of our set-up at the end just to give the reader a better picture. I'll edit the format.

Sticky Pls!
Again, there are people asking "Will this rim fit? How is this offset? etc, etc, etc...". Guys, why don't we just post our wheel set-up in this thread and STICKY this! So other people could read it and they might say "Hey, this guy got the same offset that i'm thinking about, so it can be fitted. Cool!" This can stop unnecessary new thread with the same questions over and over again. Anyone with me?
