RX8 rims on Mazda 6 wagon
 

Spring has arrived in BC.
I installed the RX8 rims with Dunlops.

That's nice BackinBlack! Very mean looking! :D

Did you powder coat that? Looks real good. :)

I painted them with VHT gloss black and VHT clear coat wheel paint.

looks ok..i think you should have gone all the way and did the entire rim...kinda like how back in the day when old school celica's and corollas would use supra rims...

I wasn't expecting much when i opened the thread, but it looks pretty damn cool with those rims

Creative. I like it!

Great innovative mod , thinking out of the square :cool: i have thought of doing the same on my Yellow RX8 BUT IN A GUNMETAL GREY . :D

Could you tell us the procedure you used , how long did it take you ?

cheers

i really like that...now just get yourself a sporty drop to close up that wheel gap!

I removed the center cap because I wanted it silver. The masking took a bit of time because I did it with the tires on. I sanded the spokes with fine steel wool then I sprayed two coats of VHT wheel primer, three coats of VHT gloss black and three coats of VHT clear coat. I purchased the wheels and tires from a rx8club member last October. I installed them last week because I was waiting for it to warm up here before I put them on.

kind of looks like a SUV, :rolleyes:

Looks cool!!! Great Idea

Somehow the rim looks smaller if the rims aren't entirely black.

When I did my 16" rims all black people thought I had 17" rims.

When I did my 17" folks thought I had 18" rims.

There's something to be said visually when u have the wheels and tires matching colors. It just makes the wheel look that much bigger.

I like it
the black and chrome looks good IMO

Very nice! Modded wagons are the shiznit. And they just plain confuse the hell out of people. I wish I didn't have to sell mine. Why can't someone make a track-ready wagon dammit???

what about the dodge magnum^^^^^^^^
