while this is not my car, it does give a good idea of what my car will look like when the wheels get here :D

 

and i don't know why it won't let me capitalize all the letters in SSR and GT3 in the title of the thread...but i swear i tried :D

 

I hate the rivets SSR puts in those wheels. IMO, they look too cheesy. I'm sticking to my guns and getting ADVAN RG's.

 

All fixed. :D

 

why thank you, Omicron...and I dig the rivets myself...must be the helicopter pilot in me who knows that rivets are life :D and i thought you wanted SSR Mesh's...sheesh, it's hard to keep track

 

and what's cheesy is the fake rivets companies put on their wheels...not the real rivets that serve a purpose...

 

I think the GT3 s look awsome on an '8. Congrats! Please post pics.

 

I did want the Mesh's, but I don't think they would be as useful as the RG's. I believe the GT3 is a multi-piece wheel, which makes it really strong. Sorry, ScudRunner, I'm just a sucker for gold, mesh wheels, or ADVAN RG's. :o

What size and offset did you get them in?

 

I think the SSR GT3 rims are some of the nicest looking rims on the market. It looks great in that picture. Good Luck

 

they look great! what size is pictured?
please post size, offset and tyre size if you can

 

no apologies, bro...i've been back and forth with about a dozen different wheels, so i'm just kidding ya about all the mind changing...and, yes, the GT3 is a multi-piece wheel; three piece in fact, hence the rivets. I am ordering 19x8.5 +37 all the way around, and wrapping them in 245/35 Kumho Ecsta MXs.

 

as for the size in the picture, i'm not sure...however, that RX-8 looks pretty stock as far as ride height goes, and the wheel well gap is fairly small, so i'm going to hazard a guess and say that they are 19's in the picture....beyond that I couldn't say
