Ti RX-8 with 19" Axis Hiro's

Picked up my new wheels from cortc yesterday and mounted them last night. Here's a quick pic I took this morning. I'll try and get some better ones this weekend. BTW the car is dropped with Tanabe NF springs.

Thanks again cortc, it was a pleasure meeting you last night.

clear corners are on their way RB F/R Sways too....Haven't really planned on any body kits, I kind of like that clean look. Only cosmetic upgrades I plan to do to the exterior (besides the wheels) are clear corners, R Magic eyelids, R Magic fron lip spoiler......And I plan on debadging her as soon as I can.

Talking

Nice... we have the exact same car :D.... did you lower yours? I have eibachs on mine and I got the clear corners, so you'll have a twin in town... and I also want to go with the Rmagic front lip, with the MS sideskirts and rear bumper (Maybe). Nice car :D

Did you keep the PSI settings from Cortc? If so let me know what they are, I know he tested different ones... can't seem to find that post...

This was before I dropped it:

Man...I'm so glad cortc had these wheels before me He gets to answer all my technical questions..lol

Ostrovago: Seeing pics of your car with the Hiro's are what convinced me to buy these wheels. I had no idea you were local. We need to get together one of these days and take pictures of the "twins" My car is lowered with the Tanabe springs BTW.

Cortc, I am curious, if you sold your old hiros, what do you have on now? You have one of the best 8's on the board, cant imagine your car not having them

Rear spoiler?

No Rear spoiler in your future?

In my neighborhood i'd be fined for the X-mas lights still hanging but then again with my 8 outside who'd notice!

Did you find that the hiros were just too heavy going by the new rims you have chosen? I have been considering hiros for awhile and so far there only seems to be 2 or 3 folks on the forum that own them. I read your previous threads....you seemed happy enough..

Thanks again Cortc

Cortc 32-36 isn't that kinda of high I just checked and I'm at 26 all around? But these were set from the rim shop that installed the wheels...
