What do you guys think of these rims and Tires?
I have a velocity red 2007 rx 8. i saw this gold colored rim just like these on a Red G35. but it looked so sick. so i wondered how it would look on my red rx8. well just want to see your opinions. i will probably buy these rims anyways.


i will get 18"

Welcome to the forum. Please add location to your profile.
I also like the look of gold wheels on VR but not as much as black wheels and a nice black-out treatment.
Since my 8 is SS it doesn't matter

Not of a fan of "gold" wheels on Red cars. Think they look a lot better on black or white cars!

But, its you car. If you dig them, get em!

not a huge fan of those. The gold wheels on that MS VR are the lesser of all evils.

Sorry guys, i haven't been responding to all your comments. well they are all great and thanks i really appreciate it. well to tell the truth i am tired of the black on red look. my tacoma right now has black rims and my tacoma is red. my old red civic hatch was red and had black rims. so i figured i try a new look. But like i said earlier i saw a G35 with rims like that one i posted and it looks really good. well i liked it. but thanks again. i updated the profile sory. i have just been laggin.
