Cool Wire Wheels?

Has anyone fitted their 8 with wire wheels. I have some 20" rims in my garage that I love but I think they may be too heavy, being chromed and such. All jokes aside, is there 1 rx8 with Daytons out there? Like I said, I am expecting lots of laughs, but I am serious.

Not like I would be riding them all the time. I have them already, I was wondering if I was using them if I would screw anything up. Parade day n stuf. Rolling through Highland Park. *****'n'giggles/
They are really heavy, like my winter & summer rims heavy.
I used to ride Belle Isle in my slammed ranger with the 20"s, I like them. I grew up looking at Daytons on everything in Detroit.
I prefer my tmps rims anyway. Just thought I'd ask.

I just want to make sure the weight of the wheel doesn't screw anything up. They are alot heavier than stock.

Put them on for pics and then take them off. If you're serious, you're better off becoming a 300C driver.

hahahah you guys are hillarious! I won't drive a Chrysler, don't need curb feelers, and on second thought, if I were to put them on and post them up the pictures will forever be known on the RX8.com club as that ******* idiot with Daytons and no-one will know they were on my car for 20mins. BTW, they don't clear my front Brakes.
I will be posting the rims on Craigslist Detroit if anyone wants 'em.
-->Saynotopistons- Dude, you like trance. I'll give you a glowstick, some vicks under your nose, cold water, some gum and shine some lights on the rims, give them a spin and you can mash your jaw all night and listen to Darude. hahaha
Some very funny peeps out there though. I will stick to my enkei rims.
Thanks for reinforcing my low self esteem. I should be a douche and just get a BMW.

First of all, it's called house. Second, yes I do like the artist Deadmau5 because he has the ability to come up with catchy tunes, is that a problem? I don't see how that is relevant to "glowsticks, vicks, cold water, gum" or your wire wheel obsession.

Just playin' fella. Jeeez.
I've been a hard techno Dj for 15 yrs and Techno Animator for 9, what can I say?
And I do know what house is, I've worked for Ghostly and B.Pitch.


I poke back you get all uptight.

...and sorry, the Dayton Idea was not well thought out. I just miss my minitruck I think.

Not the best photochop but I was bored, couldnt find any rx8s with 20's so had to shrink the rim down got a bit fuzzy on the back... but you get the idea. Thing would look like a monster truck with the 20s on it I think. pic was donated unwillingly by mike[piston eater].
