I have 1/4" spacers in the rear right now until i can shave some off the inside of the strut covers.

somehow your car looks like a monster truck now

canaryrx8 10-04-2005 12:14 PM

sorry, not digging it, would have looked much nicer with a brighter, smaller wheel and a drop, but it's your car and it's your $ so congrats on your rims :) how do you like the magnaflow by the way?

KYRX8 10-04-2005 12:20 PM

it raised the car almost 1/2" but after i get the spacers off ill be able to lower the car a about an inch when my coiovers get here.

The magnaflow if sweet, sounds awesome and looks great too

what wheels are those? can't really tell with the black finish.

yo! don't hate. black with a phat lip is the only way to go. It looks like it's supposed to, like a race car!!! nice choice bro!

KYRX8 10-04-2005 12:44 PM

They are the HPD black MSRs. new for 06. We own 60% of HPD wheels so i talked them into a set before they released them. Now they are available, but only a few sets right now. you can see them http://www.hd-inc.com/msrblack.htm

NgoRX8 10-04-2005 12:45 PM

Wow it does look a little high, but nice wheels by the way.

MrWigggles 10-04-2005 01:33 PM

KY,

I can tell just by your pictures that you have some negative camber on the rear just like I did from factory. You should probably get that adjusted. They were able to add 1 degree to change it from -1.7 to -.7. If you don't, those tires are going to were very fast on the inside and start to "cup" etc. Since you won't be able to rotate your tires anymore, you won't be able to slow down the wear rate.

Coilovers make a lot of sense. It will allow you to lower the front more than the rear - a problem most RX-8's have. (I put 0.5 inch Racing Beat lowering springs only on the front of my car and looks level and rides as good or better)

I have to say, I haven't see too many race cars with giant chrome lips on them. Doesn't look like a race car at all really.

KYRX8 10-04-2005 01:51 PM

almost a drift car feel IMO, but not quite

shameless self promotion :p what wheels did you have before? are those multi-piece forged to be lighter than your previous wheels?

KYRX8 10-04-2005 02:08 PM

i had the 18" Falken Circuit specs. the MSRs are 1pc, the falkens were just heavy

XDEEDUBBX 10-04-2005 02:18 PM

rollin on DUBBS! Nice..

canaryrx8 10-04-2005 02:56 PM

oh yeah, I remember your car now, the Falkens were heavy? dang that sucks, they at least appeared to be light from the pics and such, thanks for the info on the magnaflow, i might go that route in the future..probably going to do brakes first. (at least rotors anyway)

chrism 10-04-2005 03:07 PM

definately diggen the big blings!

rxnum16 10-04-2005 04:02 PM

Your wheels look sweet! What offset are they? I want to go with 20's as well.

KYRX8 10-04-2005 04:14 PM

45 in the rear and 42 in the front

EZZY 10-07-2005 06:54 AM

looks good.
now need to drop it abit....
whats the make/model of the wheel?
so 10kg each for 20" is awesome (is that wil or without the tyre?)

Phlash 10-20-2005 08:23 AM

KYRX8,

Where's my wheel I paid you for and why are you ignoring my PM's, direct email's and im's?

StealthFox 10-26-2005 07:33 PM

nice bling bling 20's

Gerael 10-26-2005 09:28 PM

def needs to be slammed...

i'm not much a fan of black rims though... maybe on a brilliant black rx8...

iridearocket 11-01-2005 03:25 PM

Car looks awesome... now you need 400HP to break those babies loose !!!
