Your using your stock tires on your new setup?!

Stock tires are not a low profile tire and are actually a little bit on the small side for an 8.5

225 should fit on 8.5 okay, but you should by better tires though.

Like I've said, I will use the stock tires until they wear out.

What's wrong with the Bridgestones?

Rob: It's been 11 weeks, so the 8-10 so far was B.S. I figure they should be here by the 31st of the month...

The wait is killing me...

Ouch.

Well, I guess I will just have to be prepared for the full 12 week wait (I was quoted 6 to 12 weeks).

That will put me right at Christmas, which probably isn't a good thing with all the extra load on shipping.

Here's an idea of what the Work Meister 2-piece wheels might look like on an RX-8.

I love the buddyclub wheels but unfortunatly the offset would be illegal in .au
they don't seem a popular brand in japan (not much on the net anyway)
when you get them post some pics.

enkei realy anoy me. they always advertise that they make light wheels, they don't tell you what they weigh or if they do they quote a weight for a 15"x 6" wheel. to top it all off they are rarely light and normaly heavy compaired to the other jap brands like SSR and Volk.

This is my favorite wheel: Racing Hart C4


Not quite sure how they would look on a RX-8 though. I want to get some white TE37s to match my car...

I had those ordered and put on the car alongside with the Hiros from Axis, I really didn't like the way the RC looked, they looked a lot better on my friends g35 so I went with the hiros, nevertheless is a very nice rim....

I like the ones I got....

I was going to do the Volks but too pricey. These are Foose Speedsters.
