09's and up painted stock wheels?
 

anyone paint there stock rims on a series II yet? if so can yall post some pics, i would really like to see how it came out. thanks.

Jbk did his 40th anniversary wheels(same as 09+ non R3) in gold, he got them powdercoated. I think they look decent, would look really good in black or powdercoat. Here is a pic he posted in his other thread.

I have seen them done in black somewhere here.

those gold ones look pretty sick.
i wana see them in black though.

Yeah I want to see black and gunmetal, I think both would look really good. I've debated doing mine in gunmetal if they can even do that but can't pull the trigger at the current time.

I just had my wheels powder coated this past weekend :) I'm not 100% sure that I really like the color now lol....I'll give it a few days, but I might have them redone more of a charcoal/black color.....

I really like the color just maybe not for a vr

My thoughts exactly...It's a pearlescent gunmetal color and it looks gorgeous...I'm just not sure that it works well in my case...*sigh*

i like that, but yeah a little more black would look sick. How much you get this done for?

I had them done for $70 a corner (and that's clear coated too). Also....I had some curb rash where I lightly grazed the curb a few months back on one wheel, so this was fixed and looks brand new! Here's one more pic that I just took....

^ wow. If i find a place locally that'll do mine black w/ cc for that kinda price i'm set.

damn, thats a really good price!! I dont know of a place to get mine done at.

Couldn't you have just told the dealer you wanted the wheels is Grey when you bought it?

If anyone happens to live in/around the Jacksonville, NC area and wants something powder coated, send me a PM and I'll give you the contact info for the dude that did mine....great work!

Hi Farside792
Just curious about what suspension are you using on your car? or what spring?

I'm just using the stock struts and Megan Racing springs. I really like the drop, and I've had no problems at all with them :)

Farside, I love the wheels! I think I will do something similar on mine if I can't find a place in the Tampa, FL area to do it for a similar price. I think the gunmetal color would look amazing on my gray RX-8.

Well....if there is anyone in the Jacksonville, NC area....that has 09+ wheels (in great condition) and would like to purchase these wheels off me for a nominal price (oh, say ~$200 + factory '09 wheels) let me know :)

I think they would look excellent on silver '8! :)

How's the springs perform on the track/sports driving?

I looked up their website and they didnt say its for s2...its just for Mazda RX8 03+
So there are not problems at all???

I wish you lived closer!

No problems at all! I've put ~1500 miles on them so far and they are doing just fine. I'd highly recommend them! They went on with no problems and I love the drop :icon_tup:

Maybe you should take a trip to NC.... :yesnod:

This is my 09 Rx-8 GT with Stock Wheels painted in black

still though, not sure if i could make that as a broad recommendation if they are designed for the S1 and not the S2. They may happen to fit and ride just fine, but how is it when doing more than daily driving?
