If I ever pull up beside you at a traffic light. I will yell "WHAT THE F*CK HAVE YOU DONE!!!!" and flip you off.
but dont worry...im on a island in the Pacific ocean...somebody else will do this im sure.
Edit: Oh, and they are called "wheels" my friend. not "rims" the cavemen invented them...

i have no time for ignorant people.This thread isn't titled do you like these rims. I simply had a fitment question which ross was nice enough to answer. I have repetedly said the rims weren't the greatest.I have np with you not liking them but come on this post is bs. I paid 500 for them and no ross i didn't buy them for the tires was just saying i liked the rims and the tires were in great shape.I'm done with this post. I've been on these boards for quite some time never bash people or even post for that matter just read and learn. but after this mess i will definately not be posting here again.

It's just silly internet talk, don't take it too personally. Really, it's no biggie!

Did you upgrade your brakes to go with those? Are you lowered at all? I'm just curious how a torqueless wonder like the Rx8 handles having an extra 30-40 pounds (or more?) over stock on each corner, I guess if cruising is your thing then it's no big whoop, sure would drive me nuts after a while though.
To the guy who started the thread, grow a pair already, it's the internet, people will say anything they want no matter how obnoxious as there is no consequence. Just ignnore it and ignore them, or take a break from the forum for a while and come back after a while, forums are full of jackasses, some people make a whole life out of being a troll and pushing people's buttons, why give them the satisfaction of knowing they ran you off? f that.

canary,
I actually have the motegi mr107's. less than 5 pound difference in each corner. car accelrates very close to stock wheel but very much improved on handling. check the you tube video rx7 chasing rx8. I have done that run a couple times and I keep up fine with the 20's on. I do worry about damaging them by potholes more. so i AM THINKING OF GETTING ANOTHER SET FOR THOSE HARD DRIVING DAYS. but I think have accomplished the best of both world with these wheels. style and go.

thats the whole point. every one has different taste and style that they like. and to your point my wheels are 25 pounds a piece without tires. I thought the rx8 wheels where 20 w/tires, so according to your numbers i only have a three pound difference in each corner. also remember bigger wheels affect acceleration negative and top speed positive. and I am running wider and better tires. they dont even brake loose in the rain.

It's a Cavalier
The point is, those 20's look like ***, and they have no place being on an RX8.
All we the OP to do is cut the springs.
