Hey guys! Im new here, and Im just gonna be on here every now and then cuz im on here for my friend, an RX8 owner. he is not a computer guy, so I will just do the research for him

He has an 06, black RX8. He wants some deep dish rims that are black with a chrome lip. I dont know how many spokes he wants to do, but he wants deep dish and black with chrome lip. What are his options? im thinking either a 18" or 19" rim would be good for him. So can anyone post pictures and or links to some rims that would be good for him?

Also can you let me know what your guys lug pattern, offset and backspacing needs to be.

Thanks a lot guy!

 

your friend can not decide for himself...?

 

Ok ill try searching for that.

Can you guys tell me what your lug pattern, backspacing, and offset need to be? And If we go with a 9.5" rim on the back can he use like a 265 tire? Cuz that would be nice

 

as i stated in one of my first sentences, he is not a computer guy. He doesnt want to spend the time to get on forums and research ****. I myself am a forum junkie and I love researching this stuff. He knows what he wants, im just trying to find it for him. Im a good friend.

 

Your truck makes me laugh!!!

 

Nice job on the truck, looks like someone put quite a bit of wrench time into it.


Here is a picture of Kwescott's car::








Here is NgoRX8's car:








Here is FE3P's car





All 3 of them are sporting some Volk rims, just don't remember who has which models. Hope this helps...

 

thanks Jedi54!!! those are som niiiiice rims. And I got a lot of hours of working on my truck......ive done just about everything on it .

and thanks MissyK for the bolt pattern

painter1: screw yourelf, stay on topic please. help out or stay out

 

i like your attitude.... enjoy your stay....

 

ooo I <3 minitrucks....

...I have a 92 toyota pickup extended cab fully shaved...its perty (technically its my bf's right now, it'll be mine in another 2 weeks)...

...ok...back on topic

 

kwescott:
Volk Racing GT-7 19 inch: i dont know width or offset

NgoRx8:
Volk Racing SF-Challenges 19 inch: 8.5 width front 9.5 width rear, i don't know offsets

FE3P:
Volk Racing GT-S 19 inch: 8.5 font +34, 9.5 rear +37

Alot of guys here are running the 8.5s and 9.5s with an offset somewhere between 35 to 45. they also run a 245/35/19 front with a 275/30/19 rear. I'm not a big fan of this setup because the front tire is technically taller than the rear but its by like 2mm so its not really noticeable, you could run a 235/35 front tire instead of the 245 and it will work fine on the 8.5 rim

I don't know how deep dish your friend is looking for but since the rx8 has such a high offset OEM wheel its kinda hard to get a nice sized lip. FE3P's wheels have a 94mm rear lip=3.7 inches and a 75mm front lip=3.0 inches

Also, how much is your friend looking to spend? I mean, most Volk Wheel sets are going to run you at LEAST $2000 but most likely $2500

18, 19, and 20 inch will work fine as referring to the overall diameter and widths from 7.5 to 10 will work. The rear tire on our cars should be a 275 at most but some guys have run a 285. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3

Also, if your friend wants Volks, you can go to www.rayswheels.co.jp and look at all their lines. The lower left corner has a link that says ENGLISH which makes the page into english rather than japanese. Every wheel on that site also shows all available bolt patterns, diameters, widths and offsets. Also, all RAYS wheels are available in custom colors so you can order them black if its not shown on their website. Mackin Industries is the US Distributor for RAYS wheels so you can go through them or you can also private message lazi from J-OnDemand parts. He can beat almost anyone's prices on Japanese parts.

is that sarcastic? or are you guys for real?

ac2mastuh: thanks a lot. thats exactly the stuff i needed to know.

 

im kinda in the same boat as you. im thinkin like this but not the same spoke style:

 

np man, always happy to help

 

what kind of front bumper does NgoRX8 have on his black rx. i am very interested in getting one of these. looks great.

 

Ngo has autobahn. There's a group buy out there right now for replicas of his kit. He's one of the few on this board with an Original. (veyr expensive, hard to get from Japan)

 

hey, what kind of rims are those? im xtuckin22 friend looking for deep dish rims.
