okay guys so now that the weather is nice i am looking at buying some new wheels, and am looking for some opinions on what everyone thinks would be best because right now i am up in the air.

the first pic is of my car and my current wheels...

one option is to powdercoat my current wheels piano black

or i am also looking at a few other options

tork matrix (1st pic)

Tenzo R DC-6 (2nd pic)

Ruff Racing R278 (3rd pic)

let me know what you guys would do or some other wheels that i havent seen yet.

thanks,
Brett

 

I really like the third picture (DC-6), the lines are the cleanest on those wheels.

I see you have 17" now, why? They look really small, a new set of 18" wheels would look great. Nice looking 8 -=)

PS -- Buy nothing that has "ruff" in the name plz.

 

^^^ the 17" were my winter wheels. so that is the main reason for those they were cheap and looked decent. but i am looking at atleast 18"s if not 19"s.

if you dont mind me asking why not the ruff's?

 

The last two will look good, I'm not a big fan of the first picture.

 

I like the tenzo's

 

i think the tenzo's are my favorite so far im just looking for some other opinions on these wheels. also if anyone is any good at photoshop that would be much appreciated as well!!

 

tenzo

 

this is a really quick chop, but here you go.



looks really pimp.

 

^^^thanks kersh that helps, i like the way they look

 

I think it needs more spokes...
or wider spokes?
but id say tenzos

 

found a new wheel that i like a lot. i love how HUGE the lip is but i dunno what the name of them is...i saved the pic a while back and the name i have them saved as is Advan 5's but i cant find them online anywhere. does anyone know who's car this is or where i can research these wheels or some that look similar?

thanks,
Brett

 

^^^if anyone wanted to know they are Axis Crux. i think that is what im gonna go with. BTW

 

I like them where did u find them online?

 

Perks, I think you should re-consider. I think the Ruff Racing wheels would go well with your 8. Then again, it's your car.

 

are those 20"?!!!

 

20s fit on this car no problem. it looks way better, actually fills out the fenders. unfortunately they are sooo heavy.

 

Yea i think those are 20"s im not sure who's car it is i found them on here a while ago and saved the picture to my computer. it actually looks like the rear tires are stretched as well, maybe thats just the way it looks to me. i think the best place i have found online so far for them has been wheelsnext.com i have the links saved on my laptop but i am at work so if you would like exact links i can provide them later.

what color should i get the silver with the chrome lip, or glossy black with the chrome lip?

im kinda leaning towards the silver with the chrome because nowdays when you see a red car almost all of them have black wheels now

 

don't look like the axis crux that i looked at

 

ill post the exact links later tonight for you milo. 17" wheels were like $240 and 18"s were $250. but as i said ill post the links later tonight for ya

 

thanks

the last site just has the specs for the wheels...hope this helps, i think the black with chrome lip is only available on the 19" wheels as well

im buyin mine later this week

 

I have buddy club rims with a lip the problem with lips is that they bend a lot of times when you hit a pothole. I'm going to get a new set soon and I'm looking at getting the Rota Boost rims. You should check those out.

 

^^^will deff check them out thanks for the info

 

that rx8 needs a makeover!!....a big fail!!!.....fix you kit and rims...

 

I think I might know what it is... I personally like the look of odd # spokes (at least when there arent a whole lot so it's noticeable). Some reason it just doesn't look right to me. So if there's a similar look with 7 spokes I'd say definitely that. If not, the tenzo still looks best.
