Ugh I have o.c.d.!

i just realized, that all rx8 rims (the ones that come with it stock) are all the same. there is no left and right side. with any other set of rims it would be fine, but am i wrong or am i right, that they all chop in the same direction?!?!?!?!?!

i don't think thaqt any rim has a left and a right as far as i know but who knows....I don't think so they can go anywhere on the car unless you have direction tires then the TIRES can only go on one way...so you could not switch the rims side to side but that is because the tires not the rims

Yes. They're all the same. And the pitch of the spokes is left handed, which means that the car will tend to drift to the right at speed.

on other rims, like ones that have the spokes more slanty, the fact that both sides different would **** me off... it bothers me that my numbers for autox dont go the same places on the door on each side... so one side is BS85, and the other is 85BS. so the bs is always under the handle. but i dont ride stock except for R comps, and i can ignore it for then. but yea symmetry would be nice.

The stock RX-7 TII rims are opposite sided. Drove me crazy when I bought it and they were swapped one on each side., so I'd have to swap em.

You can test for ocd yourself.

Just look at a photo of rx8. If all you see is an orange reflector floating in midair, then you have ocd.

You can also treat ocd yourself. Just snap out of your reverie, and take a break from rx8clubbing. Regain your center, get youself back to neutral, then come back stronger.

uh......what? Rims on most typical vehicles are not designated to a side, all 4 are identical. There are a few vehicles with exceptions, but not the RX8. All are the same.
