Everyone please post pictures of their car with aftermarket rims.

 

that would be nice

It's been tried twice already but maybe it will work now

 

Here is my 8 with the 17" winter wheels and tires.
CR Racing 17's and Nokian WR 225/45/R17 tires.

 

Another shot:

 

What I have done with my original 18" rims in the meantime.
Now waiting for warmer weather to put them on again..

 

I like your 17 inch rims

 

Wow carzoomer! That rim looks really really nice. May I know what painting method did you use on your rims. They looks almost like anodized!

cheers

 

Stripped of the old powdercoat, polished, then new transparent epoxy powder coat that has a transparent colour.

See my thread at:

Thanks Mike.

They were inexpensive, and work well for me.
Cost was $130 Canadian per wheel ( about $99 US)

The Nokian tires grip really well on ice.

 

Cheers mate, now I'll have to check out if we've catch-up with this new epoxy powder coating technic.

 

Here is my winter wheel/tire combo. The wheel is the Mille Miglia HT3 (17"), carbon grey. The tire is the LM22 Blizzack from Bridgestone. I also got the TPM sensors.:D

 

I cant find where to host my pics, but to let everyone know i changed my rims the second day to enkei 18" rpo7 rims, they look sweet, someone pm me with a site that hosts thanks

How much would it cost to chrome the stock 18's ?

 

I am sure that you are really looking for stock size or larger performance wheels, but I will follow the trend . . . here is the 8 with the winters, being Toyo Garits on 17" ADR GT-Sports:

 

Here's my refinished wheels on my 8.

 

Here are mY Wheels

 

Wheel Specs:

Make: ADR M-Sports
Size: 19" Stagerd 8.5 in the front & 9.5 in the back
Tire: 245/35/19 in the front & 275/30/19 in the back

It rides great.........

 

A ignorance question for RX8on19s:
Why did you run /30/ in the back? Is it because 275/ doesn't come with /35/ (which is similar to your front)? Does this means your rear is seating slightly lower than the front.

Cheers

 

RX8on19s those are definitely the wheels I would choose. That looks freakin' sweet dude!

 

No idea.
I would not do it. Here is why:
Chrome adds heavy metal. Adds about 2 lbs per wheel.
Chrome can not be fixed or refinished if damaged

 

#3 It looks UGLY!!!

 

DAAAAAAAMMNNNN!! (Chris Tucker voice)...RX8on19s those kick ***.!!! good pick!!...I like!!!

 

In some cases, perhaps.

I know on a big-*** 4x4 pickup it can look pretty cool on those 20" rims and knobby tires.

On an RX-8 it is a matter of personal taste.

I just do not like chrome on something that is easily scraped up or nicked. Once the chrome is blemished you are basically out of options.

Besides, on an 8 about the only bright chrome items are the badges, so it kind of looks out of place, at least to my eye.

But what do i know?
Aesthetics is in the eye of the beholder.
