Pics w/ new wheels and suspension

Finally received my 19" Axis Hiros. The tire sizes/offsets and suspension parts info are in my signature.
My car is very similiar to cortc's car except for the tint/ front bumper/ no spoiler/ and different b pillar cover. I plan to get the MS spoiler next.

That has to be one of the best looking 8's I have seen. The wheels work really well with the exterior color and the body kit kicks ***!

wow those rims really fit well with the car. the gun metal matches with the two tone ms speed trim and the chrome tip matches well with the fender strakes and clear corners.

Does wheelstudio do a good job in terms of customer service? I just wonder because I want to make sure I get the right offset, etc. I know cortc said that the tpms fit - did you have the same luck? Also - does wheelstudio send the stuff ready to mount and can they get the TPMS. I have only been able to get to a vmail out there so far...

Yeah yeah - lots of questions....

BTW - looks HOT

Very nice. do you plan to put a wing on? I personally don't care for them too much. The tpms fits right on these rims.

Love your RX-8 bro'. I thought you lived in Houston because of the background, but I guess all the houses in Texas look the same.

Definitely one of the nicer cars, very classy .... I would probably get the lip spoiler instead to keep the sleek look.

I like how it looks without a spoiler also. I may just leave it as it is.
Cost for the wheel/tire combo was $2,300 total.
wheelstudio.com customer service was good. They did get all the offset/ tire sizes correct. I triple checked with them before they shipped them off.
They mounted the tires and also balanced them afterwards.
I will be going to NTB soon to get the TPMS removed from the stock wheels and installed on the Axis Hiros. Also getting an alignment done.
