just got my rx8! changed the puny stock rims to this, any comments?

 

Any pics from further away?

Tough to get a sense of how they look on the car so close.....but I like the clean look of them.

 

yup! here they are, think i needa change lotsa stuff though...

 

You didn't say what size those were... I'm assuming you went larger because the stock rims are puny?

Don't take offense, but I like the stock look better. The wheels look to "mechanical"... which I feel doesn't jive with the otherwise flowing design of the car body. It's probably all the rivets and too many spokes.

 

need to drop that like its hot!..

 

haha, no worries dude no offense taken originals were 16" these are 18"

 

looks good mate

 

Nice! but it needs a drop.

 

yup, needa change the shocks! gonna cost lots!

 

looks good! what kind of wheels?

 

You got the machined ones which were the ones I actually wanted. I settled for the chrome versions because the machined ones weren't going to be available for months. This was in July of last year. I think they look great and distinctive; not just another 5 spoke wheel that looks like a million other 5 spoke add-on wheels.

Too bad you fell for "clear" corners...I think the stock orange ones look rather good on the red, and that would also make your car distinctive compared to all the other modded ones that have clear corners.

Dropping it a little bit would help it visually but so far it looks good as-is.

 

rims are called "real modification" running with Yokohama AVS ES100 245/45R18 tyres...anyone knows if they have a website ?
