I dont have any pic yet but I was wondering the what Black Chrome Wheels would look like on my Vel Red 8. I was thinking about using my stock 8 wheels and getting them upgraded to the Black Chrome.Need advise from the "Mod Gods" than own only the best looking cars on the road.... :rolleyes

 

Are you talking about the dark chrome wheels from Mazda?

 

I have the OEM dark chrome wheels on my V-RED RX8

 

Have you considered regular chrome? I just bought some for my VR and they look hot! I'd post pics but the car is still in the shop.

 

I'd like to see some comparo pics between dark chrome and chrome

 

I should have some over the weekend.

 

he may mean black chrome as in a the highly glossy black that is sometimes chrome that has been painted and highly polished...like Cortc's HRE rims and many others...I would recommend only the face be the high gloss black and not the lip...have a polished or chromed lip for a hot look

I would love to have that look on my car as it is Sunsilver...but after getting flawless set of stock rims and added the Rotary center caps I'm very happy with the look and so I also saved over a grand

 

i've got a VR on regular (light) chrome, i'll post pix hopefully tomorrow

 

Jason -

I glad you like those center caps that I sent you - now let's see some pics.

 

Its good to see that there are people out there that take such pride in thier cars.Here are the pic of the rims I plan to "convert" the 8 rim to.

 

Hello ladies and gents.I do apologise for the mishaps of posting a pic.
Here are the pic of the rims i hope they work.

 

Here are the pics of the rim I plan to convert the 8 rim into.Hope they work.
I finally got the pic posting done...The original pic was to big..Need opinions on the rims...be brutaly honest....

 

Hey GregI'll give the car a good wash and take pics over the weekend :D

 

I personally am not a fan. I looked at tons of pics of dark vs. light when it comes to rims on the VR and I thought dark rims in general took away from the "flashiness" of the red. It's a hot-looking color on it's own and I think any mods should only add to it rather than take it away. That's the main reason why I went with "light" chrome. But as they say, to each his own. My heaven may be your hell.

 

dazygirl,

What wheels do you have on your car?

 

Chrome 18" ADR Levison

Those are them.....

 

As promised....

you know your rims would truly be complete with Rotary Center Caps

 

hmmmm, something else to buy.... :D

not to mention my car would truly be complete with a Mazdaspeed bodykit!

 

Did you get those off ebay?

 

Sure did:
http://stores.ebay.com/OEMRIMS-INC

These are the stock OEM rims that have gone through the chrome triple plate process. They are beautiful and the company is a pleasure to do business with. It was certainly the cheapest way for me to get "new" rims. 1 year warranty on the chrome plating.

The only thing that sucked was paying for the shipping....

 

how much was shipping?

 

about $180 total both ways (CA all the way to VA)

so $550 + $180 = $730, and you use your own rubber since it's a direct swap... then you ship the wheels back in the same boxes w/the prepaid shipping labels since you pay for both ways up front
