I've been meaning to post some of these pics for ages but never got around to it.
Yesterday I went on a road trip to a national park called Anahuac, which is basically a swamp land with a ton of birds, alligators and all kinds of Texan critters... so naturally I had to get some car pics along with the local wildlife.






These pics are from the UH photoshoot I did with fellow board member Woz, featuring my "new" gold calipers:




And finally, here's a pic of my Decepticon steering wheel cover:


Let me know what y'all think!

 

Nice sunset pics... Where is the alligator?

 

Nice pics!

 

Hey those are really sweet rims, what kind are they?

Nice pics too

 

those rims are the OEM 16". I like the style of them--kind of wish they were 18"

 

They are called alligator rims. They are only put on by alligators.

 

Those rims are only available on the base automatic. If you buy an automatic with Sports Package or higher you cannot get those rims. But the down side to having a base automatic is that it doesn't handle the way a base manual does, has smaller brakes, and no traction control. Upside is obviously the price, and the fact that it obviously weighs less with those rims than the other automatics, so it's the fastest automatic RX-8 available.

I have mixed feelings about those rims though.

 

I have the OEM 16s on my 8 also. Some days I wish they were 18" it just depends on my mood. Anyone know if there is something close to the same design, non chrome? Go Coogs!
