Wow, is it National Hater Day?

For those of you more than a few minutes old, polished solid disc is a classic automotive design. If you can find some way to direct cooling air to the brakes, I think it would look great. As long as you don't try to fit tractor tires like the dude in the photo.

BTW, if you do it, reconsider the part about painting them black. The hover you like so much is a function of the reflection, I think.

^It is a classic automotive design, you are right, and that is what it should be, a classic. Right now, the RX-8 is not a "classic" so it should not have wheels like that.

If you honestly like those, I have a lot more respect for the girl who did the stars and rotars paint job on her 8.

OK, here's a comment. But why a lockdown. Everyone has been voicing opinion. While some have gone further than I would, the comments haven't got too personal.
