Beautiful car, man!

 

Best car and nice set of wheels to go with it!

Looks great i can't wait to my 8 back, had to up it up for the winter. All this pics are making me want it even more

 

clean and nice look~

 

Lovely Wheels!!!

Looks Good!!!!!

Sick ride man

 

Sweet advans +1
You sir have been deemed a man with good taste.

 

Thanx guys. I think it was a good choice too. :D

Downshift8, exactly what I was thinking.

 

Freakin awesome...lowe the Advan's....they suite perfect on your black RX-8

 

Love gold wheels on a BB. Looks great!


2 things jumped out at me, though. The blue valve caps - yes, I'm that ****.

The clear corners . . . not really sure why, but they just stick out against the gold. Dare I say the stock amber may look better???


I actually think the best bet would be to black them out.

Liking the whole set up though!

 

what kind of suspension is that?

 

A bit of a older thread but I too am curious how you're having rubbing issues with 18x9...? Is it lowered? If so, how much? just curious because I'm actually planning (at some point) to get Advan RS gold, 18x9 with 255 tires, but if there is rubbing issues..I dunno.. :/

 

There is no such issues with 18x9 with 255..
Hell, some have gone x10 in the rear. It just depends on some variables like offset, camber & Tire size.

 

Really? Hmm...I'll have to consult you then when I'm ready to grab my rims and tires. :P Thanks for that. Just don't want something I'll have to return or something.. :/

 

^ There's also a stickied 'will it fit' thread in the wheel & tire section.

 

that gold on black i sooo sweet nice combo dude!

 

ADVANS!!! Hope to get mine in a few months.

Quick question. Do I see fender vents?

 

I still have a slight rubbing issue after I rolled the rear fenders.
I have tein flex. Have about 1 inch wheel gap. Running -2.2 camber in the rears and still rubs slightly under big dips.

If you run a 255/35/18, Im guessing you should be fine.
If you run 255/40/18, you will probably rub.
Im running 265/35/18 right now.

I also run 255/40/17s for tracks/autox. and i get a slight rub when theres ton of race gear in the car and going thru a big dip.

Yeah, I got some real CF fender vents a while back... you can spot that on such tiny pics? :P

 

Gotcha. Thanks for that. How well do the 18x9's stick out? Just right? Stocks don't stick out too well..I'm not a big fan of fenders going out and over the wheels.
