My yellow 8 dropped with ssr competions

Just got me new rims mounted today. All I could say is the car is a lot more nimble and felt like the car lost a good amount of weight. I'm thinking about getting the ms kit or the ings kit next not sure still debating on whether I should keep the look as is. Let me know about your opinions. O yea sorry for the drive way pics didn't feel like going on the mountains or finding a bridge . Enjoy

Well, for what it's worth, yours might be about the first yellow I've seen and not wanted to reach for a bucket...

it looks very sharp.

i personally like the ms kit, but I'm planning on waiting a year or two before I get a kit. I figure that way the rx8 kit scene will mature by then, with more choices, and allow me to change the look of my car when I will likely start to get bored with it.

IZoomZoomI....... thats a VERY nice looking 8 you got there. It looks very clean and simple. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get the set of wheels for? Or maybe a link to where you bought them with their price? Either way........ beautiful 8 :D

Great job. Those wheels look fantastic with the yellow.

BTW, I really can't tell but do the wheels stick out a bit more than the stock wheels?

I generally don't like yellow but, you have done wonders with the rims and springs.

I started off wanting 19's but for practicality reasons decided not to. It's all relative and subjective I guess but the these won me over b/c they're light unlike most 19s. I'm not trying to slow the car down when it needs every lil hp on the wheels. I've seen 19's they look real nice but i'll stick with my 18's.

The rims do stick out further but not much. O yea xnthax I won't be able to make that meet sorry. I'll see you at the next one

Very nice! I believe those wheels weigh about 15 lbs each, the stock ones are 20 lbs so you shaved off an extra 20 lbs. How do you like the Falken tires compared to the stock Dunops?

Hate to be technical, from what I read its a lil above 16lbs. Haven't had much time to test them out. From the drive so far the road noise is about the same. Keep in mind these are 40 series. There's a pretty good write-up in the wheels topics area about these tires.

Looks nice. Just like Pur Nrg's car who also happens to be yellow with the same rims.

Looking good bro. Can you feel any difference from the weight loss? Have you got your zoomer unit back yet?

Yeah but mine makes Pepe reach for a bucket. :p

I think SSR Comps are going to be a popular choice regardless of car color. I expect to see a lot more down the road.

Sorry dude , was in cali for vacation , got some info from there about "raceonusa.com " too , I thought they had reasonable prices for stuff , and I went to check out their FRP kit , it's the same one as AAS , the sides were crappy and bumps everywhere , so anyone around on this forum , don't buy kits from raceon or AAS , I think I am just going get the aeroworks bumper till my real MS kit comes and then sell it , zoom zoom , you want dibs on the aerowerks front bumper once I get the real one ?
