Nice, are those Volks? My buddy was just telling me about these over the weekend.

Where did you get the transformer though? I need one.

XDEEDUBBX

No, those are not volks, not even close.

ROCKSTAR RX8

Ya don't think they are VOLKs... why is it that the RR Tires look kinda thick?? they are 40s?

twisted8

thanks!
no, they are not volks, I had volks on my old car and they are nice wheels but I rather spend that kind of money on my house. These are SportMax 006. Really good price.
The transformer i got on ebay for about $60, they seem to be going up in price. Worth the price tho, it's very detailed and complicated to transform.

twisted8

yeah they are 40's.

kimberly lynn

CoMBo8

well i have to say i am either glad i didnt get the volk time attacks rims or that is just too much red lip for me. looks like the sport max are a knock-off or the volk SF winning.



OK BACK TO ORGINALLY TOPIC.
I have to say there is no 8 out there that i have seen with that much red lip.

iTrader: (1)

that's cuz... the ENTIRE lip is red. volk time attacks only have the edge red.

lots of red there

nSanity

Hmmz, not sure, but as long as you're happy eh

dmc27

looks fawkin hawt!!!

love it.

next time put some damn wheel shine on that rubber - then take pics!


edit: tint that piece!

Cody Red

with the money he saved on not getting volks, maybe a drop will help?

VASasha

iTrader: (5)

I think that would make it just carbon w/o the fiber.

twisted8

What can i say, i like red! guess it's a love/hate thing. They look better in person.
Drop is next on the list!

JCoup3

ummm don't think it's too great, but to each their own.

Drop that crap and tint it ASAP

lesper4

tint will deffinitly help with those black rims!

What offset? The rears look way out. Still dig it though. Thought about the same setup myself.

dingrao

Nice way of saying it....jackass.

Twisted, if you're happy with your car mate, then that is what counts.

VASasha

Drop, tint, and clear corners (surprised nobody said it yet) or instead of going clear, black or red them out.

Just noticed that Lesper's are red. Looks good. Perfect match to the color of the car.

twisted8

thanks! glad someone likes them!


It's +35. If you don't want them to stick out too much 8.5 all around would be a better choice.


thanks, i am happy with it!


thanks good call on the conrners. I'll have to do that!

REV_ME_62

I was gonna actually get those wheels. I was a little skeptical how it was gonna look. I must say its beautiful, who cares whatever anyone says as long as you like it. But surely will look much better if dropped a bit. Thumbs up!

saw these exact same rims and color on a red mustang today at lunch, yes a love hate i guess, just too much red lip for me. can you take a close up of the lip, does it have a powder coat look or matalic look?

Razz1

Ja, I agree the proportions are not right. Tires stick out too far, Too much red and car sits too high for it's flashyness.


But it's nice to see we are all differant, and it's not stock!
