Just noticed you got the S2 spoiler on an S1 rx8. Anyway, nice wheels and very clean.

Nice look Cornholio, best looking budget wheels IMO. I always though these would look good on an 8, your pics confirm it. Don't they make these in 9.5 wide as well?

Looks good bro, they fit nicely. I'm glad hector hooked you up with good price on Rubber. We will have to do a shoot soon to show these off properly
