Thumbs up 8 with 20's at Pettit

While I was at Pettit's shop last week, I took a few shots of this beauty. Pettit's next door neighbor is a distributor for Carlson wheels, who also makes this brand - Avus. I believe these are 20x8.5" front and 20x10" rear. They're a 3 piece, forged aluminum wheel. I believe he said the rear's weigh around 26 pounds each, which is pretty light for a 20.

For all the fitment details and pricing, contact Tyler at Pettit a call, (561) 844-2258. Tell him you saw it here, and that Ryan Scott sent you, he'll give you a deal if interested.

Nice rims, but im more interested in the MS side mirrors that are on. I thought the MS mirrors were able to be put on a N.A. spec Rx8?

I was wondering, cant you just switch out the mirrors.. put the right mirror on the left and vice versa?

Sorry for jacking your thread.

8.5" up front seems kinda small...

Looks good however. Any side shots further back? You can't really gauge the look of the car from those pics.

What performance???

Yeah we know its got a s/charge kit, but what figures is it pumping out?
Hard to be impressed if we've got nothing to be impressed by.

I was looking for general comments regarding the kit after driving it.. if he did.. I'll bet he's waiting for the next RX Tuner to come out before revealing all his findings..

but who knows..

Everything looks nice to me except the clear corner that is popping out.

Sweet ride.

Ps. Man I would hate to keep that car clean - black with a lot of chrome including wheel with a lot of spokes.
