yeap, still have the 8. as far as it looking good, that's a no. the car has been thru hell and barely made it back. may look good on the interwebz, but in person it's a bit rough.

On another note, what do you guys think of these wheels? Works 11r or xd9 in 18x9.5 ET20 in either neon lime green or neon teal blue on a WWP?? I'm trying to stick out (: goal: get on tilt's & munchy's level
i gotta remember to get out and take a pic next time i leave the driveway

p.s. neon green ftw.

The same people posting makes no difference as long as they are always posting new wheel setups. Worked for me long enough, haha.

This is exactly what I was going for - something a bit more subtle but still on the louder side of the spectrum. In light, these end up brighter than expected but I am happy so far!







Lulz, someone should make an aggressive driveway thread

Munchy- Your RX-8 is clean as can be.

Tilt- Fitment is always perfect.

Keep'em coming guys! I guess 265's would be my best bet for fitment while still maintaining a bit of traction (cause I need lots of it lol).

Finally removed the bumper tab lol.





Those last 2 pictures are basically straight off the camera with 2% effort put into making them look good. Canon S95 ftw

Specs: 18x9.5 +28f/+23r with 245/40 Nitto Invo on JIC FLTA2 coilovers -2.2ish camber all around

Sifu - Best bumper evaaaaarrrrr!! Nice to see you had the sides integrated - I'm guessing without the bulbs? I could be wrong.

My aero isn't 100% ready to go on, so this was just a test fit of the sides to see how clearance will be. Also a shot from earlier.

Thanks guys! The Works I have on right now need some good polishing. As for more pictures...that is being arranged

Tilt- your are right! No bulbs in place. Modded the clears a bit to get them on without messing with the bumper too much. Your car is looking great homie!

Thanks man!

I would've boosted about 3 times now...but have bigger plans for the 8. That's the only reason why I got to work on the Vertex and a custom made diffuser by the end of the summer. You better make it next week!
