Grace, were they cheaper from Japan? This isn't a JDM part really, so not sure why you brought so many back lol. I am jealous you've been though, it's on a long list of "Must Visit!"s for me.

FWIW, if anyone needs 5mm hubcentric spacers feel free to hit me up as I can get them cheap. Down to help get more RX8's stanced properly

White TE's are indeed fun!

edit: I might hold a GB for 5mm hubcentric spacers - anyone here interested?

I don't remember why I bought them, I got them for like 500 Yen which is about $4 five years ago at a junk yard. Besides junk yards, the best places to buy USED wheels were AutoBacs and Up Garage, oh and Yahoo! Japan Auctions. I'm sure you've heard of those, 'WhiteKni8ht' and R(ed)R(ound)R(acing) in Gardena, CA used Up Garage as their supplier for parts. I wonder what happened to them

I like the 330i's exterior styling, but I would prefer the 335i's turbo charged engine...

to TILTMODE43 & WHEELFLIP.COM Thanks for the referral Tilt. I've been in contact with Alex Zhao @ WheelFlip for some 3 piece lips. Awesome service, prices, and explained the options available and all that, VERY helpful. Looking to do business with them within a week.

Of course Mike, barrels are looking to be 19x10 +18, centers are going to be re-done in metallic gold, silver, black, or mac blue (like my blue carbon fiber). One thing that's great about 09s is not having to deal with the side markers

No problem guys!

As an ex-RX8 owner, Alex has a soft spot for 'em, so he'll be sure to hook you up. He's a long time friend who knows his stuff, so I don't hesitate to reference Alex & Wheelflip to other RX8 owners as I know he will take that extra step to set them up right. You guys should post up media threads when you get your wheels back
