Good thing I got rid of the MS wing back then. I do want to see how that rx8 looks like haha

Sorry buddy but that doesn't meet the requirements of this thread. I love those wheels, they are legit but the setup just doesn't work.

I thought 9" or wider? and my offset is low enough anyway? haha..

the way they sit is more agressive than my previous Veilside 18x9 +22 18x10 +22

More pics when they actually fit. rear sticks out like crazy.. haha. this weekend hopefully will get 225/40s and cambered.

my wing is a cf replica (originally for mazda 6 rx8 style mazdaspeed wing haha). Otherwise, you can buy a spacer for them from www.carboninmotion.com

seems like they dont sell it anymore. I bought it from a local seller here in Perth. He used to import bodykit parts back in the days

fitment is ok,but as you can see I do not have the wing base unlike genuine ones. but prefer this way though. tougher lol

.... no

are you?

originally from Indonesia. wait until this weekend with better tyres and some camber. According to my calculation if I can get 225/40s along with some camber, it should fit like tiltmode43's car
