Blue 8 w/ G-Game's 99B by Rays Wheels
I finally got the MS Kit installed so now after a few months of waiting, here are some quick pics i took today. After i get the wing on i plan on getting some professional pics done.
Thanks for all the comments in the other thread, and i'm sorry it took so long.

These last 2 pics are from the night before. You can see how much different the rims look at night, versus the day. They go from a bright silver to an almost gun metal shade.
BTW, the rims are actually the Brushed Silver Finish.

They seem to be a dead on color match to the bottom portions of the MS kit.

I got them from discount tire. They're the only authorized dealer for the G-Games line in the US (at that time at least). I PM'd you the price.

Those are some nice wheels. I'm about to purchase the same ones because those do look sweet on the winning blue rx8. Well, i'm wondering if the TMPS is compatible on these wheels. Also, can you PM me the price cause i would like to know how much i'm gonna spend on this. Haha, thanks bro.

EDIT: Nevermind, found out the answer to if the TMPS fits with it. But i would still like the price you spent on it. Thanks! And i love these rims!

The kit looks great.
I notice your old pic shows you had the side aero flares. Do you still have them? Are you planning on selling them. If so, I'm interested...

Not to mention that they are relatively light, well at least it was Big O's impression.
Beautifully done! You realize you've just started a craze with these wheels, right!

Q1 - When you get your tires rotated, you know how the tires in the back are larger, how does the tire rotations happen when itll be larger in the front than the back?
A1 - They rotate the tires left to right, like swap out the back right for back left, and same for the front. Since they are directional tires (tread points in one direction), they have to dismount the tires from the wheels, and put them on the other side.
Q2 - Also, do larger tires do anyything with performance (i.e. lowers or highers performance)?
A2 - Wider tires increase performance signifcantly. Larger wheels decrease the performance slightly.
Q3 - Lastly, if i get the gunmetal wheels, do you know if the lug nuts are gonna be gunmetal too?
A3 - The wheels do not come with lugs/locks, so i had to buy a set seperate from the wheels. The ones i bought were silver as thats what i wanted, but i'm sure they have gunmetal (or black) ones available.
