So now after looking for awhile im not sure if I want to do the whole whip in 18x9.5. I am maybe thinking about doing a 18x8.5 in the front for anyone who has done this are the any positives or negatives. Because I know you have to have a 9.5 to get the concave look. I think i might like the flat front in the front and a concave in the back.

But the weight of the wheel at 9.5 wide (26lbs) is way to much for a racing wheel. Also, the fact that they do not come with center caps IMO makes the wheel look unfinished unless your using the wheels in a track setting. Personally, I wouldn't pay more then 1k shipped for wheels weighing 26lbs. Nevertheless, I do like to overall look of the Kai 1,400 is on par. I've gotten that same quote when I was looking at the Kai's about a year ago. Hope your happy with the wheel you choose. Take pics and post |
^ I put mine on a scale and they came out to 23.5 but my scale could be sligtly off anyways the extra grip has had a positive effect on handling for me, I do track my car, however, your right pico if it was purely a race car
I would have gone with a much lighter setup |
^ ?! really?! where'd u guys find it for 1400.. i think i paid 15-16 a year ago. FML
|
xlevel, touge factory, and ravspec were all about the same Price of $1400
|
^ they are all 15k i see it

Be sure to PM a local vendor and ask for the best cash price picked up, minimum advertised price is usually higher than what most vendors sell for. |
no fuck.. i meant 1.5k lol
and well it sucks being in florida, nobody sells shit here. =[ |

They don't specialize in rx8 stuff but may be able to get it for you, not sure how close/far they are... http://www.darksideengineering.com/ |

I don't think they tip the scales quite that much, the 9.5 variant of the CR-Kais should be closer to to 23.5
Here's the Cr Kai proof. Sharp wheel thou Attachment 255476 |
That's a great thread
|
^ it really is
A must read for anybody looking to buy wheels |

I have mentioned a few times that wheel weight is overrated. The strength of the wheel is very important. I will always take a wheel they weighs more (with in reason of course) then a wheel just based on weight.

^ +1
That's why I bought Works |

I got my new Work Cr-Kai 18x9.5 +38 with Yokohama S Drives 265/35/r18. Is there any way I can get the fronts to not stick out so far. Like some little adjustments.

^pics not working dude...

You need a drop badly. Only way to get the front more tucked would a 255 instead of a 265, and to put more negative camber. Neg. camber would also adversely effect the tire ware. 265's should be pretty flush (Im on 265/35 with +38et). If you drop the car I think you'll be happier because a drop will automatically give you more negative camber all around. |
Lower the car and then get a small spacer for the rear. It will make it decently flush all around.
|
Im not really sure i need a spacer in the back because as of right now the rear is like perfectly flush. I am just gonna have to wait for coil overs becausee there is no way im buying more tires. Iv already bought 2 sets this month.
