Hey guys i would like some help with the wheels and tires im thinking about picking and i have a 04 RX8 GT sunlight silver. Im changing what i have on now just dont like them anymore. I've been looking at the enkei RPF1 in black in 18x9.5 but i dont want to wait 3 months. So im looking at Axis Halo in black in 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 or Axis penta or shine in 19x8.5 &19x9.5 or maybe the Enkei RP03 in 19'' staggered. The tires will be either 245/40 & 275/35/18 or 245/35 & 275/30/19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta . I going to put on either coilovers or tokico D-Spec & tein S-Tech springs too when i get the wheels.

 

Is there a question somewhere in there lol? It seems like you have it pretty much narrowed down.

 

exactly what i was thinking.

one thing you might consider is wheel weight though. a light weight wheel will give you better performance while the heavier ones are just for looks.

 

Ya the question is which of the rims i have listed do u guys think will look the best on my rx8 and do u guys think i should go with 18'' or 19'' wheels. The roads around here r ok i guess for 19'' its not bad with the 18'' i have now. Just not sure about the added weight of the 19''.

 

will you ever track or auto-x the car? you will find that the rims you listed above (save the enkeis) are MUCH heavier than stock, thereby decreasing your performance

 

Just wait it out. You'll nutterbutter huge.

 

+1 w/Ross

With the exception of the enkei's (rp03's and rpf1's) and axis halos (~22lbs IIRC) the others are pretty heavy.

What are you concerns in regards to wheels?? Are you gonna be tracking or going to auto-x events? If so, lighter wheels will be your friends.
