Subscribed. I want these wheels. What color do you all think would look good with phantom blue? I'm thinking brushed titanium. I know, i know, it's up to me cause it's my car and whatever I think looks good is what I should get, but just wanted to get people's opinion.

Thanks Atilla. Question. How come a lot of people are suggesting 19's in this wheel? I've always thought 18's with a drop was the way to go and it seemed a lot of others had this same belief, but I'm seeing a lot of people suggesting 19's in this wheel.

hell if i know...![Dunno](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
to each their own i suppose.![Lol](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol.gif)
19's would definitely be a nice fit on a lowered car - but my reasoning against going 19's was price. Not just for the rims but for tires. lol - i'm medium ballin' man - i gotta watch my wallet.
if you got with 19's, you don't really need an aggressive drop to look nice (like if you had my kind of drop)- if you go 18's - just make sure you're lowered pretty well like angel to close in on the wheel gap or like The Reverend for the proper stance fitment.
Hope this ^^ rambling was some kind of help to you...

maybe 19's would lead to a tad bit more concavity with these wheels??
that's all i can think of b/c i think you're right...in general, most peeps stick with 18's and a drop on the rx8. 19's are expensive, and typically heavier, which doesn't suit the 8.

If you're debating on what you should spend your money on based on what people are tellin you - you should look at their ride n' ask yourself if their taste and style is worth your money ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
If not, F them and go with what you think is nice
