Hey guys. I ran across these wheels and saw them on white 350Z and really liked the looks. I'm about 6 months away from getting new wheels and am still playing around with some other designs in Photoshop.

Do you guys think these wheels work on the 8? There was a yellow 8 with the AutoBahn kit running with these wheels in silver and they looked hot.

So what do you think?

 

Very nice, I've been kicking the idea around with the gram light wheels in gold or bronze, but mine is VRM.

 

If I had a red 8, gold wheels for sure. Reminds me of the Ducati 916.

 

gold advan sienna's are a nice mesh wheel..

 

i like black wheels on white cars... but those look decent!

 

I like it

go for it!

 

they're okay. it's hard to say for sure from that chop. need like a natural pic of it. rims are too shiny.

 

Okay, new picture uploaded.

 

Just not a fan of gold. Maybe bronze though.

 

Gold on White looks good
but
Mesh Rims do not look good on RX8s

this coming from a guy who has mesh rims on his 8. LOL - they look horrible and i know it, but its ok cuz theyre just track wheels.

-hS

 

yay for gold nay for the lip of those riims.

 

not bad.
the chances of you seeing similar set up on the road will be pretty slim.

 

Gold +white <> good

 

They look like white walled tires.

I think silver mesh would go better with the strakes and clear corners.

 

I've always liked gold accents, though not on all cars. These look good. Go for it.

 

Thanks for the responses fellas. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy to have a photoshop file with a dozen different layers for different wheels I'm considering. Going just silver is probably a safer bet. I'm afraid I might tire of the gold.

 

Those look horrible. Like i said before mesh on an rx8 is really bad. Silver on White also doesnt look so great - the colors dont contrast well. They're too similar. Its just as bad as gold rims on a yellow car, and glack rims on a grey car, or white rims on a silver car.

Then again - if for some reason your set on mesh, go for it. It'll just make my 8 look even better

Dunno man, I wouldnt have it any other way on the 8's.

 

My preference would be simmons OM's in gold, i think it would look great on white or red cars, i dont have a pic but google them. may be a bit hard to find in the U.S. as they are an aussie wheel, real good quality though

 

I think mesh wheels look fine on the 8.. Check how bronze rims look on the 8. ( i think it should look great. )

 

That looks nice Kris!

 

IMO gold wheels on a white car look great I don't care for the mesh though, but if you like it; go for it.

 

I respectfully disagree.
I think mesh wheels give the RX8 more of a European look. If this doesn't look hot to you, I don't know what does.


mahalo!

 

One of the nicest looking Lightning Yellows.

 

Pretty good look...
