Picking the right color is just killing me..... Gold or Gunmetal (I have a white 8)....

Donny is there anyway I can have you fit tires on for me in your facilities? And do you sill have that used silver set for sale with the tires?

Unfortunately not, as we do not sell tires. Also, we do not have a used set available.

Am I correct in assuming our TPMS modules will fit this wheel?

I am considering the route of having someone local paint them white, but their price seems quite high compared to what you offer for the other colors; can anyone speculate on what places typically charge to paint wheels? I am being quoted $145 a wheel. PM me if necessary, thanks!

Our supplier has quite a few. I think you'll be okay if you order in the next 2 weeks.

Yes, they will fit fine.

$145 a wheel is pretty high. A more typical price is $50-75 per wheel.

Nice wheels & one hell of a deal.. If I could see them on a Black RX8 in silver I think you might have a buyer for a set.. I like the T57-RC better, but these are $1000 cheaper & not bad looking.

We don't currently have a picture of them on an RX-8. You can use www.tirerack.com to view what your car would look like, as they do sell these rims.

So far, we've only shipped one set to an RX-8 customer, and that would be nitsua. He'll be be getting them next week, and I'm sure he'll post pictures after the installation. We have a few other RX-8 orders, but they're currently being painted.

So these are fit for the rx8? I could order these and take them to a shop and get them installed without any big fits? I mean obviously I'd need new tires... but you know. Haha sorry I'm new to all of this...

I'm going between getting these, or living with the stock 16''ers for a while and getting a tein basic setup.

Yes, they will fit the RX-8 with no problems. A couple of guys are getting their sets shortly, so we should see some pictures soon.

I have a Black 8 and ordered a set of silvers, I'll post pics when I get them installed. It might be a little while though because I am in Canada, the border crossing always adds time.

Donny--

I asked my supplier the same thing. It seems I was a bit confused on the issue. If you order silver, they will come with the nismo stickers, but they are easily removed. On the other hand, if you order any of the other colors, they will be removed.

mine came with lug nuts and valve stems, so you might want to check that out as well, because i was told that they didn't come with those. i don't think the lug nuts will fit though. the wheels were originally for nissans which have a different size thread than we do.
