Mehhh, no way that can happen IMHO. rx8 shines brightly specifically in one area - handling (as we all know 
) Because 240's are all about drift (well, 95% of them) the whole fitment thing with stretched tires works well. For rx8's, however, not so much. Not enough owners will go the direction of zilvia due to super aggressive messing with handling traits. For this next season I definitely want to have something more practical to track on, I dislike knowing I am not getting 100% what my machine has to offer. On the other hand, most of us aren't religious racers nor do we time ourselves to and fro in our daily commutes. I'm a bit unsure how I feel about the situation to be completely honest.

+1...I am somewhat torn on the situation as well, I am a young guy and like to look cool, but it can be hard to walk that line between form/function especially when there are many naysayers to that scene here. With good reason in some instances but not always totally justified.

That's the best thing to do IMO - R-comps on stock wheels and another set for flash. I initially tried to go that route but kept spending $ on new sets of wheels, lol.
