Default Rx8 wheels waaa?!
Sold my "fitted" set because Im over it. Rocking the rx8 wheels with 25mm spacers until I find a new set. Figured I'd share.

Those actually dont look bad from what can be seen. Picture/wheels kind of hard to see with the black on black.

Apologies on the bad pic. Here's another:


As far as the center caps go, I'm not worried about them being that these are my spare wheel set.

Not half bad man. I'm starting to like that the "fitted" fad is finally dying down. I think decent size offset with meaty tires is coming back.

Don't get me wrong, the fitted fad doesn't look bad or anything. I've had 215's on 9"s before. I'm in the market to sell my current wheels to get a really nice set of light weight rollers with wider rubber. I'm not going to throw down 400hp with 7 inches of contact on a 11" wheel lol.

Honestly, these are very nice wheels, and suit the car well!

I couldn't have said it better. This is exactly what I'm going for. Those are 255s in the rear lol
