hey i have some brand new rx8 rims for sale and since every1 here thinks 500 obo is too expensive imma just keep them. but does any1 know if they'll fit my fc? cuz im thinking of buyin tires just to see if theyll fit wit the right spacer but if any1 here know from experience that would be gr8 so that i dont spend money on tires.

Have you even tried test fitting the rims on your car?

i have no tires but it should go in and i did some measurements and it seem like i would need spacers but yet im not sure cuz there 18" rims and im thinkin its gonna rub like crazy in the front but im not too sure thats why i would like some body that knows to tell me

Yea, I met some guy at sevenstock and he had rx-8 rims on his fc. it looked pretty good. anywayz, he said that he had to get a certain tire size so it wouldn't rub all over the place. Don't know what size it was though. But I know it will fit.

That thread seems to have some good information... I don't get why it was closed, seems to me that people were actually backing up their arguments with facts, which you don't see much of on these boards anymore.

Just to clear things up, the rim is part of the wheel. The correct term you are looking for is wheel. Ok, now you can continue this conversation that has already been covered. Of course you would have known that if you searched first.

No, it was getting to be a pissing contest, but the reason it was closed is covered in the last post in it.

Chimera was the worst offender there (but there were a couple of others) and was not backing up anything with fact, but rather comparing apples to oranges as he saw fit and twisting his FATF undestanding of tires and suspension instead of sticking to facts.

Either way the subject of the thread was covered, and it is too bad that the originator of this thread was not able to search and discover it before posting this thread here.

looks freakin awsome. i can just imagine them with my new paint job. im thinking graphite or black

P.S. ReTed is a funny guy that never gives up no matter how wrong he is just like Bush

Those do look pretty f-in' slick.

I thought someone over on the 3 club would want 'em fo sho. Sorry if I steered you wrong.

Good luck selling them. It seems, from searching, that they go for 350-500 bucks, so you seem to be asking kind of a lot, but like you mentioned, these rims are NEW, as in never even mounted, right?

swiftfc

right! they're still boxed up and there not for sale anymore imma just put them on my FC after seein that car

Natey u didnt steer me wrong i should thnx you cuz imma keep them now

Icemark

They look pretty lame to me in that picture... the offset is all wrong. The wheel is way to far in...

I guess that is what happens when you mount the wrong wheel with the wrong offset on the car.

i don't like em too much....they don't fit on the car at all...

Ah, a Bush Basher...
I guess that makes you stupid like Michael Moore then?

The car looks like an oversized Hot Wheels toy.

I could never take a car that looks like that seriously.

at first glance they look pretty good but looking at it now it looks like the the proportion is off...like a muscle bound guy with chicken legs.

The front fenders are not stock.

You're Conservative/Republican?

I guess all I can do is extend a begrudging, yet whole-hearted----->

On topic: The Rx8 wheels are too big and obtrusive. Also, they're obviously 'modern', wheras the Rx7 embodies a dated (although classic) style of vehicle... What I'm trying to say is, the wheels don't fit the car, lol.

But on the other hand they're cool because they 'keep it in the family' in a good way.

swiftfc

well its good that every1 here is not bashing on opinions and to me i think they'll look gr8 with my graphite or black, which ever i pick, car. Although i cant really see anything wrong with them i guess you guys like a more ricey look, me i like OEM Parts

Ruskin

if you like it go for it dude. my brother has them on his FC and i like the look. id snap afew pics but its winter up here so the car is in storage. i know he had to use spacers, i just couldnt say what size. pm me if you'd like and i can give him a call and find out for ya.

ps. i agree that red FC is off in the back end, the wheels are to shallow in the well.

My brother is also running rx8 rims on his TII. He is using a 30mm hub-centric spacer which fits nicely under a 30mm wide body kit. He also has it lowered 3/4" with HKS springs... Tire size is 225-45-18

I have been on his *** to post pics...
