hey wsup... i was wondering if rx8 rims would fit/ look good on a rx7?

 

No, and no.

Yes and maybe. I've seen a 2nd gen with RX-8 wheels installed. Not sure if spacers were required or not. Not my taste, but looked OK. Now, it probably cost half a million dollars...

 

Gee Aaron Cake, I'm suprised you don't know this.

RX-8 rims are 18" x 8", +50 offset.
You still think they will fit?

Sure, the 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern is the same...

I don't know anything about the RX-8. They don't really do much for me. I'll try to find out what spacer was used and the details on the install.

 

It's basically the same thing as the FD wheels, since the width and offset are the same - 8", +50.

i've also seen a fc with rx8 wheels. i think a spacer was used.

 

Lets not get into the spacers debate............ ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH Spacers.. grumble mrrffffff *(&*(*&(

 

18's are TOO BIG for an FC.

 

Negative.

 

they might fit, but they look like *** and perform like ***.

 

Trust me, they look good and they KILL good...

A friend of mine has 18s and they are great!

 

pics?...

 

Looks alright.

I don't like the idea of 20mm spacers though...

 

looks nice,

 

how much do the rx8 rims weigh?

 

i believe they weigh 17lbs? not really sure... would you guys prefer the rx8 rims or mustang gt rims off of 99-04?

 

I think the Skyline R33 rims look good on FC's, the Rx8's look OK, kinda generic.

 

i think it looks wicked....

what kinda bumper is that...?

 

I think its Version Select

Same body kit thats going on my T2


What I want to know is were did that guy get that wing, kind of looks like a celica looking thing

any ideas?

 

Im about to put fd wheels on my fc. Using a 20mm spacer and extended ARP studs. I think they should be fine as long as im not doing any auto-x or wild BS. I would rpefer nto having too, but I already have the wheels so why waste them?

 

That red FC looks good, but why does it have the cheapo black mirrors from the base model? Where is the TII Aero Mirrors, or did that market not get them?

 

the big ricer front wing and rear spoiler dont really do it for me im afraid........

But i like the RX8 wheels !! arent they 19's ???????

 

No, they are 18".

Okay, I know this might be outta place but I use my 15 inch gxl wheels and love them to death. Alot of ppl like the big wheel thing but aren't the 15's the best for handling and performance without going to an exceptionally wider wheel. I also don't drag my car, only road course stuff, so ins't stock width ideal too. I'm not knocking the big wheel issue, it's just always bugged me on performance gains, if any, from going bigger.
