Sat in the new special edition RX8 ..better known in Yank land as the SHINKA. There are two colours, titanium and Cherry Black with cream, smooth leather (no ridges). Looks smart and they have shiny wheels painted in shadow chrome. RED SP23
I have 225/40x18 on 18x7 rims on my wife's Honda Accord Euro...I worry about the tyre being too wide for the rim..I would be paranoid about a 225 ona 6.5" rim...stick with the widest size for the OE rim ie 215/45x17"..you'll sleep better RED SP23 (drive)
Dead right! My Sp23 with the 18"s looks just great..unfortunate about the problem with 50mph. The standard 17"s will have to do..I think i'll put 215/45x17 Sumitomos on it though as soon as possible. I'm taking the car to NO Speed Limit Day at Wakefield Park Raceway near Canberra and hope to...
Airman Jack. I loved the look of my Mazda SP23 with 18" s but I have put back the 17"s because the suspension is not reacting well to the bigger wheels. It maybe a wheel problem with the 18x7" TSW wheels but the car jigs up and down at 50mph on any road surface. I'm putting them back on my...

I chose Sumimoto HRTZ II 225/40x18 not a problem to fit, actually quieter and rides better than the standard 17" Bridgestones (noisy as) and handles brilliantly with a little oversteer when pushing hard... RED SP23
Today I drove a new Bentley Continental GT for 100 miles. Some of it on very twisty scenic drive..wow. Short straights at 210kph(130mph). This two ton monster has 411 KW twin turbo V12. Went from 120kph to 210kph in 7 seconds!!! It was so wide in traffic!
A little quicker than my SP23.I averaged...
Do you have Paint Shop Pro..you can import wheels from other vehicles onto your car. If you post a picture of your car I will give you some examples...the best combination is a three piece wheel with a polished lip and a black or same colour blue as the car...I can do these ..yes/no??? RED SP23
This is pretty rough but I lowered the car turned it orange and added white wheels..you like. RED SP23 Oh and added a second exhaust tip.

I chose Sumitomo HTRZ II basically because they were the best compromise on handling wear and price. The Bridgestones on the standard 17" were atrocious in terms of noise. The Sumitomos are bigger, handle better and are far quieter.
Kuhmos are fantastic. My son competed in the "Chance of a...
