Just another MS3 on RX8 Wheels...

When I traded my RX8 in for the MS3 I had them swap over my RX8 wheels and tires, however the rims were starting to show their age. Just had them refinished yesterday and I love the way they came out. For the price to have them refinished I couldn't complain and in my opinion makes the car look way better than before.

Awesome. Looks just like mine would with RX-8 wheels. Makes me want them even more, though if they were showing their age, I would've had them powdercoated a gunmetal or slightly darker silver, but that's me. Everybody has been Time Attacking any and all wheels.
 
Could you take some close up pics by the fender. It looks like your just missing it. I Like =] !
 
i really want to trade my ms3 wheels for someone's ms6 of rx-8 wheels. that's the only 5 spoke wheel i've seen that i like on our cars.
 
You don't rub with those tires? What does your plate stand for?

No rubbing, but I did do a minor fender roll.

thats really nice. if you don't mind me asking, how much did that run u?

$250 CDN Dollars

how did the grip change in 1st and 2nd gear after the 245s were installed?

I didnt have the stock width tires to compare but I can tell you that I have no wheel hop and the car hooks like mad.
