MS3 Owners: Show us your wheels

[Crazypato]

I'm running RX8s. I rub very rarely, but I do rub.

Oh ok...RX8 wheels are 18x8 if im correct right? Cuz in that case, ill just wait to get 235 when i get a wider wheel....

 

[Crazypato]

That's probably the extra weight of the RX-8 wheel (24-25lbs. ea,) as well as a slightly taller than OE tire.

Aaahh ok...so thats why some of these guys say the car feels slower. Because they have heavier wheels than stock and taller tires than OE tires...mmm it makes sense

The RX-8 wheels aren't any heavier than the stock 18x7s...IIRC, they're actually 1-2 lbs lighter.

me? yeah, i've been working on refinishing some RX-8s for the last couple months. after hours of sanding, filling, sanding more, mounting tires, finally ready to paint and it turns out one of the wheels is warped. found another one on ebay... more sanding... blah, blah, blah. hoping to finish them next week.

you sick of your rotas?

not sick of them, i'm just make like 1.5 times as much when i ordered them, so i want something nicer, and the fact they are just SOOO heavy. Also wouldn't mind some te 37's. but until them i might paint them white to give a new look for the summer. any way back on topic. even though most have seen them

Thanks
I was thinking black caliper paint with red mazdaspeed decals... for a bit of a stealthier look than just red calipers.
