why are TRs always orange when ppl take pics of them?
Because I'm using my bad point and shoot in bright sun, and not my normal DSLR.
Just to be different, and my other set of RX-8s are being redone right now.

haha that blue is such a sick color. looks crazy on true red. hows those tires? i was looking at maybe getting a set. sticky? how long have you had them? hows the tread wear?
Love the tires. Had them for 10,000 kms and they are sticky but offer wicked wet traction as well. Wear is on par with what I expect for a performance tire.
I had a set of Nitto Invos before and they are miles ahead of them. Not knocking the Invo's they were an awesome tire, but these are incredible in comparison.

Wow. Absolutely incredible PC job. Not a fan of Blue on red to be honest. It would look incredible on a white car though. I still can't fathom how you got them for 50 bucks. I was trying to buy a bad set locally and the guy wouldn't budge from 300.
i think they look grrrreat...so good, in fact, that i'm not ashamed to say i copied yr idea & got my standard wheels painted Kona Blue, 1/2 flake & 1/2 pearl deep cobalt blue. the paint code is from Ford Mustang, L6. one of these days i'll wash the car & take some pics. i do like the contrast btw the red car & the blue wheels, much more than i would black wheels. something about red car/blue wheels just flips the proverbial switch for me.
