okami Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) As the title says, I have 4 RX8 wheels (18 x 8 50mm offset). They have some curb rash that you can see in the pictures, but they run straight and true. The tires are Nitto NT01 R-compound tires (225/40). They have about 1/2 of the tread left, as they are now down to where shaved tires start. I ran this setup for NASA Time Trial and they made a big difference over street tires in terms of grip and durability. Street tires just wear away too fast and get slippery when hot. They are also much more predictable than street tires. I am looking to get $550 OBO for the set. I will separate them, but you will have to pay the dismounting fee. http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5104.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5108.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5107.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5106.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5105.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5114.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5116.jpg http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx18/bkirkbride/CIMG5117.jpg Edited July 5, 2010 by okami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okami Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 TTT These are still available for those of you with MS3s, RX-8s, and possibly others cars with the same bolt pattern (Ford?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0n8 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 still available? center caps included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okami Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yes, they are still available with center caps. I am willing to negotiate, so make me an offer. I also have a Cobb rear sway bar that I will be selling soon. It was great on the track, but this car is back to daily driving only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Ben, Want to get some coil overs for it? It will make it better for the street than the stock junky shocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okami Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 No thanks, biggu. I am putting car $ into the M3 now. The wife doesn't need the upgrades on her car (ms3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx78 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think these might fit my MS3. I need to see how th offset will fit. I was looking for some new rims to run my summer tires next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 If i did i was looking at a darking color so me to see how much to fix the curb rash and to get them painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okami Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 RacerX78, These will definitely fit the 07-09 MS3. I used them as racing wheels on mine. They are wider than the stock wheels, and are nice for running a wider tire. I am not positive if the 10 MS3 is any different, but I think it is basically the same.

racerx78 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Except for the offset their the same size, as the Gen2 speed3. I just need to make sure the offset will work with the tire size i want to run, and i need to see how much for repair and powder coating. I'd use them as my Summer or winter rims.
