Dunno what the deal is with the thumbs, maybe a bug from using Tapatalk.
Car is lowered with pedders springs. Ride is still pretty comfy most of the time. Is better since getting the new tyres which are Nexen ( had Potenzas prior). Dunno if it's because the rubber is new and softer, different tyre pressures or softer sidewalls but bumps like catseyes are a lot smoother now.
Rims are a new brand called Icon ZEST.

Let's just say a really good price
And meet a really nice guy with a GEN II aluminum, got it in march. I told him to join the forum so will see if he does.
Number plates were 11plz 18x9 rims on it now offset of +38 very Hella Flush.
He asked me about cruising and sounded keen so will get him to come on next cruise.
Do like this look, need some gen 2 rims, or series 2 rx8 onesBrand New, Holy $hit, what did you pay for those?? I think they would look really nice..

Craptastic iPhone spec photo, sorry about that....
18x7.5 +45 (-presumably, not 100% on their offset) cheese cutters, but they sit out nicely. Pretty much flush at the back, and about 1-2mm poke at the front.
They do scrub...

Wow... Odd... My 18*7.5 +45 do not scrub with 225-45's on them... Though i think the Jax guy may have dialled in a little extra camber on the rear.

I never knew that 18x7.5 +45 would sit flush
I want RX8 GT rims 19". Anybody got them or know somebody please PM me.

I wasn't expecting them to either. But in saying that, these rims are second-hand from my housemate, who got them second hand off his mate. So I'm not 100% on the offsets for them.
Along with the rest of the Mazda community...
I know of one person with them, and they aren't for sale
Can buy them from the us for about 2.5-3k shipped.. Probably won't get them for under 2k here...

I remember ASV in Sydney had an RX8 GT they were wrecking not too long ago, however by the time I found out most of the parts had been sold... rather quickly!
edit: I personally wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a set without tyres.

Wuttt? 18X9 on a Gen 2 with a +38 offset? How did he even got those to fit?? Thats like rub everywhere u go... Tell him to show photos!!?? From my research the most you can do without scrubbing in a Gen 2 is 8.5 with a 45 offset. or 8 with like a 42 offset..
