hey josh, it looks nice actually hot as hell. with the exhaust and sexy ass gold rx8 rims. but it needs more clear coats. so it shines more. it looks kind of dull.

im talking about the rims josh!! the rims!! lol
 
josh, the rims look kind of flat. i think if you spray some more clear coats on the rims, that i will be a little more shinier and a bit better. do u understand now?lol

how much clear coat u want me to put on.....i put like 5-6 per rim...lol

almost a whole can per rim......

they are not dull in person...maybe the camera i used...not the best one in the world....some CVS brand digital camera....

when you see them in person....they look alot better....trust me
 
Looks great. How is the ride, handling etc? I'm so jealous. I'm sure you had to roll the fenders but what size spacers did you use?
 
Looks really nice, but the rusted dust shield on the rear rotor stands out too much, and kind of cheapens the look.
 
(omg) Nice paint job on the rims!!! My only suggestion is for you to get black lugs...the chrome takes away from the gold...IMO.

ride is the same to me as when i had stock 16's on with 195/50/16 tires.....bumps and everything feel the same....no harshness at all....

handling...well tires are brand new....so they havent been properlly broken into yet...says to give them bout 300miles so the crap they put on the tires can wear off.....but wider tires=way more fun in the turns.....and these tires are ment for handling....

as far as fender rolling and stuff....i have yet to do anything....i have not rolled fenders.....no used spacers and i have not noticed any rubbing nor heard any sort of scrapping going over bumps or anything...

but i have yet to have people ride in the back....so that will be the test....but then again no one really rides in the backseat anyways.....usually its just me bymyself...or my fiance and i....thats it
