New RX-8 Wheels! New pictures!!! Hello everyone! I just got my new wheels and tires installed. I ordered these refurbished RX-8 wheels from phenixwheels-store.com. They look better than new! Tires are 235/40/18 Continental Extremecontact DW. I LOVE THESE TIRES! Extremely quiet and perform much better than the stock tires. Enjoy! http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2196.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2215.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2209.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2219.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2206.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2221.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2234.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2239.jpg |
Looks great! Makes me want to clean my car. |
agreed, got some nasty crap on mine right now...and i need to paint my rx8's |
Looks awesome. What size are the tires? |
235/40/18. I'm lowered 1.3 inches on KW V1 coilovers and NO RUBBING! The tires are alittle rounded at the top corner which helps. |
I bought those tires for the shitty weather around here and they are much quieter than the stock junk |
I love the tires! Handling is better than stock, and they absorb bumps so much better! |
Chromed turn signals? |
nice! i have a set of rx8's sitting here waiting to be powdercoated (haven't decided yet what color tho). gonna go with 235/40/18 hankook v12. i'm also still undecided if i should get kw v1 or shed out some more monies for v2 coils. considering i also still have a set of hotchkis front/rear swaybars that need to be installed i will most likely also need new endlinks since the stock ones are too long when you combine the front swaybar with coils, right? |
Any rear camber correction? Looks great! |
I have the stock endlinks. They work just fine with the stock sway bar. Also, I have the mazdaspeed camber kit. It is a perfect correction for the coilovers. I'm not completely slammed, I'm just lowered 1.3 inches all around. Its a perfect height for a DD. The turn signals are LED switchbacks from VLEDs. They are white when my lights are on, and then they turn amber when I signal! |
Well this is certainly reassuring for people wanting to run 235 mm tires. I may even ditch RPF1's in favor of a +50 lightweight wheel and wider tires. Thanks for the post. |
looks great. post part # for the turn signals please? |
These are the turn signals. They also come in 6000k, just look on the website to find them. I LOVE THEM! SO COOL!!! V-LEDS TYPE 2 DUAL COLOR CHANGING 5K WHITE AMBER SWITCHBACK 60 M-SMT TURN SIGNAL BULBS 1157 2057 These are the fogs that I have. They look sick at night because they perfectly match the signals! (NOTE: I didn't have the fogs installed when I took these pics, the fogs in these pics are the Ultra bright fogs from silvania.) http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...22473-1-2.html http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2099.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2035.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...n/DSC_2037.jpg http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/z...len/photo2.jpg |
Very nice! Love the look of the RX8 wheels. I like even more the lack of snow in your pictures! |
Looks good! What tint are you running? |
fuck all of you in the south! car looks really clean. have you considered powdercoating those black or gunmetal? |
did you pay 170 per wheel or 170 for the set? |
Clean as fuck! I've got a set of RX8's I'm refinishing that I bought off a guy locally for $200. Little bit of curbrash and they need tires, but for $200 you can't go wrong! This really makes me want to get it done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Can't agree with everyone else more. SO clean. Simple, but nice. Haven't seen many Rx-8's on MS6's. I imagine it would look just as nice. |

Looks nice. |
They were $170 a piece. Total price shipped to the door was $700. But they are reconditioned AND freshly powdercoated. Also, they have a lifetime warrenty on the finish. I figured that was worth it considering all the sets for $200-$300 were in rough shape and it would cost me $300-$400 to powdercoat them. I am very anal about my car so I wanted a set with zero imperfections and these are them! The wheels look as good if not better than new wheels. I really like how the silver looks on the car. I don't think I will be powdercoating them a dark color. The tint is 15% in the rear and 20% in the front. |
ouch. i was about to say, 170 for the set is an awesome deal |
Like I said, I think this was still a pretty good deal considering they were sand blasted 3 times and completely refinished! These are true OEM wheels powdercoated in a high metallic silver. I have some better pictures coming soon with the wheels in the sun! |
The wheels that should have came on these cars stock instead of the puny 7" wide wheels. Looks nice with the drop and DAAAAAAAAAYUUM clean!!! |
Did they come with the center caps? oh and they look great by the way! I totally am getting those or some Axis circuits. |
I just ordered the center caps from my local mazda dealer. They are the stock center caps from the RX-8 wheel and they match the powdercoat perfectly!!! Phenix wheels did a good job matching the paint color code from the stock color. |

Anyone know how to clean brake calipers besides painting them? In the first picture, you can see my front right caliper is a very dark color for some reason. I want to restore them back to the original silver. |
