Since no one has started an Rx8 picture thread yet, why not I?

More pics coming, put a RE-A super dolphin Exhaust on yesterday and should be putting on the AutoExe brace set and F/R strut bars this weekend.

I thought the 40th Anniversary Edition Rx-8's were white. That is a great looking car, and I absolutely love the wheels.

I know the white were japan and UK releases not sure if the US market got any white or not.

Do you know whether I'd be able to buy the wheels from Mazda or not?

fikren · 03-01-2008, 08:25 AM

To be honest, I'm not sure how Mazda does that, I know the wheels are available because when I bought it one wheel was banged up from where the truck driver was pulling it off the ramp he grazed the side of his truck with the front passenger side wheel so they had to order me a replacement one.

What I do not know is if they will make you sit through 20 questions, provide a VIN, etc before they would let you order a set of them. Best bet would be just to call the dealership ask for parts department and tell them you want to order a set of the 40th anny wheels. I'd hate to see the price on that though.

Nice..I see some etching on your tail pipes, mazdaspeed or RacingBeat?

VR8 · 03-02-2008, 09:54 PM

Racing Beat, I started out wanting mello. Now I have a RB race pipe in the garage waiting for the trip to the Dragon!

I want those wheels! Those are the best looking wheels I have seen from aftermarket. This look great on the 8!! Where did ya order them from? Did you get a wheel tire package or buy tires seperate? What tires are you running? Sorry for all the questions..

Here is mine...

Let's see Screamin, ordered from WheelMax, I bought the tires from a local tire guy although WheelMax does packages as well, and finally, the rubber is Nitto 235/40/18ZR in the front ... 265/35/18ZR in the rear. Thanks for the compliment.

Here's a shot of my '04 Nordic Green I picked up last month. It's going to remain mostly OEM/Mazdaspeed/RB - nothing crazy.

WE3RX7 · 03-10-2008, 06:46 PM

Here's my last '04 RX8. Everything you can think of done to it, original engine made it to 41K miles - and the new owner ended up parting it out completely! I only had it for 3 months but was enough to make me want another one.
