RT88’s are the best wheel for the G8X in my opinion, it’s going to look sweet!

I like e88 with a single step lipped on 18 only. G8x have double step on 19 with thicker tires which makes the proportions all off

The rt88 makes up for it since it’s a 20

yea but on the 20 or 19 face it extends the spokes making the inverted face look more obvious. just my opinion

looks like several batches are arriving. are you going to change the barrels

I LOVE the TE37s and due to these pics I'm going to be running those wheels on my car as well. Do you get any rubbing with those wheel specs?

it’s pretty cool the faces swap. AR confirmed my 1 piece barrels would work with the Rt88 face.

but i got TE and my LM’s no more room

Very late 90’s…white on white still looks good though the BBS LM(R) work so well with the white.

If it wasn’t such an unlucky color for me white would have been a great choice.

White is versatile and works well with most colors
