Hi, Traded the RX8(always wanted one) after 3 trouble free years. To be honest the car was kinda scary and I never felt confident putting my foot down, first rear wheel drive car. I couldn't justify the road tax any more as I only do 3000 miles a year.  I kept my chrome alloys (summer wheels)which have goodyear F1's still with plenty of thread left and decided to try them out on the MPS. They were taken off after a hour    I am in two minds whether to sell the wheels or get them powder coated to a different colour and use them for winter wheels. BACK to the MPS I am loving it and feel more confident putting my foot down  Thanks for looking Chevy.
