- Hey what's goin on guys?
It's Andrew here with Fitment Industries Television.
So I am super excited today,
I just got in my new Radi8 wheels.
These are actually going on my vehicle.
I got a 2017 Golf Alltrack.
So we're going to do an unboxing video for you guys,
I'm gonna show you what I've got.
And if you guys remember from a couple months ago,
if you guys have been watching the channel
for a little bit of time now,
we did take a look at the R8S5
about 7 months back, and it was a 19 inch.
So I am actually gonna do a 20 inch on my vehicle.
So we'll unbox this thing,
take a look at it, and then get you guys the specs.
Let's check it out.
(heavy bass line music)
So of course we've go the nice plastic strip around it.
The wheel cover.
And of course, if you guys order just wheels,
this is how they would come,
nicely packed to your house.
And of course if you order a wheel tire combo
they're gonna be mounted and balanced, all that fun stuff.
So this is gonna be the black,
with the machine faced finish.
Absolutely beautiful looking wheel.
Radi8's got a lot of really cool, edgy looking stuff.
I'm really excited to toss these on my car,
I've been in love with this wheel
since these things dropped a couple of years ago.
So, if you guys aren't familiar with Radi8
they're based out of City of Industry, CA.
Their whole market is basically for the Euro-cars.
So, BWM, Mini, Volkswagen, Audi,
that kinda stuff is basically what they're targeting.
Really cool looking wheel.
Now, I'm actually gonna end up powder coating these
so they won't stay the machine face,
but we'll get you guys the scoop,
get you some close-ups here.
So, neat thing about this wheel is,
now the black, from what it looks like online,
it looks like just a flat black.
But, we'll get you some close-ups here,
and if you look inside these windows
it's actually like a black metallic flake.
So, there's like almost a little bit of silver,
and kind of a gold looking flake
inside these windows here.
What I really like about this wheel
is you almost get two different patterns out of this one.
If you kinda focus your attention towards the actual face
it'll almost kinda look like a ninja star,
hence the name "The Sarcastic Ninja"
is what this wheel is also called, aside from the R8S5.
But you also get a pattern where it almost kinda looks
almost like a flower with these big five spokes.
So depending on how you look at it,
there's almost kinda two different styles
that come out of this wheel.
This one just has the chrome matching machine center cap.
Of course snaps right in the middle there.
And then this is gonna be a 20x8.5.
So this is eight and a half wide,
and of course with my car I'm gonna
end up putting it on air pretty soon here.
On my car this is gonna end up setting,
it's gonna be a little more tucked in fitting,
so I'll be able to air out
and come right down over the wheel.
A really cool looking wheel.
Now this is a mono-block design.
See the back here, definitely a wild looking pattern.
Now, aside from this finish,
there's gonna be a couple of others
you can get this one in.
You can also get this is a gold brush,
silver, which is a flat silver,
that's the one we looked at a couple months back,
There's also a dark mist.
And then actually, I believe it's on the Japanese market,
I believe there is a black R8S5 you can get.
So, a few different finishes available.
Now, I'm running a 5x112 for my Volkswagen.
You can get this in 5x100, 5x112,
5x114.3, and 5x120.
So definitely a couple different options in
the bolt patterns for you guys to check this one out in.
Cool thing about Radi8,
is price point is killer on these, too.
I would basically label any of their wheels
a moderate price point.
Sizes, once again I'm looking at a 20x8.5,
but you can get 18, 19, and 20 inch.
And then this wheel comes in 8.5, 9.5, and then 10 wide.
So a couple different options,
and then a few different offsets in between there too.
This is a 45 offset on this 8.5 wide.
So if we take a look at a side profile,
pretty flat wheel, not a ton of concave on this one.
And once again, not the look I was going for.
I just like the big chunky mono-block look of this wheel.
A really European looking.
So, if you guys have any questions
drop them in the comment box below.
That's a quick unboxing on the Radi8 R8S5.
Shout out to Radi8 Wheels for the wheels here,
I'm excited to get these on my car.
Stay tuned, they are not gonna be this finish.
A couple months, they will be a different color.
So if you guys have any questions, let us know.
