Here's a way that doesn't involve defining your own c-mode:

(defun my-c-style ()
  (c-set-style "k&r")
  (setq c-basic-offset 8))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-style)

The beauty of adding to the c-mode-common-hook is you'll get the same
behavior in all c-modes (like c++-mode and objc-mode).
