Rota Boost?

Anyone here have pictures of evo's on rota boosts? I did a search and I basically found nothing. As far as what I've heard, the boost varies a little from the RG2's, is this true? Thanks in advance for any input whatsoever!

I had a bunch of photos but socalevo.com deleted them when they changed their site. I'm too lazy to upload so thats the best you'll get.

Wow, that was a fast reply! Do you have any pictures from the side view? Also, how is the quality? Any chipping? Do you regret anything about these wheels?

Thanks again!

Quality is excellent. I've hit a lot of **** on the road with my Tanabe springs and it didn't bend. The paint is good and doesn't chip only at the lug nut holes like normal. The spokes come out just like the GTR face on the RG2s but not as much.

Some discrepencies. The center bolt holding the hub sticks out so you have to mount them carefully, but it looks really race (centercaps don't fit). It has a big lip so it doesn't look as big as the stock enkies, but the lip looks really nice like RG2s. The spokes are a little close to the brakes. Also don't put 245 tires like I did or it will make the rims look ugly.

Wow man! Thanks for all the info, that was really detailed. I was asking because I am planning on getting a new set of wheels. This is one of the three types of wheels that I'm thinking of buying. Thanks again man!

Well the Rota Boost are maybe the best choice if you want stock size, quality rims that look awesome, but will not dent your wallet at all. Good luck.

The pictures were just touched up with a bit of contrast and saturation.
