rota boost or gforce? vote!

hey guys i need alittle help deciding what to buy here and i thought id put up a poll.

(these are the 18 x 9, i have bc coilovers and i live in PA and for those of you who know PA the roads are TERRIBLE)

i was also wandering if anybody knows if these wheels will need to have the fenders rolled??

also what size tire would have the LEAST chance of rubbing??

I've had 2 sets of Advans... RZs and RSs so I would say the Boost since its the RG2 replica.

The GForce is so common. Be different and get the Boost. Silver is nice.

rubbing comes down to tires size and wheel offset

stick with a 245 if you want a better chance of not rubbing

keep in mind all tires run different in terms of width

What offset are you gonna run? Stick with a 245 tire if you dont want to roll the fenders.

roll the fenders and get some serious looking fitment. Its a cheep method (just get someone that has done it) and you can get a wayy more agressive stance. How much are these gForces running you. VERY interested in doing this as well. Wish they came in 9.5 though. And what are the offsets of them if you're going with a 9" you should be able to pull off at LEAST a +25. If not.. wheel spacer the junkk outa them and you'll smile a lot harder!

edit- just did some photo shopping and DEFINATLY the GForces! sick looking rim. What colour is your car and what are you planning on for rim colour? Gunmetal Grey looks sick!

G units for sure. Be prepared to buy a 5mm or bigger spacer for the fronts. The rears fit no prob. The 9 in wheel looks sick and is concave as nuts. Hot wheels for a fair price from wheeldude. Peace

Probably have to go with the majority, the G Force > Boost for me... what color is your car? Yellow I'm assuming? That kinda makes a difference to me, those Boost look a lot better on white than black IMO.
