well i was planing on getting these wheels but they are on back order and didn't want to wait


Soooo......... I went with a different wheel. I went with Rota Battle's. there 18x8 on a +45 offset. there flat black. the back tires are Nankank NS-II 225/40/18. The front are the best things. The front tires are 235/40/18 Yokohama Advan Neova's AD07. There tires retail for over $300+ a tire, but my buddy no longer runs these wheels so i got them all for $650. it was a hell of a deal i loved how they looked on my car. Please leave comments on what you think......First pix is his new wheels. there 17x8 ALT Rush wheels on Bridgestone Protenza RE050. Thread wear is 140 .

eh

 

Im not feelin it sorry. I would think a 6 spoke rim would look better. Theres too much goin on with the split spokes...

 

what are the wheels you were planning on getting? wheels look better on a coupe imo

 

i liked the ALTs better but in 18". the best thing about the rotas are that they're black and you can't see them doesn't matter what design they are, all i see is a black circle

 

Very Very nice rims on both rides. Enjoy them...Love the flat black

 

Quick lesson:

If your thread is like "hey, look at this!", it goes in Show & Shine.
If your thread is like "hey, would this fit?", it goes in the Technical Wheel forum.

 

Why do you have mismatched tires? That's just asking for handling problems.

 

+1
It also screws the resale cause it automatically downgrades the condition of the car to "Fair".

As far as looks, I always thought I was a big fan of the matte black...
I'll repeat that...I always thought I was a big fan of the matte black...

Really doesn't matter though. If you like it that's all that counts. It certainly doesn't look bad, just doens't look as good as I thought it would.

 

Agreed, I don't know what it is, but it doesn't look right to me. I like the way the gold looks on your friend's car though.

 

Agreed. It doesnt look bad but it could look better. I think it is the style of the rim. I like the color.

 

well I definately think they would look better with a drop but I guess that's just stating the obvious. I like em.

 

think you should have waited on the red lipped ones

 

I'm in love with your first choice and the gold ones your friend has. Not so much diggin the style of the new ones but the color is nice.

 

gold and red is a very good combination
