Default Help me choose...They have been chosen!

Alright, I had my rims narrowed down.. went to put in my order with a local vender and now they cant get them in the color I want. So I am back to square one so to speak. I have narrowed my options once again, but need some oppinions.


Now this is what I would really like, but something I cant afford-Advan RS
These are shown here in Gun Metallic


This is what i have found, They are 18's and pretty damn close to the above
Rota Tarmac 3s shown here in Charcoal Grey-the color I would be ordering


This is to give you an idea of what they would look like on an 06 STI.
This is the Charcoal Grey on a CGM


Now add in a set of these from Gorilla


Finally here is a pic of my car in its current state........now visualize


Lousy Chop, but it gives you the idea of what I am after

the rota's are knock offs of prodrive wheels that look similar to what you want so i would look at prodrives if you want a wheel with that many spokes or volks.

I've got a set in mind
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Well if thats the style you're looking for I would say go with the Bronze or maybe even black??? You'd have more seperation from wheel and body that way IMO.

No offense to anyone with rota's but i wouldnt get them. I wanted the rota torques, as knock offs of the work emotions, but there was a thread a while back about someone's rota wheel that completely cracked and that freaked me out. So now its prodrives FTW!



Some black prodrives would be sick though.

I've seen plenty of jacked up rims. In my experience in the market, its very very true that you get what you pay for. Remember, theres a reason why its a REPLICA.
