Rota Battle, should i?
The rota battle came out and its not bad at all. plus its only 19 lbs for the 18 inchers.
625 shipped is also not a bad price, from jaydm.
they are a knock off of Advan™ Model5
think it would look good?
i think the only problem is that the center caps look like crap, and if i could get the acura cap on them then that would be a hell of a rim set.
or maybe i should just wait to get the turbo on and forget rims altogether.
so what do you guys think about these rims and how much would they help performance realistically (i mean track time improvement)?

I think those look pretty good for the price. I have also been considering those wheels. I'm sure you would be able to find some other center cap to replace that nasty black one they have..
as for track improvement, I have no idea.. never cared too much about the track times..

These 19lb rims aren't going to improve track times unfortunately.
I would wait and buy a strong lightweight forged wheel, 13-14lbs,
like an SSR or a Volk, which is what I'm going to do.
Then you may see some improvement at the track.
A set like that is going to run you $1,600 to 2,000 though.
