LONG STORY SHORT: i ordered a set of Redline RD144 because they looked like the Varrstoen's...unfortunately, i received them today and i got the wrong color. i was supposed to get the machined face like the varrstoen, but i was sent gunmetal. now i'm stuck between keeping these or sending them back. which do you guys think will look better on my color...

here's a pic of what they're SUPPOSE to look like with machine face.

 

so here are pictures of what i received

 

 

 

so should i keep or return

 

They both look nice. I say keep because it works well with the gold.

 

I say keep them, think it goes with the gold better imo.
How much were those anyways? Always been a fan of Redline wheels ever since my bro had some 10 inch wide ones on his 240z lol

 

I would return them. The one in the picture in the first post looks way better, especially with only 5 holes for lug nuts.

 

I like the hyper silver or machined ones better on gold cars

 

Test fit that bish.

IMO the gunmetal actually looks better since it's more of a subtle color, the machined face sticks out too much for me.

 

Yeah, I prefer the "5 hole" vs: the "unilug". However given a choice of color, the "gunmetal" is a very nice accent for the polished offset lip. So, the bottom line is your personal preference.....along with the big hassle involved in gaining satisfaction. Go with the gut, as it's your ride and hard earned money !

 

Well I had them mounted. my old nexen tires were low on tread so i just replaced them real quick with some off brand from firestone. i dont know if i like these as much as the XXR..here's quick pics during work

 

They don't look bad at all. Definitely better than the XXR's. But I still like the ones in the first post best.

 

it looks kooool, get the black headlights though, it ill look hard

 

Looks better than I thought I agree on blacking out the headlights. Get some more side shots as well

 

i ended up not liking the gunmetal against gold so i got new wheels today lol

 

Man you've been going thought the wheels lol. I like the bbs wheels much better

 

hah yeah gf been on my ass about it too! told her i'm in the pursuit of perfect stance

 

Yeah, the money you're spending on rims could be going her direction......
maybe a 'lil more bang for the buck, imo !

 

can you take a pic of the whole car and maybe some profile shots of the car?


would really like to see how the wheels look on the car!

 

Didn't have time to get them mounted after work today so I'll post pics tomorrow in my other BBS LM post

 

Wow... You blew money on replicas, but ended up getting the real deal. Ditch your replica kit and get the real one. -_-

 

Damn was goin to say liked the gunmetal better then the lighter color and xxrs..But then you got BBS.....GAME OVER...Put them BISHES ON...

 

Those are reps.

 

Shoulda known lol, but with the money blown, better wheels could have been bought
Take off the BBS center caps.

 

I wish these were real but shitttt @ $925 per wheel for the real deal... I like these reps lol

 

Ive heard of issues with the Lm reps...They look good,but you get what you pay for...GL

 

I'll let y'all know how it goes. So far I've had reps and never had any issues

 

Don't even worry about it, even in Japan they use XXR's. People hear issues, and have shown the proof, but that's like 1 fail in how many sets?

 

Word....

 

here's link to pics
