SOOO this summer has been a HUGE headache as far as finding a new set of wheels. The original plan was to buy the blue Rotas off my friends STi. Then he decided he didnt want to sell them, so i bought a set of Enkei RPF1's. After being told they would clear my brembos, they didnt by a long shot so i sold them and got a set of what i thought were the same size Rotas as the blue ones. As they were being shipped i was told that the Blue Rotas were actually 10" wide instead of 9.5" and i would not be clearing my brakes. After spending a week looking for spacers, I bought 2 sets for the Gold 9.5" rotas i had sitting. They spacers did not work out and my buddy finally agrees to sell me his Blue wheels.. Soo after all of this i give you my custom PC Blue Rota Grids 18x10" I am not big on the color and do plan on changing them when i find a good color to use. Sorry for the iPhone pics.. let me know what you think and what color you think would look good!

Sorry man....not feeling it at all. Your car isn't DGP is it? Cause it looks like it.......

I will however, take that black 993 in the garage.

What color is your car?
I mean I could dig the color scheme but every other part of the car doesn't help. Headlights are not modified, rear sidemarkers and tails are still red; there's just too much clash.

I like the color, doesn't flow that nicely, but those rims POP.

Can i ask, stats? Size of tires and offset? Are fenders rolled/pulled to fit 10 inch rims with drop?

sorry but that look horrible

powder coat them tomorrow or throw on your stockies

Gunmetal would go with your car

No offense but you don't have a lot done to your car therefore crazy colored wheels look a bit odd. Keep it clean and classy and just go silver. It's hard to make crazy colored wheels look good with a green car as well

Nice stable you have there! 996, TL, and RL. I approve

TL^

Color don't go with the car... Honestly I would sell these and get some Rota SVN.. Personally my fav rota style.. Need to drop some more cuz they dont look like 18".. Other than that they have a lot of potential.

Parent's (?) rides are awesome!

I like gun-metals, if you're going to PC.

suspension is high since me nd my buddy had to jack her up a little to fit the 10" wide wheels. I want to go a tad lower but really im happy because theres no rubbing and i frequently have lots of people in the car. As for the color, most people that i have showed the car to have said black for the PC. I have never been the biggest fan of the blacked out look, but i have to agree that a satin black would go well with the car.

heres a pic to give you guys a better idea of the fitment.

iTrader: (1)

hey buddy, i like the color. it looks good. what offset is that?

when you get powdercoated again, get a candy coat. it's basically a "chrome" coat with a color of your choice overlayed. gives much more depth.

example: NO FLASH


WITH FLASH

candy on a TL? Why don't you go ahead and donk that bad boy

i wishh i had a nice camera and wasnt doing this with an iPhone like i said the color isnt for me but they look MUCH better in person.

mrn22

iTrader: (1)

The Tires are Potenzas, 245/45/18. as for the offset, my buddy who had them on his STi bought the car with the wheels and never found out the offset.. and didnt even know they weere 10"s for the longest time

iTrader: (1)

just a shitty rolling shot with my buddys droid. lets just say he needs to clean his windshield lol i wish you all could see the car in person.. these pics make the car look like its sitting soo high hopefully i can get my hands on a nicer camera soon

made a good avatar thow LOL

i knoww so for the PC color, im torn between going with something dark (either satin black or matte bronze) or something light to give it more contrast.. what do u guys think? No im not paying 80-100 per wheel to have silver.. again

iTrader: (12)

Still cant figure out why you sold the RPF-1s and kept the rotas.

mrn22

iTrader: (1)

JnC i liked the RPF1's, but it wasnt the style i was looking for. I have wanted wheels with some crazy concave for the longest time and i finally have them Enkeis are a better wheel, just not exactly what i was looking for. Go check out renedcruz, he bought the enkeis and slapped them on his TSX.. they look incredible

I dno why everyone keeps commenting about the color when you stated you were gna PC them....

but the fitment looks good, I would say its higher offset since u arnt poking w/ the 18x10 and running 245 tires

you can DEFINITELY go lower and not rub tho.. try it out for a week! you'll fall in love w/ the sexier stance! haha

I would say go a light color wheel since ur car is dark, like possibly a silver..

keepin' it simple

did u ever replace the varrsotens? or r u on stockies right now? silverrr.. idk i just really want something different than what i had the last 3 years ive owned the car you know? i would love to do a crazy color but its really tough to match something cool with the DGP. I might just end up doing a gold/bronze color. had those gold ones that im selling on the car sitting in the garage and i thought they looked great

jwr0ng626

iTrader: (1)

I sold the varrstoens to a loser that said he'd help me out and give me an extra $50 cause shipping was more than quoted, so I took his word for it and shipped them out and never saw my $50. I shoulda just traded with you lol I'm just on my stockies for now, the tires are practically brand new so I can't really complain.

dude, hyper silver gets my vote lol

mrn22

iTrader: (1)

wow whata dick huh? yaa u shoulda traded with me cant argue with u that the silver looks good.. and that evo but im just tired of the same look, plus it costs an arm and leg to PC these fuckers so i wanna be happy with it u know?

LasVegasTL

Not bad. I would've went with a different color choice like everyone else said but thats just me.

iTrader: (1)

?? like read the whole thing if your going to comment on the thread bro.. im powder coating them and asking for peoples opinions on what color.
