I need some help.

I've selected a couple of rims I really like, but I don't know which would be the best choice for my car. I really don't feel like making a wrong decision, so I'm asking some advice from you guys. I'm looking for 16" rims.

First, this is the car were the new rims have to be put on (still with my old rims)

and these are the options

1st Rota circuit 8

4th Icon (APC) W63

i don't like any of those but from the bunch, the r1's look pretty good

I'm not really a fan of rims that curve inward like that, but out of those, I would definitely go with the second option in gunmetal w/ polished lip.

my previous rims curved outward, so now I want something completely different...

2nd Rota Grid is my choice.

gunmetal/polished Rota Grids, 'nuff said.

He Goosse, looks like everybody here seems to agree with the pick I also did :D
Rota Grid's are the best looking ones I believe, but I also like the R1 though :grinno:

word

Bronze or white C8's would look good on you car. That last one just looks heavy, and it's APC (American Piece of Crap), the grids never been a big fan of em, the R-1's, well I don't think those require anydiscussion as to why not.

The best way is to think about what you would like to see on your car. Then get a scale and get the lightest one.

I like six spoke rims. I went with the Rota Grids. White will look good on your car.

I'd have to go with gunmetal or sport bronze C8's, or the steel gray Grids.

Now for my car I'm looking at some black faced Rota Subzeros with polished lip. Pretty sweet looking they are.

i like the circuit 8's also, but don't know what color would look best cuz you have a green car.

Wait, what's wrong with your current rims? I think they look pretty good compared to my stock ones!

my friend's got 18" bronze te37s on his black civic and I like the color combo.

R1 gets my vote...

White rims and 6 spokes are gay. Find some 5 or 7 spoke rims that are black or bronze. In my defense I sold my whities and am buying some nice black ones w/a polished lip. Can't beat that look on a black car.

btw Goosse, I like your tails.

I like the look of the R1 the best, but they are probably pretty heavy, if that matters to you. 2nd choice would be the 2nd rota grid. Also have you looked into any 7 spoke patterns. They look really good on hondas

Sport bronze c8's would look nice with your car.

It's been a long time since I visited this forum, but here is an update on the wheels.

Looks really good. Are those the Grids?

yep, they are 16" rota grid. Steel grey with a polished lip

I just put a set of "16 Royal Black Grids on order today. :cool:

What are you going to do with the c8s? If you're selling them, I might want to buy them.

And nice choice, Goosse.

Thanks for the offer. I'm actually going to keep them, and use them as my race wheels for when I auto-X. The ES100 tires I have on them right now have about 40% tread left on them, so I know I can get another few events on them. I'm going to be putting some Falken Azenis RT-215 tires on the new wheels when I get them, 215/45 16 size for the tires.

hey try the racing hart cr they'll look nice :smile: trust me on that i know my rims

My Grids are already on order (read above :rolleyes: ) and Racing Harts are over rated around here. Plus the price of them kills it. I'm getting my Grids for $450 for the SET! I know my rims too, and CR's just aren't my thing. ;)

$450 for a set?! That's an awesome deal. Are they new? If you don't mind me asking, from where did you order them?

Yup, brand spankin' new. It's from a local So. Cali Rota reseller, www.islandmotorsports.com

Has anybody tried Nakayama Zoro 10s? These will fit my 95 Accord and weigh about 2lbs per wheel more than the stock EX wheel. I'm not into 5- to 7-spoke wheels, too common.
