Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims

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.

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims

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

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims

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

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims

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.

My Grids are already on order (read above ) 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?

Re: Why is it so hard to chose rims

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.
