Default to Rota or not to Rota....

let me know what your basic opinions on how these rims will look on my 91' crx. exterior mods are basic and include a jdm front end, lowered 2.25"F/2.00"R, keyless door handles and brembo cd/slotted brakes. the rims will be fitted with falken azenis sports' and most likely ordered in whatever black is avaiable. Pics are welcome but facts/opinions/ideas/etc. about Rota as a company are not. this thread is about how three designs i have chosen will look on my car not about fads or any other drama tied with rims...if you cannot post under these guidlines fell free to not post at all!

my car ---> https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1085041 <----

the winner!!!



now who's got pics?

most of the crx has is still bathed in the factory white (whatever the name is) paint, the front jdm fenders are black, the jdm hood is white, the jdm front bumper is a dark blue/black combo.

A lot of people will tell you to ditch the Slipstreams as they are played out; others will tell you to pick what you feel looks better as it is you who drives it everyday; I am just going to tell you why I picked my Slips - The color I aquired them in matched the stock hubcap color perfectly, accented the car but didn't dominate, and it was cheap and lightweight. Remember, it is your choice in the end, use your best judgement.

That thing is 4x4 stlyle, not slammed. 16s are to large of a wheel for a rex. IMO

C8's or Gab copies are my choice's from the rota lineup

I'd go for the Slipstreams....there's a reason they're the favorite wheels of alot of people. Cheap, lightweight, inexpensive, good looking. What more do you want. Slipstreams all the way. But of course, its YOUR choice. Go with what you like the best.
