will they look fugly???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting

its cheap enough. i really want to use a later model oem 15" wheel but a lot of locals are picking up on that trend.

 

I dont think they would look too bad

 

eh, not a big fan of white on white.

 

rock em for a while.. and if u get bored paint em.

 

niether am i, but i want to be a bit different without going chrome. thought of black powder coat as well. i wont be using the fugly center cap in that auction though, i think the lat model honda center caps would fit.

 

These are rotas... same difference.

good point

the company is owned by obx, so im not surprised that they ripped off rotas.

they wieght about 14 lbs , is that average?


thanks for the pics!

 

nippon has been around just as long as rota i'd say.

I think Nippon has been said to have a nicer finish than rotas.... but your mileage may vary on that one. These rotas are like 11.8 or 12 something like that.

 

thanks for the info, i thought they may be some el cheap ripoff company, thats why their so cheap.

 

They are probably cheaper... well because they are older. I remember when I frist saw slips, nippon and flik weren't far behind to make their own spoon copies. Also white might not be the hottest color on the market. .

 

hmm decisions decisions.... anyone got pics of white on white

 

I don't like body color wheels.

Looks like an 80's Beretta to me.

 

CAn't complain about my old set up...



Oops didn't check your link... i'd pass on those

 

Dam, I really love that one. Is that Bronze or metallic?

 

if you keep the moldings black and the rest of the trim stock, i think that will break the white up enough to rock some white wheels. but if you are painting the moldings/sideskirts, i think it would look like a white blob...

that's my $.02 though -

 

Not so bad IMO.

I agree...

 

Sorry to bust the thread for a second, but what's the difference of Nipon and Rotas?

definatley keeping the black trim, ive seen all white civics around here and they dont look so good. the only way id make it all white was if it had the full wings west kit.

thanks for all you posts guys

Sorry I overlooked that. Thanks. Pretty sure I'm still going rota. My car's primered, looks aren't on my mind. Not to mention 11.8lbs beats the hell outta my like 22lb or whatever they are...

 

thanks for the vote of confidence, im gonna get these, for the price cant go wrong.

 

also the bore is 56.10mm, will i be able to use a honda center cap?

 

Sure ya can. Duct tape and epoxy It SHOULD fit. Don't quote me though. I guess trial and error that crap.
