Default Asking for your advice on a wheel choice

Ok guys I have a my00 in silverstone. I recently sold my advan rg's and am now searching for new wheels. I was trying to move away from the gold/silver combo, but I have been tempted to buy volk le28's in gold.

I want your opinion on how this set up would look, if you think it will look like crap say so. When I had the gold advans on, people either hated it or loved it. I just got tired of the set up.

Your input is appreciated

-Alan

m7's.... I wish, what are they going for now in the nsx fitment? 5g's

I'm way ahead of you on the ssr idea, but I can't find anyone that carries them since they are changing ownership. Although Rota is comming out with fake ones

maybe i'll just put the money into gears instead, stock wheels aren't THAT bad

I've got a SS, as well. I really like the darker grey (gunmetal) combo. I personally don't like polished lips. If I get some, I'll post pics.

And the LE28's are an excellent choice.

Tirerack said it will be a few months before tanabe releases any wheels, and that they are not sure if the same wheels will be available.

Gunmetal looks hot Black and gold both look good to me also. Its wierd how when i had the gold rg's though, every girl I knew said the color combo was ugly

tanabe themselves have stated that they will continue to produce the current lineup of ssr wheels.... (this was before they purchased ssr)

so unless they've decided otherwise since that time..... you'll be seeing the same set of wheels + new designs...

The polished lip will make either the black or gold mesh well with your car

Cool they didn't tell me that. Maybe I'll just wait for them to start production again.
