Default New Rota boosts for my DC? Any ideas...post em up if you have them.

I just bought Falken Azenis and was thinking of just buying a set of 15" rims to put them on instead of putting them on my current gsr blades. Was lookin at the Rota Boosts but not sure if they look good on the actual car... heres a pic of what they look like if you dont know. Im thinking of flat black or bronze/gold.


Heres my current setup for wheels...


Other options in the back of my head would be the Rota torque or circuit 8/10's

Its a mugen gen 1 wing but yeah its black... im putting the tires on tomoro and seein how i like it. The main reason to get them is so i can use my blades with winter tires and then have the rotas with the falken tires for summer wheels. They're cheap and i think they look pretty good. Blades are nice but dont give it that modified look, just clean which is ok but i want a bit more aggressive look, especially with the intercooler and everything in now (pic isnt up to date BTW).

Im gonna do autocross for the chuckanut sports car club in bellingham here pretty soon so i think ill just stick with the 15's for now. JLB has more in stock than they have pictured. Im getting my car aligned right now so i gotta figure out what i want to do with the tires so far i like the rota's a lot.

Anymore final pics? I cant seem to find any.

nut uh. the welds are .5mm closer to the edge of the rim, and the spokes are shifted slightly to the left of the lug nut holes. duh. they look like ****. plus, they are like 2 pounds heavier than the real wheels, which equates to mad weight savings y0.

only HT people know that. i bet if he bought these and took them to a show, no one would come up to him and be like "those aren't rg2's, look at the lug nut holes, they are shifted slightly to the left, oh and they look like they are 2lbs heavier."

gtfo, dumbass.

Ouch i guess you dont like rota's... i dont think they are that bad and yes they are a bit different but whatever, the whole point is there cheap. Pretty much im buyin wheels for my tires i dont give a rip what the wheels are just somethin cheap that looks good.

The torques are 450$ shipped yet the Work emotion CR's are 811$ shipped... big price difference for just a pound or two lighter.
