The only thing I could think of would be to DIY spraypaint/powdercoat for a red/black scheme...

But get with Toyomatt84, he is a total wheel ***** and would know anything before ANYBODY.

Rota makes this one http://www.machiii.net/wheels/autox.html I think it's ugly as hell but you might like it.

If you have the cash I would get these https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1767585

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Those are the TE37 Time Attack wheels. I dont think they even make those for the 4x100 BP. I will look into it though. Like Frankie said, be ready to pony up for some of those.

EDIT: they do make them in a 4 X 100 BP, but only in a 15 X 7 +43 size. And they run about 465 bucks a piece retail.

Depending on your current money situation, I would lean away from fake/knock-off rims, as best as possible. Companies, like Motegi, ROTA, DRAG, Tenzo-R, and others produce cheaper built copies of original rims. You'll be stuck with a knock-off that doesn't provide a percentage of the strength that the original does. And, sure you're saving money, but you're not saving yourself if they break on you.

Some historic Red on Black rims:
Work EWING RSZ's
SSR Type X's
Racing Sparco Mesh's
Racing Sparco Viper R's (extremely rare)
Volk CE28N Time Attack's
Volk TE37 Time Attack's
Enkei TBS-I
Enkei CPS-II
... and more...

I've been in cars where the wheels broke, but I've seen it multiple times as well.

It all depends on what you use them for. Weekend warriors, like myself, choose to do AutoCross and other style events, and that's a lot more stressful on the rims, than daily driving. And, ROTA/DRAG/Motegi's seem to be the first to go (and go often).

matt ur making it sound like Rota's break all the time.

I know a whole pile of people on "replica" wheels, and that are just as sturdy as any real deal for daily driving.

Its only in SEVERE conditions that the higher priced will stay strong, such as AutoX, and unexpected potholes.

99% of the rota's made will NEVER have a problem, dont let that be the judge of the rims you buy.

matt doesnt realize that not everyone has 10 grand to spend on super rare JDM wheels( cause hes a wheel *****)

And Matt I WANNA SEE THE STARKS!

Hey, they won't be here until tomorrow.

Also, just because they work fine for daily driver's, doesn't make them look good. I can tell a fake from a real rim, just by the looks. It's like fake sunglasses, why buy Foakley's when you can buy Oakley's and look so much better.

Also, if I get lucky on my eBay selling, I might even be putting a downpayment on some RS-Betas. But, don't hold your breath on that one.

I cant wait to see pics man.

But to the part about "fake wheels" Its not trying to fool people into thinking u have the real rim, hell my Konig's will NEVER be the BBS RS, but they are all i can afford, and are a good rim for the price.

IMO a mint set of Te37 Time attacks, at 425ish per wheel, although sexy are not worth it, when a set of grids at 100 per wheel makes more sense, then u have a BUNDLE of $$ to buy other stuff.


ALso, Stop buying rims and get a Kswap already!

also, u have a pic of this Work RS- Beta, although i remember the name, i dont know if I remember what they look like, for some reason an OZ CP-R type wheel comes to mind, but i dont remember if this is waht they look like or not.

PS Matt buy these Soul Lover wheels from JDMland.com

I want them sooo bad, but damn are they expensive, i havent seen a nice set in AGES and these are mint.



And then there are your starks in silver.

Well, I was thinking about getting some Lover Souls a little while back, but I ended up going with the Pirelli Mesh's, because I love mesh. But, since 4aceM2 has the white Lover Souls (like you posted), I was thinking it would've been funny if I ended up getting them. Here's what I was looking at:


Here's the RS-Betas:

not really a fan of the RS Beta's. For some reason i think that split 6 spoke looks cheap.

Regardless, the black Lover soul's are sweet, 2 bad they didnt have colour lettering on the outside, i love it.

Comparibly speaking, the Black's are a limited number count. I'll go with Black.
