Whip needs wheel, can't choose on my own. Rota Haters OUT
Stole this pic, my civic looks just like it ( too dark to get a photo right now)
Any wheel choice is going to be a 16" wheel unless convinced otherwise.\
Happy voting.

Edit: Buy some springs or coilovers next.
Even cheaper than rotas and much cooler looking than any you listed above.
Rotas are sooooo played out, an I regret buying mine. Do yourself a favor and look at these.

If you don't like them, then take a look around on that website for some others.

Definately getting H&R race springs to go with the wheels. Doing wheels and springs at the same time

Re: Whip needs wheel, can't choose on my own. Rota Haters OUT (crstfr14)
please do yourself a favor and find something a little more unique. Even if you go with an inexpensive wheel... why is rota you ONLY choice? I think you should go out on a limb and try something you dont see at least one set of on every thread on this forum 
Just my opinion.

Go to the 003 and check those out.

I'm not sure how much they cost, but they are forged, so they should be a nice strong inexpensive wheel.

H-T typical answer. If he was only looking at Rotas, you're not going to convince him that real deal wheels are the way to go.

Like I said, Rota hater GTFO.
I'm set on rotas, All I asked was for people to pick from my list. Not to change my mind about brands.

well I think you are probably on the wrong track then being that closed minded. Most around here are pretty much sick of seeing the same rotas on every car. Can I ask why it is that you are "set on rotas"?

Re: Whip needs wheel, can't choose on my own. Rota Haters OUT (Hondizzle!)
Because I can afford them. They are a good quality wheel. I like the finishes.
No one where I live rolls on rotas. (West Ga)
It's not like I live in Socal and see rotas every day. It's a rarity anywhere within 100 miles of where I live.

You are not going to get a good answer about Rotas on this site brotha. Maybe you should check out cardomain.com for help with Rotas. I was trying to help you to not make the same mistake I did, but you seem to be pretty closed minded. I am not a "Rota hater," I just learned the hard way that they are a waste of 400 bucks.

I live in ga.... I see rotas everyday I mean its all up to you but I personally would just try and go for something different. You can find a set of buddy clubs or kosei's or something like that for about the same price as rota's.

When I bought my Rotas, the finish was so thin that the edges of every spoke you could see bare metal through the powder coat.

Re: Whip needs wheel, can't choose on my own. Rota Haters OUT (gramsilightz99)
Like I said, I didn't start this thread to make a Rota vs. WORLD thread. Which wheel for $500 would you recommend that has a good customer base, a super wide variety of models and finishes, and will please you?

Re: Whip needs wheel, can't choose on my own. Rota Haters OUT (Hondizzle!)
What about a set of buddy clubs or a nice set of used enkei mesh? I'm not a rota hater but everybody and there mom has all those wheels listed above. I would look for some minty used wheels to try to set my car apart. Just my two cents.
