IMO Go with the flatblack. Its not the same as the spoon though....the spoon isn't glossy and the rota is. The rota gunmetal looks like brown. Go with the flat black. Either way it looks awesome

Why get rid of the ITR wheels i think they look awesome with the SSB and much more unique then the Slips, but if you get them i would go with the flat black or maybe the steel gray ones, IMO Rotas gunmetal color is ugly.

I second that. Does anyone else think that the Slipstreams are a bit plain looking?

keep the ITR's, but if you really really really need a change bad, just paint 'em black or a darker gunmetal.. that should keep you satisfied.

i have slepstreams... i went with flat black.. Also if you get slipstreams get them if possible with out stripped... The powder coat they come with is **** and you should redo them. Thats what i did but i had to pay extra to have them strip it. Anyway... If i had the 5 lug i would have went with the ITR wheels.... You should stick with them.. THey look good.

Gunmetal is nice.....but it's not going to be like the ITR gunmetal. Rota gunmetal is very dark. Looks black.

Here they are in 16" gunmetal on my car.

hey, IMO don't keep the ITR wheels. i think i might be able to get them off your hands if you want. i know it's more trouble than it's worth for me and i could give you a GENEROUS $50 bucks per wheel. But seriously, if you want to get rid of them, send me an IM, im interested.

holy chit man stay with the ITR gunmetal !!
i heard in some lighting the rota gunmetal looks **** brown...
personally..the only thing worth replacing the beautiful itr wheels
are the spoons or mugens or volks MAYBE.
of course the desmond regamaster evo gunmetals are my personal choice.
IMO don't get the rotas..use that money toward a hy-tech or smsp header/exhaust.
