Bronze Volk TE-37's. Timeless design and styling. Strong wheels as well. Pricey, but worth it if you've got the loot. The bronze looks badass on black ITRs.

the Rota C8's look a lil' off compared to the MF8's. because the center cap lip flares out on the Rota C8's, where the MF8's doesnt have a flare. does rota make a MF10 knock off?

First sell the red carbon fiber dash kit and red face gauges, then tune the car.
Then worry about wheels.

My freind and I discussed this last night. FOr $1600 you can get some spoon's or volks or for $450-$500 shipped you can get a set of rotas that weigh only 2-3 lbs more. ANd when you curb/bend one you can buy a whole new wheel for the price of repairing a volk or spoon. THe price vs the weight makes Rrota a really great buy. I read what someon said about the lip on the rota being different but other than the handful of people that know that if you don't run a rota center cap no one would even know the difference.

Just my thoughst.

I agree. If you you mistreat your wheels, then just get some knock-off's. However, if you take care of your wheels, I would definitely spring for Mugen MF-10's. To me, fitment and quality is a top priority in deciding any purchas I make.

I would agree but my wife does drive the the R as well. She drives it to work cause it is 6 miles to her work and 35 miles to my work. ANd other than curbs she drives the car very well . . .

And you can CURB THE **** out of rotas and get only a slight bend.

-Dave, who knows from experience.... the second hard hit didn't even bend it more
