the wheels are 15x6 (weight at around 14-15lbs), fully forged and anodized design






other wheels which were on the car:
bronze 97 spec GSRs (15x6" = 15lbs)

Power Racing R1 (advan RG look) (15x6.5" = 12lbs)

BBS RG (15x6" = 12.8lbs)

Rota SlipStream (15x6.5" = 12lbs)

 

sorry to say but I don't really like the Sparco rims at all. The are real oldschool..

another reason is because over here, they are one of the cheapest sets of rims you can buy (ridiculously cheap if you buy them second hand). also, all the riceboys here buy them and put them on their rides. even old "conservative" people buy them and put them on their cars too because they're so cheap, and because they think they look cool (these people leave their cars at stock height too, i'll leave that to your imagination)

If it was me, out of all the rims you showed above, I would have stuck with the rota's.. it gives the car a much more scary and agressive look.. just my opinion, no offence.

 

i don't see how you can say that the ns-IIs are shittier looking than the rotas... i personally like them... although i can't stand people w/ fucked up looking cars rocking oldschools...

on a different note... to the hatch!!!

Old school sparcos. Heavy as flock tho.

 

i really like the bbs wheels

 

Why were you using "flash" on a sunny day like this?

 

All i have to say is KICK ***! That is an old school racing wheel that is very rare and kicks major ***...major props man you have good taste

 

Right click and saved that picture for sure..damn clean!

 

one of my favorite wheel!

 

me TOO!

 

I have to say out of all the wheels you have had so far, the BBS are my favorite. I am a true mesh-wheel fan. But, the Sparco wheels are amazing. When comparing the two, I look at it like two hot women. You can't really get any better looking, just different looking.

 

thanks guys

defintly keeping the slips and GSRs and most likly BBSs

Sparcos are for sale first $415US or $675 can takes them (just wheels)

me three~!

 

hmm they look a little weird, but at least its sumptin different
if thats a red polished lip on those rims i would suggest maybe painting the interior of the wheel a dark gun metal grayish color or maybe black

bbs looks great

 

does anyone know of any other rims with a similar style ? ( red ban and different color spokes )

Where can i find a set ?
where can the sparco be ordered from ?

 

I had my Volk NRS wheels powdercoated and didn't think twice about it. I guess if you're buying wheels just to say they're "rare" and "JDM", then you might not agree with this. BTW, those Sparcos are far from being rare.

 

old school rims are funky fresh

i have the 15" BBS's on my 92 hatch too! i didnt think anyone else had them because mine were off a Miata. looks good though, i had my center powdercoated black and the lips high polished. they are way old but i will never give them up to another rim!

 

those rims make your car look mean! trust me, why keep the SLIPS and look like everyone else when you can have REAL "made in japan" rims that have QUALITY? IMO keep the rims.....

is nice and refreshing to see an EG NOT look like everyone elses.....also the mesh looks good too....but i say stick with those sparcos.......and they are the NSII 2 piece rims right? those are lighter than the 1 piece NSII for sure...i had a set of both...

 

Props, your car looks good bro, especially the ITR front lip. Was never a big fan of Sparco's, but those look clean on your car. I think one of the reasons I didn't like them that much back in the day, is because all these fake ones started coming out, and everybody had them cause the fakes were super cheap. I see the same thing happening now with all the replica's that Rota is producing. No offense to anybody running Rota's, I used to have a pair also, but damn they're played in San Diego.

 

Damn Adrian...i dunno how you do it, but you always have the nicest rims around....makes me jealous...

 

Those BBS meshies own me .

 

i like the bbs

 

I want some bbs mesh too, where do you get them?

 

wheel *****!
