I'd get a set of amber ones and be able to swap them as you please.
I would also keep your 90-91 tails and just buy a set of 92-93 so as your want you can wear either. looks good overall
I still HATE ROTAS

they are cheap cast wheels that have strong tendencies to bend/break.
Forged wheels don't have this problem.

too bad about the whole side molding thing...just looks a little strange w/o them.

and STFU about the ROTA thing; the whole debate is DEAD.

Nice project man.

Inch lower will look much better. Im not a fan of the shaved sidemoldings but it flows here. Wheels and headlights look awesome.

I will...they buy them because they are cheap and easy to replace when they do break them and if they come into the right circumstances they will. I've never owned ROTAS and I never will. I owned a set of KONIGS once and i had 7 of them. 4 bent ones and 3 "good" ones. Worst investment ever. Since i've owned Forged wheels i've never bent or broken one.

Make me cocksmoker. Cast wheels are weak. i don't care if they are Rota or Drag or Tenzo R they are shitty. Keep buying their shitty wheels and perpetuate the industry of replicas. Would you take a replica heart or lung instead of paying for a real transplant? Retard
