The girlfriend has a Frost White 97 DX and needs some summer time rims and tires. I've been doing some looking around and decided that 15" would most likely be the best bet since this is a daily driven car and needs to still ride pretty comfortable. Also, I don't want to put more strain on the suspension running anything bigger than a 15" rims, seen too many bad things happen with 17" rims, and generally most 17" rims look way to big on a Civic. Anyways...

I'm looking to get something relatively cheap that I won't cry if it gets a scratch on it. We've been looking at Rotas and Nippon Racing rims. Namely these following rims:

Rota Grid (Volk TE37 knockoffs)- White

Rota Slipstream (Spoon Racing knockoffs) - White

Nippon Racing Formula 1 (Volk TE37 knockoffs) - White

We are looking at whites mostly, I but I also think that gold or bronze with or without a polished lip would look really cool too. What do you guys think we should go with?

Oh, sorry. I guess I was more asking if there's any other brands out there for cheap that we should look at. I had never heard of Nippon Racing until I started looking on here and found out that OBX owns them. I just wanted some opinions I guess, wasn't really looking to get flamed.

 

Leaning more towards the gold or bronze at this point. white seems to blend into the car too well and would rather have something that contrasts a little better.

Thoughts?

 

Does anyone know where the best place to pick up Rotas would be? It seems like not many people really sell the Nippon Racing rims either.

 

Check out the marketplace here on H-T.

I would recommend buying from JLB motosports (SN- DRFlickner).

 

Yea, it seems like JLB Motosports has Rotas for the best price besides maybe eBay. I still can't really find a place that sells the Nippon Racing rims though.
