Default Undecided on which rota wheels for my ek coupe

Well pretty much what the topic says.
I have a black 97 ek coupe converted to 99-00 style and im stuck on which set of rotas to get, i like 3 of them but this is the 2nd time i am unsure again.
I am looking between the rota gt3, the circuit 10, and the j mag, also which color choice with either of the 3 wheels ?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated guys.

i hate to be an *******, but there are so many examples of these wheels on EKs whether they be real or rota replicas. I honestly can't understand how you are having difficultly making your own decisions on what your likes and dislikes are and how to spend your money . With that said, I recommend you buying gold or bronze circuit 10s and an opinion

the circuit 10s are close enough, and i'm pretty sure they come in different offsets and widths so the fitment or stance is totally dependent on the OP and how much work he is willing to put it in to make his car look good.

Rota circuit 10s in bronze in a 16x7 size.

id run black lugs red might be to flashy for the wheel and car setup. black lugs will match the car as to where red doesnt really fit with anything on the car

I saw a pic of this integra and love the way it looks :

I want something like that but not as spaced outwards as those, a little less.
Those are grids, like +20 or something. According to the website, the C10s dont come in anything less than +38. which is a standard fitment.

Why Rotas? why supports companies like these. Go with the BUDDY CLUB P1 RACING II or the new P1 RACING SF, For maybe 100-150 dollars more you get real quality wheels made in Japan and support innovators in the industry.
BUDDY CLUB SF





BUDDY CLUB P1 II plus http://www.buddyclub.us/~OldSiteContents/

i dunno how much rota cost but i can get you these wheels starting at $390 plus shipping. Pm me if you're interested

i dont like rotas either, but i wouldnt call a company that only sells like 4 different variations on a 6 spoke wheel (Buddy Club) an innovator in the wheel industry..

but they do make alot of other good products..

maybe Volk or Work would be a better example in this situation...

I wasn't talking about they being wheels innovators more like in general. And they are innovators you're kidding me right? Plus Given that the wheels are an original design and not a blatant copy would clearly put them in innovator category haha.

Why would i mention Volks or Works when the guy is looking for rotas, i figured he has a 300-500 budget. Would you recommend a Ferrari to a person that walks in a KIA dealer?
