Its all up to personal preference, I have SI's on my coupe and Id probably take that trade, but im not you. As far as color goes, I assume your car is white by your Avatar, Ive always thought bronze or gold looked ood with a white body
But thats personal preference as well

Its personal preference, Also keep in mind tires, if your tires are good and his are not, then don't do it cause you will have to buy tires, but if its the other way around, maybe think about it so you don't have to buy tires. IMO

White is sweet because pretty much any color rim looks good with it. Try something differant and see how it looks might surprise urself. Like Dark purple or something that no one has done yet, u wont ever know for sure till u see them painted on the car.

Once u get rid of them Si wheels it's gonna b hard to find them in MINT condition again for a reasonable price, n trust me u will miss them once u make that trade!!

Keep em and buy a set of them rotas!!!!

They both look good but factory will ALWAYS hold more value n be worth more at the end of the day!!!

It's all personal preference, although personally I've never cared much for Si wheels.

I would keep the Si rims. They are heavy but OEM is always worth keeping. However, Rota will be around as long as high priced wheel companies exist.

How is this thread considered tech? It's like asking "Paper or plastic?".

It really isn't, so I just moved it to wheel and tire.

Where I am at rotas have picked up value and Si's have gone down. My bro just picked up a set of gsr blades(worth more than Si's) for 300. Rotas of any kind are going for 350-500 depending on the condition
