Dude, the whole thing about Rota's is just to make it look like the real spoon Sw388s or Regamaster Evos!!! I cant stand it how Rota makes a million colors for that wheel! Especially the polished lip ones...or better yet, the entire polished wheel version! blah! Rota's are a great bargain, and are good quality. They make all the OG japanese wheels, more available to us poor folk who are more concerned with the look, rather than the original wheels which are like 3x the price! Seen the new Rota Mugen RNR copy? Just like Tenzos, and they even are making the black with red lip version too!

carbon fiber hood is actually on the way. My friend bented my current hood. So hes giving me money to buy a CF hood. The center caps did look alittle wierd. I wasnt to sure if I was going to use them or not. But the part that where my wheel goes on, the center is all like rusted/fugly. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it or cover it up. Like make the caps all black?

and thanks for the props on the rims. they will look nice when there on my car. I want them on REAL soon, and not just sitting in my living room. ill post pics asap when there on.

and that wing is off now hah

i gave my hubs the krylon touch where they show through the center of the wheel. i didn't like the brassy look, so i painted them "antique bronze" since i didn't have any black laying around.

Yep. a set of Kumho 711's for 172 bucks(195/55/15)... Good street tires and WiNtA BeAtA tires
Getting a set of these for my 95 GSR rims, and once I get my Stern Aguzze's from my buddy I'll slap some Falken Azenis on those.

ALSO
Lugnuts, I don't want silver lugnuts. Can get gun metal or black ones somewhere?

I sold the rims for 450. Turned around and got the Rotas for 400 and still got 50 bucks toward some tires for them. I'm gonna hit up BiG O Tires in town and try and get some tires this week.

Sounds like painting the center isnt a bad idea. just so I dont see that nasty rust/bronze stuff
