Default which rims?! i can't decide!

I'm sorry about this poll but my car is in the shop right now cause a Metro Bus had an engine that blew and I ran over some kind of gears while on the freeway. It cracked my two right side rims in half and I need to get my alignment/suspension checked as well. They are re-embursing me for it with $1900.

Thanks!

the bronze matches your body color well. very clean.

OT: but anyone know where in the LA area to get some magnetic #'s printed up?

Thanks... I had "permanent" stickers on the rear side windows, but they got removed, anyway, you can get premade magnetic numbers here: http://www.edecals.com/raceg/scca.htm
I'm getting a set next. Just be sure to tape down the leading edges.

i have the 16' rota slips black on my black prelude... 45 profile tire or 50 profile is a go0d match...they are nice rims...but if you have a little more money to spend...go with some te-37's by volk, but for the price cant go wrong with the rota's!

Rota slipstreams

I personally like the Rays Engineering wheels, but because of their priceyness, I am not a candidate of being an owner of any of their wheels any time soon. For your car, I say you go for the LE37's or the TE37's. If you want send me a pic of your car and I will photochop some wheels on it. I am such an amateur at Adobe PS, but I like to play around with the program. Edit: Keep in mind that if I photochop, you will have no rotors or calipers! Good luck making your wonderful wheel decision!

Here's my favorite: (Lucas, a.k.a. specialque's ride)

yes! finally someone that agrees with me!


i mean, i know the price makes them very attractive, and i will probably be rocking some c10s for my drag radials, but please do not compare rotas to the higher quality forged wheels. the finish and quality is not even in the same league.
