I have a black, '98 GS-R and wondering which wheels you'd go with. The only reason I'm not sold on the Rota's, is because I don't want to hurt resale of the car if/when I sell her.

 

are those your only 2 choices? with either wheel u have posted your resale value will not go up at all.

yes those are my only choices. currently running OEM Blades. i'm not looking to increase my resale value, but i surely don't want to hurt it if i decide to sell my Blades and pick-up a set of Slipstreams.

 

slips.

 

If those are your only choices then I would say keep the blades and paint them gunmetal or nearly flat black (matte black) and leave a silver "wannabe" lip.

You can always strip down the paint and polish the blades and maybe increase its resale value.

BLACK is sexy =P.

 

why not buy some slips and keep your blades to use as backup/winter wheels? if its a money issue (ie trading blades for slips, etc), i would probably get the slips and when time comes to sell your car, buy another set of blades

 

eww black slipstreams

At least pick a different color, or even a different wheel.

 

I like the blades better.

Don't sell your blades. If you really want a dark colored wheel, paint the blades gunmetal.

 

neck and neck!

 

Bladdddes

That's what I said... UGH....

 

red slipstreams

 

Everyone tell him to trade for my wheels!

How nice would Black Group N's with a Red Lip look on his Integra!

 

Painting your blades will drop the resale just as much as putting rotas on.

If you want silver wheels, keep the blades.
If you want another color(and less weight), get some rotas.


Dont worry so much about resale, enjoy your car while you've got it.

NOT TRUE.

You can always use a paint stripper to remove the old paint. Wet sand a little and polish that biznatch! Will look better than original silver.

NRg

 

i'm not the biggest fan of blades, but just keep those.

 

just polish the **** out of the blades

 

i'm really taking a liking to these..



more so than the flat black or my blades.

 

Why would you get flamed? Both wheels would look hot IMO

 

they look like the old prime wheels
