Default Rota GRID versus Esses / SpeedMaster Orange

***SEE PAGE 2***

There's a ~2lb difference in the wheels (weighed them). Part of me wants the orange, but the rational part of me desires performance and decent looks

mix and match! put one of each on then grab a friend with a civic and steal one of his steelies and you would be hella set. I say go with orange because its not what i see every day plus the ssr design owns. then again i have a really ugly car....

edit: ^^ that guy up there had my idea, i didn't copy i promise

The Grids to me just look classic. Very DTM.

The orange..."unique" It's a shop car, so part of me says "go extreme" ... I'll probably hang on to them and throw them on for kicks sometimes

Go with the orange tweak, to help decide take a picture with only the grid infront and only the orange in front.

Yeah I might do that, thanks.

I priced out having the Orange wheels redone and it would be about $80 a wheel for them to be professionally worked. I could do them myself but I don't know how long they'd last.

Like I said before...Grids for street, Orange for track.

Forget the weight difference, which one is more JDM y0?!?!?!?!

haha sike, anyway, I say go with the orange. It'll match your ambers, plus it's unique in a non-ugly way. The wheel design is nice too. Rota Grids are nice too, but I like seeing them on cars that are dumped. For some reason they make cars look higher than they are.

PS..
Got any 98+ R Lips for sale? To make a long story short, I fucked my car up REAL bad and I might not need my 97 one. I'll PM you when the time comes, if it does come.

I'm assuming the Speedmasters are lighter? What is the actual weight of the wheels?

I say go with the lighter ones, but either one will look sick.
