getting new wheels, what color?

[Matrixloader]

so recently my steering has been a little too shaky after 60mph and its due to my rims melting away, my rims ((5zigens) are somehow bent, so im shopping for some new rims. i always wanted advan rgII rims but they are too expensive.

so Im looking at a similar choice here, but what color would look the best? should i keep the gold or something new?

Rota Boost 17x7.5

Rota boost was my first choice... but I didn't have any luck finding them.. I believe they have to be special order.. which takes months to be process...
If they do have the right size.. they might have it in Gold or black with red lips.. that is what I found when I called them.. I did like the look of advan RGII that is why I went with Buddy club SF... pretty light weight with similr looking with advan.. anyway go with gun metal =)

Oh and one more thing.. while I was researching boost wheel.. I heard they bend easily and sometimes spokes break...( I heard in Honda site..)

are yours gunmetal?

[yoodk64]

Yes they are.. I recommand u to get buddy club wheels too. Since they have similr look with boost and they are JDM:).

But if you still like boost, go for it but I'm sure they are hard to find...

[Matrixloader]

yeah yours look really good, but i think the boost look closer to the RGII
my second choice would be to get the p1's but i'll see if someone have the boost first, just can't decide on what color yet.

this silver looks like mine, i think maybe the plain silver would look good too.
there is a Wheel shop here in SD that carrys JDM rims only, i got to stop by and see if they have boost rims so i can see them in person.

Ya.. check first.. it doesn't cost to check so do that :)
Btw Rota isn't JDM wheel..

its not? oh then i guess they wont have them huh. im still gonna check see if there is a local shop that may have them.

hmmm... i looked and some say they are made in Japan some are made in philippines, where ever they are made they look hella good to me.

[yoodk64]

They are from philippines.

If you really want, they told me that it might take up to 6months to process special order..but that is just making.. not include shipping.

[exdtuner]

Check out machiii.net and they may have them

[smileymattj]

due to my rims melting away

told you it was too hot to be driving that car, but NOOOOOO... you wouldn't listen to me.


pics are hard to judge the color because that its not their true color "flaSH, etc distorts color"

I would say steel gray, unless they are darker in real life then go plain.

[SWortham]

Gunmetal, steel gray, or plain silver. On a silver car, you can't go wrong with any of those.

I suppose steel gray gets my vote.

[yoodk64]

Check out machiii.net and they may have them

That is where I checked first.. But I remember they only have in gold or don't have boost anymore.. not sure..Check them out.

Man that car is SEXY!!! The side shot is beautiful.

I Called a place that has them in stock for $650 shipped to my door but they said they only carry them in black with red lip or bronze on a 17" 4x114 lug pattern.
they are in fremont california. http://www.subydude.com/gallery/view.php?query=wheeltype%3Drotaboost&page=1

I kind of like the gunmetal but they don't carry it, im going to see if someone else has it. I think the gunmetal would look sick on the car especially after i get my CF Evo X hood.
machii.net has them listed so i'll give em a call tomorrow and find out how soon could i get them.

there's pictures of the rota boost bent on the internet somewhere

but I say steel grey

[Matrixloader]

yeah i seen them, but then again any aluminum wheel can bend.
i think my 5zigens bent from alot of pot holes that creep up in the night.
