What do you think of these?

tennisfan16 · 10-11-2006, 06:49 PM

I am thinking of getting these for my habi si, be honest, and if you have any other suggestions let me know. I am leaning more toward a bronze/darker bronze wheel. These are the 18x8" Rota Tarmac 3.

His car is Habi red like he said. Haha.

As for the wheels, I just picked up some bronze te37s for my habi red. Have you looked at the Work XD-9s? Those wheels would look sick on your car. I will probably pick up a set of those this upcoming summer....yes, I am a wheel whore.

Zesti1 · 10-11-2006, 07:54 PM

I think the wheels will look good.

XD-9's would look interesting as well.

I was thinking of doing the XT7's on my car, but a friend photoshopped them for me last night and they dont look good @ all.

Might go back to TE37's!!!

tennisfan16 · 10-11-2006, 08:20 PM

those te37's are really expensive

JonLee · 10-11-2006, 08:30 PM

hmmm, the wheels look pretty good now, but i'll hold my opinions till i see them on the car.

Fg2ner · 10-11-2006, 08:44 PM

i think they would look good. The XD-9's might look a little better since the spokes are thicker and thin spokes i dont think look good with how the style of the body is. My te37's should be here on the 25, had to get them in japan since the US has no more, and thats the soonest this place could order them since he's ordering a lot fo wheels. Anyway i think those and the XD-9's would look good. HFP kit?

tennisfan16 · 10-11-2006, 10:48 PM

Jesus, I would have hated to wait for mine. I picked up Type X's old Te37s. Made the deal on Thursday and drove to NY to pick them up on Friday. They are so amazing and light.

Tennisfan: Go with whatever you truly feel you like. Photoshops and everyone's input can help, but in the end, you drive the car. I think anything bronze is gonna look Fn amazing anyway and you seem to have good taste in wheels, so I don't think you will made a bad decision. If I had Photoshop on my laptop, I would do it for you. When are you ordering the wheels? What tires are you going with?

Well I am ordering the hfp lip kit this friday, so I would say within the next month. As for tires I saw that tirerack.com is having a sale on their 225/40/18 eagle f1's for 168 plus when you buy four you get 40 dollars off. So I will probably pick a set of those up. Good choice on mike's old wheels, saw them in person on his car and they looked awesome:)

06Fg2 · 10-11-2006, 11:23 PM

Thanks man. The wheels are pretty sick. I just ordered replacement Volk decals for them....raped me for cash. I am also looking at getting the hfp kit and the F1s, but I am not getting the HFP kit until spring when the Volks go on. I also have a couple other things up my sleeve.

djd84 · 10-12-2006, 09:42 AM

I think those rims will look sick personally, especially after u get the lip kit...cant wait to see a pic after u get everything on

jspecFG · 10-12-2006, 04:07 PM

I think those type of wheels would look good on 240s', on a civic.. its a toss up

Biggeo · 10-12-2006, 04:49 PM

I like those wheels alot, but the lip kit is a maybe.

I took a look the other day when I was at All Jap, and I visually compared Marvie's black Si with a lip kit to the All Jap white car without. The white car looks better IMHO by a mile. Lower your car and maybe, just maybe get a body kit in the future.

All_bets_off · 10-12-2006, 04:51 PM

i don't like the spoke, but i have a habi and that color would look awesome...
