the great dilemna of my life.

***MFDOOM44*** · 03-23-2008, 09:17 PM

as of this moment i'm 90% sure i'm gonna settle for a set of rota torques...but i'm torn between white and hyper black. if i get them in white i'd wanna get red lugs and maybe even add a red pinstripe around the wheel. and if i get hyper black i'd just get black lugs. what does everybody think? i drive a tw coupe with full hfp, jdm H emblems and bbm hfp lip overlay btw.

or

and please, no rota bashing...im not gonna dish out acouple g's for cr-kais when i can basically get the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

No Red Lugs!!!

Kurt · 03-23-2008, 09:39 PM

I love Rota's.

and I love the Torques.

Get the white ones with red lugs, that'll look hot

Wierdochild89 · 03-23-2008, 10:11 PM

The first one is HOT

***BLouIsGod*** · 03-23-2008, 10:13 PM

Id be interested to see what the white would look like.

pkkid · 03-23-2008, 10:14 PM

Either colour is great on a white car..

whtdvl · 03-23-2008, 10:15 PM

hyper black reg lugs FTW

yeah, i was actually debating on that but for some strange reason i just couldnt picture it in my head. hyperblack is such a great color

osohormiguerro · 03-23-2008, 10:35 PM

white on white is clean. just don't get any curbing done.

no rota bashing, but you can't call it practically the same as authentic works.

yeah i know what you mean. i'm sure real works are better in quality but i don't think rota's are horrible in that category...they are a pretty big company now. i don't think cr-kais come in hyperblack anyways...or do they?

Bananasplit · 03-23-2008, 11:22 PM

Oh! I didn't even know Rota Torques came in white. I feel so swayed to grab a set of white ones now. I've always thought white on white looks clean. I'm just worried about keeping them clean but that's just a petty concern. As for lug color, I don't know what color lugs look good on a Taffy. I guess it depends on the color of the wheel too but when the wheel AND the car is white, I'd have to see some pics.

07Rredsi · 03-23-2008, 11:26 PM

There is a member on the site with a white torques on a TW.

07Rredsi · 03-23-2008, 11:28 PM

Here is a link to pics: Taffy Squared: Gonzo & Nomar Nighttime (and now daytime) shoot

-Two TW's on white wheels. One of them are HFP's and the other Torques.

Bananasplit · 03-23-2008, 11:38 PM

Oh yeah! I know I've seen the one with the painted HFPs. Both look gorgeous. I also think that uncolored lugs look perfectly fine on white. I really love the red centercaps though. Maybe the red lugs with red centercap? No idea what that would look like.

looks pretty badass. he should get the HFP kit and a drop! they remind me of DC5 type-r wheels

07Rredsi · 03-23-2008, 11:40 PM

^ Very similar!

mattsbobo · 03-24-2008, 10:05 AM

I ALMOST got the white Torques, with red lugs. I ended up getting white Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's, with red Rays lugs

I say you get the white torques with red lugs (since that sounds like what you really want

)

Tokyosmash! · 03-24-2008, 10:24 AM

I never liked Torques on Si's after seeing DC5 Type R wheels on one. I'd go with white though.

A guy came to the NC Meet, and had a TW FG2 (like mine

) and had the white DC5 wheels. I thought they looked freakin sweet, and was definitely jealous.
