Decided to get a different wheel, but what color?

Hey guys i've been trying to save up for some Work Meisters S1-2Ps, but its not going to happen, and i don't have enough money to be doing that. Lol i'm not BALLER like some other people.

So i've decided to go with Rota P45F 18x8.5 +35 =] or 18x8 +48

Now which color? [I have a GG]

Gunmetal with lip


Gun Metallic w/out lip


Bronze w/out lip


Sports Bronze w/out lip


sorry about all the colors, I know they are all similar, but i'm not sure if I want a lip or not.

So do you think I should go with the 8.5 +35 or 8 +48?

You have a 9" +30 right? and you had to hammer in your rear fender liner? still rub? or did you get your fenders rolled?

gun metal with no lip. Lips can look tacky.

either color with no lip would be sweet.

Please post up some pics when you get them... I've been contemplating these for a while.

I sure will, but someone already has them on there TW si, but he has T/a style and yah i seen your thread when i was searching these wheels. You want the cosmic blue ones right? I honestly thing you should go with the Sport Bronze, but heres the pic of the TW si.

this is a guy who photoshopped them


anddddd here are the pics of the one that has the T/A style

Thanks for the pics man...

Yeah i was thinking about the blue just to be different... I haven't seen anyone with them on a RR SI.

If I were to get them, I would most likely get the sports bronze... but I have been a fan of flat back on red!

Thanks!

No problem. now i just can't wait till i get the wheels. I think i'm going to go with the Gunmetal since it'll match the theme i'm going for.

The P45s are knock offs of Nismo LM-GT4 wheels, kinda weird on Hondas IMO. The wheels also won't be concaved like the pics above.
