New Rota Boost Wheels (UPDATED!)

I love coming home from my internship and finding parts for my R18 that I ordered online waiting for me. Today it was my wheels, Gunmetal Rota Boosts 17x7.5 +45. I can't wait to get them on, I have to wait till friday to get tires because I'm so busy, it sucks, but I'm only paying $250 for tires mounted, balanced, and installed so it will be worth the wait.

UPDATE-

It only cost me $140 bucks plus some extra green to get tires on my Boosts

I sent you a PM about the wheels but I may as well let everyone else know as well. I got my Rotas from 18racing.com and got them for $650 shipped to me, I was looking at these on wheeldude.com and they are $700 shipped I believe. I was also looking on ebay and they were $650 plus another $150 for shipping so 18racing was the best price I could find. These wheels are really light too.

It took me so long to decide on wheels because I don't have alot to spend, but I saw these on this RX8 and I knew how sick they would look on my FG.

Night shots on friday probably then day shots on saturday and I'll get them up as soon as I can. Check out this RX8 with them.

Yea I know they are reps. It was funny after I ordered them I saw an old copy of Super Street lying around that had the hyper lemon z cover story that was an AWD conversion 350z and I looked at the wheels and they are def exact except they were gold. Then when I went to look the up to see how much they were it was like $450 per wheel for the advans. I think I got a decent price haha.

I havent seen these on a coupe yet but i have seen them on an si sedan. They look good on all the cars i have seen them on thus far, which is strange cause i'm real picky when it comes to wheels matching cars well.

$650 including tires? Good wheels.

4-6 weeks waiting is not that bad compare to 3 months for Volks
