Which rims should I get?

[tunersteve]

Guys,

I've been looking for new wheels for some time now, and in the next few weeks I'm gonna be getting a set of 18s, but I'm still debating between a few styles. The choices are;

Rota Tarmac II in Full Royal Black
Konig Imagine in Gloss Black


I think most of you have seen my car, and the color/design scheme of everything. Opinions are welcome, as well as suggestions for other wheels to look at.

Thanks to Pirana for the last picture.

Nah, I really want 18s for my car, otherwise I would.

I don't see "Full Royal Black" as an option on the Rotas but I like the style better.

It's not shown in the picture, but if you look at the Full Royal Gunmetal its very similar, except replace the gunmetal with gloss black. The only place I've seen a pic is www.subydude.com, but its Flash based, and i couldn't copy the picture over.

That's cool. I think it will go well with your paint scheme.

Rota's get my vote.

Any of the black Rotas will look nice, but you want 17s. You will regret 18s.

I was thinking that, too. But I figure he's a big boy and it's his kidneys (and wheel lips) that are going to get damaged.

Thats something I've come to terms with. Although the women might not like it, I can deal with it.

I emailed Rishie @ Auto RND earlier today about the Rotas. If I can get them relatively soon, then those will be the ones I order. If I can't get them, I'll be going to Discount Tire and getting the Konigs. They carry Rotas there, but when they called the manufacturer, that color wasn't available and they had no idea when they would be.

just make sure that the rotas have the correct hub bore.

I got my Rotas from Richie, and they look perfect on my P5, in 17s.

just make sure that the rotas have the correct hub bore.

How exactly do I find that out, and what is the magic number for our cars?

What's the aspect ratio going to be on those tires? 35? 30?
