Rim Choice!!

[kwjhduibd]

i have a Blue MP3 and i was wondering what you think would look better i am going to a lighter wheel and smaller diameter. here are my selections

GT3 Black with Polished lip or gunmetal with polished lip

Rota Grid either gunmetal with polished lip or Cosmic blue *but dont know if having a dark blue wheels would work with a bight blue car*

The Rota's with the steel gray and polished lip, or no polished lip.

They are available in "cosmic blue"? I'll have to go look for a pic of that. From those choices I'd go with the Rota Grid in gunmetal.

i i have any money to throw away i would go for some bronze rota grids in 16, yes 16, i dont want to show that much of my drums =(

 

[kwjhduibd]

i was planning on gettin 16's cause im not gonna do a big brake kit anytime soon and i would like to go down a rim size.. and yes they offer a Cosmic blue i saw it on a website i yahoo searched and it showed the rim color like 1 or 2 times and it is a very deep blue color

 

[-pixy-]

have you concidered bronze? Bronze looks best on Laser Blue, imo.

get the rotas!!! I see those damn gt3's on every other civic down here in houston. its gotten to where i cant tell the civics apart anymore.

here is the grid in blue

 

[Kansei]

That could look really good depending on how it flows with the lazer blue. You'd really have to see the wheel in person to know though, it might look terrible.

the blue is nice but I dont know about it on a blue car.

It would probably look better than yellow though. (peep)

imo i think yellow looks best with black, but its played. i was goin to get the gt3 in red, but it doesnt look as good as red gt3s on a white teg(thats hott). the grids look better on the 240 if u get the low offset. but imo i dont like the grids on proteges.... just doesnt flow as well as other rims. i think the slip streams look better than the grids. but idk grids look alright with the right color combo, but ya no blue with blue rims doesnt look to good.

i was thinking of slips but everyone around town has those and i think there kinda plain and wanted something different.. ill prolly end up with the GT3's or grids in black with a polished lip cause currently my MP3 racing hearts are painted graphite and dont look bad..

o and whats the normal off set for a protege is it 40 or more?

rota grid...gunmetal!

 

[kwjhduibd]

would a 40 off set be fine or do i need more or less?

Check the wheel fitment guide in the rims/tires/suspension forum but I think you'll want to look for a higher offset, more like a +45. I know there are people that run 40mm though but it'll probably be tight.
