Which of these few anyway. Seeing as how I don't and won't have money for Volks and I definately don't want to wait for Tein or JIC. I'm thinking of getting Skunk2 coilovers and some cheaper wheels to satisfy my need to mod for a while. Just to let you guys know, I'm not really interested in Rotas since I see them too much and anyone can get their hands on them. So here are a few of my choices....
These ASA wheels

These BBS

Even considered Tenzo's

Pro Racing N1
Mainly the bronze (because it's a darker bronze)

Bronze up close (I know the pic is of a 4x100, but they come in 17x7.5, 5x114 +48 or +45 offset 17x8 is also available) go to
Bozz Performance

So give some feed back fellas. I'm honestly leaning more towards the ASA (for their clean original look) or Pro Racing N1's (for the JDM lover inside me) Thank in advance for you responses....good or bad;)
 
I like the bronze Black Racing Pro N1s, they remind me of the Advan RGs. Besides, those are the only JDM wheel you listed! Gotta go JDM!

I like those the best, whichever they are...
 
I like the ASA's they look pretty good on the mazda's. if not those then how bout a set of bronze OZ supperleggra's.

If given the choice of the rims you posted I would get the BBS wheels, they'll never go out of style, but those wheels are at the volks price range.

Have you considered the ASA LS5:

I'm not sure if they have the correct lug pattern, but a pretty inexpensive and high quality wheel IMO. Those are one of the wheels that I'm considering for the miata.

Those wheels are gold, not bronze, and they only come in Subaru WRX fitment.

Sorry, im not that great at colors, being half blind doesn't help either.....i would think that they have those in the protege offset and bolt pattern...tire-rack lists the gunmetal/silver, which ever it is, in our size....i hope they fit anyways as those are the wheels im making my tire/wheel plans around.
 
I agree with Redwagon about the price of the BBS and I thought about that before I posted them as a possibilty. I don't like the ASA LS5 because I see them a lot around my area and they're kinda old. I have yet to see the ASA FR1's anywhere, of course that could be for a reason :(. I mainly considered the FR1's for the clean spoke and slightly polished lip look. I also was thinking of having the spokes painted dark bronze.

I'm really leaning towards the Black Racing Pro N1's in dark bronze or black now. From what I remember, the price isn't that bad too. I just need to solve a possible fitament issue.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the gold OZ Racing Superleggera's are avalible as a subaru only fitment! They do this with a lot of gold rims as most people, except subaru owners, don't like the look of gold rims (it's a WRC rally car thing) I was looking at getting those too but was disappointed when I found out I couldn't. Now the gray or "tuner silver" as OZ calls it is in fact avalible in our fitment.

What color is your ride? I guess either Blue or Yellow I would go with the Pro N1's in Bronze/Gold, but I think it would look better if you have a blue ride.
Actually the first wheel isn't bad, looks pretty tight. But I would forget about the BBS and the Tenzo's.

And Yes it is sad but true about the Bronze OZ Superleggera's, they are for Scooby's only :( I wanted those sooooooo Bad! But oh well.

My car is yellow. Yesterday I went to a local shop who just so happened to have all 3 colors of the Black Racing N1's. Anyhow, the Bronze ones are identical in color to the Volk TE-37's. The Flat Black ones are just that, Flat Black. They have more of a rough texture to them than the Rota Slipstreams or Sub Zero's flat black. I definately want and am planning to get the Bronze ones. I'm waiting on my first check that will include my pay raise in it. The next choice will be what tires. I am thinking about the new Yokohama's AVS ES100
 
N1's racing in black.... super cool black powdercoat on those whings with the racing yellow style letters. Just like le mans and nascar
 
OK, I just called Bozz Speed in Fremont, CA and got a per wheel price for the Black Racing N1's. OMFG, I cannot believe how much they want for those things. :eek: And you guys thought Rota's were a bargain. I just hope no one else buys them first.
