I'm sure this is a quality part... every part of the listing screams "LEGIT & PROFESSIONAL" dont ya think????? Me either!

Anyone else notice the header says RED oil cap.... later in the listing, it says color:gunmetal.

Sad part is, he'll probably sell a S**t load of those things to a S**t load of idiots.

The funny thing is there are idiots that keep this guy in business. Just like the other oil caps that say STi or HKS and so on lol. I know a few people here have the "STi" cap, I seen it! :lol:

I know it's not actually an STi oil cap, but I have considered buying one because some of them actually look nice. And they're not expensive.

I'd like to repaint the stupid yellow caps in the engine bay to red or blue or something...

I painted all the caps black, and those "sti" caps aren't bad if you don't put on the cheesy sticker. Then it's a decent aluminum cap that seals well for $5.

I had a blue STi cap on my STi and it looked good. I am a little embarrased to say though that my Leg is sporting a polished STi cap that I bought for the STi first before getting the blue one. I know it looks somewhat out of place on a Leg, but IMO it looks better than the stock yellow plastic cap.

I wish Password sold Subie stuff :-(

BTW I order 18 of these oil caps. Just because they're JDM, along three sets of these:

$425 shipped? I would strongly question the quality... Name brand wheels of that size cost a minimum of $1200 before taxes/shipping...

ROTA makes good stuff for pretty cheap =]

true, but not that cheap... where can you get 18's for less than $300 for all 4 wheels? That's what these are...

goto Ebay and search for ADR wheels and see what I mean... Remember that saying "when it sounds to good to be true..."

well cool to see somebody actually knew what i was talkin about. yea it is a bummer they dont have any suby stuff, but they do have a pretty damn good collection of honda junk.

:|

Yeah I used to look up tons of stuff for my 92 Integra I had. Before the BE I was seriously looking into a used RSX (ooohhhh the JDM possibilities...)and selling the BD, but I felt I'd miss driving a Subie too much, and I think I made the right choice :grin:

I bought my Rota's for $340...with tires. :wink:

Used though :smt005


Anyway, yeah, ADR's are good cruising rims. If you want something that looks pretty nice on a budget they'll do just fine...just don't expect them to be BBS's or high-end Enkei's or something...

^ Those Rotas are hot. You just need clear corner headlights to complete the look. :razz:

yes, but those aren't 18's either... Plus ROTA is known, and has decent quality product.

It seems like we're having this same argument on Nasioc. Isn't that interesting :lol:

Well to be honest, I knew about ADR's more than Rota's...though mainly because ADR does support a wider variety of imports (mainly the FWD compact market). The point is though, they've been around for a while, so it's not like they make absolute trash. If you have to absolutely buy new (an argument that I'll save for another day), and you are on a real tight budget for your daily driver, then ADR's make good sense.

Heck, I run Volution 17" wheels on the MPV in NYC; I drive that through potholes and more bad roads than most people have driven on this side of the US, and it's still perfectly fine after 2 years.

I've been thinking bout buying some Centerlines for my GT-B. 17X7's at 12 lbs. ea., forged and about $550 for all four. I bet the "JDM" people will be all upset about me putting hotrod wheels on a Legacy.

My brother has 18" ADR wheels on his Eclipse. Took them to a tire shop to have new tires put on them and they cracked one of the wheels around the hub/lug area. They're ordering a replacement now. Just something to think about, because I never had that trouble out of my MBMotorsports wheels, and I think I got those from Discount Tire Direct for like $130 each, and free shipping.

I've never heard of a wheel cracking unless it was due to an accident, large pot hole, or some other form of abuse... There isn't much force being put on the wheel when mounting a tire. You would put more force on it taking a corner in your car. That's really what you need to think about.
