Opinions: Refinish UKWRX17's or sell?

[peugoby]

I either want to get two of my UKWRX17's refinished which is going to be about $300 or sell them for about that much and buy some Rota Boost in 17x8 in hyper black.

Can I get some opinions on what you guys think would look better?

what color are they?

I don't know, other than the UKDM-ness of the things, I never found them that attractive. They're also 17x7 and a 55mm offset so they're pretty much useless to me as I can get something wider, around the same weight, and can accomodate a wider range of brake packages for the same price of what those sell on the use market...

But if you like the design, you'd be hard pressed to find some decent used wheels for the cost to refinish them...

I think they look great on your car so I'd say keep 'em.

The UK WRX are unique! Boost are sick tho and wider. Hard call.

All good points. I do personally like the design of the UK's on a BD. I'm a little timid to fit an 8" wide on a 225 under a BD. I don't rub at all on a 7" on 225.... its a tough call

Almost forgot the Boosts in hyper black will be brand new from wheeldude.com. They're $700 + shipping.

well if you want to save a little cash oakos does $700 shipped for the boost, but they don't have hyperblack in stock though.

I'm using my Advan's as winter wheels as I like being able to run a taller side wall and narrower tire in the winter. That would be a pretty sweet winter rim though :razz:

[Huffer]

^^ you're a baller if you're using Advans for winter...:P

[rougeben83]

I'm using my Advan's as winter wheels as

:shock: :shock: I don't think you want them. I dunno if they'd clear your brake set up. They're 16x7 et48. If you have some 17's that you want to get rid of though let me see 'em!

[Airgne]

no your uk 17's

[peugoby]

no your uk 17's

Sorry Bro I was talking to Ben. If I decide to sell them Brandon I'll call you first! I'm sorry your Legacy's are giving you problems.
