    They look like Rota Subzeros...I don't like them.. They look heavy, without looking tough.

    They're a classic scoob wheel and look good on subtle cars.

    It's also a full-on motorsport wheel, which I can respect - Team Dynamics does nice work. I can think of a few really nice BD's that have rocked those exact rims over the years.

    1) I like it with the center cap installed

    2) You photoshopped it into what I think is more a 16" size. I would think 17 would be larger than that? And would look good.

    I...would pick one hose color and stick with that

    Otherwise...wheel is a classic design, color is decent with red...it's a solid choice. Not really something on the top of my list, but I have weird aesthetics to begin with.

    Oh wow sounds awesome!! Im sure she would be interested!! she doesnt have an SL-I account so why dont I just give you her number, name, age, address, and favorite snack food... I think that would make contacting her easier.

    I can have those wheels for $400 shipped... I'm really tempted now, but I have to decide by tonight. I should probably get some struts first though... mine are shot.

    Why would you be interested in her? According to your avatar it likes like you are into playing with balls.

    Yeah, I always thought some nice 5-spokes would look best (i love the enkei rp-03, but theyre way too pricey)... so after some searching, i came across the kazera kz-b... and this is what that looks like in a 17"



    i think that looks really sweet... agree or no?

    I can barely concetrate on the wheels, but I like the 1st set better. It has that classic rally look to it.

    i like the first set w/ the red lugs. looks good. you should also consider saving up and getting "your friend from college" a ring instead...
