Title: Black wheels with red lip?
Post by: jobata23 on October 16, 2009, 02:28:58 AM
i need a quick and honest opinion please! since i cant really decide so i need your inputs, so would black wheels with red lip go with silver car like mine? Or is it too tacky or aggressive? and should i keep my wheels cuz a friend of mine wants to trade wheels with me and he has a perfect set of rota p1 18x8 offset 45, so go for it or not?, i just want an aggressive set for right now until i get the set i want, thx

I'm a fan of the Time Attack color scheme..  but I'm not a fan of Rotas..  I think it would work with your silver..  I've seen time attack colors on a silver car and liked it..

but honestly, i'd wait until you get what you really want. and rock the silverstars until you get the set you really want..  the silverstars look awesome on your car..

are you trading with your buddy for good? or temporarily until you get your new set?  i honestly don't think you should give up your silverstars for a set of Rotas..

Rota's are garbage don't do this. They are weak, and you will end up with a cracked or bent wheel before you know it. If you do want to go with the time attack look save some cash and get the TE 37's.

i like the time attacks but i dont think they'd flow to well with your car.  your current setup is a lot better

Smart move on walking away from the Rotas Mark.  You would have definitely downgraded if you did an even trade.  The time attack thing looks good on certain cars, but it can be a hard look to pull off.

Here's a silver Civic with TA wheels just to give you an idea.

Here's some more pictures of a few other silver cars with TA wheels.
