cancel the rota order and go here VVVV

any one of these sites will have used wheels in good shape for slightly more than you will pay for the rotas, and the resale value (if you were to spend some time and refinish them) would be higher than the initial purchase price. A set of legit wheels is never a bad investment, because it is exactly that... an INVESTMENT.

I had 6, count 'em, 6 sets of wheels on my TSX in 1 years time. All of which I sold for the same price or higher than what I purchased them for. Just takes a little extra effort to clean up an abbused wheel. You will be wayyyy happier in the long run. I promise.



Good start btw.

Oh didn't know that, I never really have looked into pricing out a set of Rota's for my car.

And I'm not a *****, I would LOVE to see this done right, there is a difference between "******" and saying don't get Slips you're not doing anyone a favor. I would like to direct your attention to the Stance Rant thread, for you to understand that difference.

If the OP has gotten 8 sets of Rota's previous to this at $550 price point, and doesn't have any of them now, that means he could have had $4,400, for real wheels, you could buy 2 sets of the most beautiful RS's you have ever seen for that price, and had them at the perfect fitment with no spacers, and run one of them in the Summer and one set in the Winter. Seems like an awful lot of money wasted to me.

i've traded wheels and wheels and wheels and so on ive only spent overall 800 in wheels. I had diamond racing steelies they are getting over kill i want to wait till i find the perfect set of wheels for this car. As iof now its on 14 inch bbs's not rs's either just one piecers

thanks for all the advice i know rotas aren't ideal but like octopus said we all have to start some where don't we?

About the wheels fitting........... the car has body work with bondo. i have to cut it out people you can't roll bondo.

Trust me bro, I know all about starting out, I just graduated HS, and I have literally only $400 in spending money right now, because I have to have money while in college, I could buy some reps right now if I wanted, but I am just saving because I know that waiting will give me the exact wheels I want, and I will be able to afford them, and have extra to cover the costs of mounting tires, adapters, etc. I want to do my car right the first time I do it, and dropping 400 on reps would mean that I am 400 further away from getting the wheels I really want, which means I have to wait even longer. Which is something not many people think about. Good things come to those who wait, so just wait, sure it looks whack now, but it definitely won't when you have a really nice set of wheels, and could be rolling on something that has never been done before on a Civic.

Just some food for thought.

Maybe try and snag a set of euro weaves off an e30. they go for 450 for rough to 750 for nice ones.

15x7 bbs rzs, et24 IIRC, already 4x100. And they would look super classy and clean, even if not as aggresive.

[325irollin]

the 3 civics I used to have were slammed that low. One actually did have slips. Looked good to me. They aren't "real" wheels but if you're ballin on a budget I'd say they are the best option.

[kramerbuccs24]

I bought PERFECT condition 4x100 15x7 et38 Kosei K1s WITH 80% tread 205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires (top 3 performance tires out there in 15" size) for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

There is NO reason to buy fake wheels. You all fail. They are not "the best option," they are the laziest option.

You want Rotas or these???





I actually miss the Koseis a LOT, they've found a nice new home on my buddy's 450whp civic, though



Rota slips would have looked sooooooo much better on the EG, though *rollseyes*

[RedE46Bimmer]

...... WHAT? No child left behind is obviously failing. Vote people!

So good

[FittedDownLow]

i am currently saving for real wheels guys trust me but i already have the slips. oh is anyone going to the 4 you drew car show? ill be there don't be afraid to come say hi

[Atill93]

Well its damn low for sure, but do us all a favor and don't get Slips, do something that hasn't been done 8296402437620934 times before.

i agree

[06tiburonofdoom]

[00bmw323]

[06tiburonofdoom]

i actually like the Eg but the hood kinda kills it...

Haha, I know, I'm not too fond of it either.
Soon enough!

And OP, you know you're not low enough when your strut towers haven't been modified. Cut those bitches up!

[VipdOut]

[Njdub]

Serious man save the money and buy some other wheels. Redo the hood and don't cut things.
