Need Wheel Advice

[Dubstein]

Not really an Integra specific question but I currently bought an Integra, and it currently has those ugly Advanti Ghosts.. So here i am looking for somthing JDM.

Now i don't have that much money, but i can still sell the Ghosts for cash. Any ideas on some 'cheaper' performance sets? Even if you know someone on the fourms selling anything. I have my eye on the Selling and trading section too.

Here are some i have found on Ebay..

Found some nice ROTA's and Koing's

Whats your opinions? Btw how much do you reckon i can sell the Ghosts for?

Can't see any of them, items have been removed.

None of the rims you are looking at are 'JDM' they're all replicas basically. If I was buying a replica I'd go with Konig as they are good quality (I think they're German?). ROTA has been questioned for quality/strength.

I like the Konig Retrack.

[babiiiiiiiiiii]

rota is not too bad but been ask for quality wise so for the money you pay for a set of brand new , why not look up here for a set of second hand but good condition :)
so mugen one here sel for 800 and i saw some ssr for like 600, keep an eyes on those man

[Dubstein]

Aight, Well the Rota's i really liked the look of. 5 spoke, blackish colour. Plus they were only around $800 with shipping from USA.
These should be fine for a starters anyway, Im not doing track, just causal driving.

They gotta be better then Ghosts anyway LOL.

I meant, 'JDM look'. Because the Advanti's look so.. how do i say this.. GAAAAAAY. But seriously, everyone in my town has them lol, and they don't appeal to me at all.. I like to stand out :)

[dougie_504]

Hehe I understand what you mean now, but one of the points about the 'JDM' style is that it doesn't really stand out much at all. It looks clean and simple, with a focus on function > form.

Why don't you check out our OzHonda Trader JDM Wheel Imports (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?154-JDM-Wheel-Imports)? I'm positive you'll find what you're looking for with them. They stock both ROTA and Konig, as well as some other great wheels like Rays, Work and Enkei.

[Dubstein]

Yeah i've actually been talking to them about some, Just need to sell my current ones before i go ahead and place an order :) Thanks

[babiiiiiiiiiii]

if you wana be stand out you can powder coating the wheel to stand out colour like :orange, pink or you can buy some chrome one which i believe wil be stand out heaps hehe

umm, as i said look up jdmyard or jdm wheel import as mod said before , they always have good price rims and last time i saw a set of enkei rpf1 for 800, but u need to keep looking man , coz its really limited stock ever ! so keep check ozhonda every min to find ur rims man :P

I might just ask a quick wheel question here. I want to grab some Rota Grids at some point, but there are limited options for 4x100. How will 16x7 +40 sit on a GSi?

16x7 +40 should be too much problem , you can use 205/50/r16

16x7 +40 will fit fine/look nice on a teggy. Depnding if you car is stock height or lowered you will want to be running a 205 or 215 tyre.

Cheers guys.

If I just chuck on some 'low' King springs (which shouldn't drop it very far, just enough to fill the arches a bit), I'd be looking at 205, yeah?

Should look good in gun metal.

[RSKEbaby]

Yeap 205/40 or 205/45 !

Get some rota R spec in white 16" for some fulli jdm sick. No one on the road will even know they're fake

[michaelz]

Ha, I've just never been sold on white rims on silver cars.

this. gold or gunmetal will look mint on silver.

until it breaks, leaving you in the middle of the road looking stupid. ironically this pic is also a silver DC running black slips. i know they look good but that's because all their designs are knockoffs.

Thats brutal D:

[Indie]

Yeah, I've looked at Vork Ravs, and they are cheaper. I haven't seen either wheel in person, though, so I'm wondering if the Rotas look a bit better?
