so i fucked up my old rota torques and summer is coming along once again and im in a pickle as to which wheels to get next.
the car is a bug eye blue subaru wrx.
my choices are as follows.
Rota D2 gold w/ polished lip (http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_info.php/cPath/21_158/products_id/383?osCsid=fc8d16c5334713128cc52ab653064e9a)

Rota G-Force Gold (http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_info.php/cPath/21_158/products_id/382?osCsid=fc8d16c5334713128cc52ab653064e9a)

Rota Rev Gold or Royal Gun Metallic w/ polished lip (http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_info.php/cPath/21_158/products_id/364)

so 3 different styles, 4 different colors. input would be greatly appreciated! gotta make it quicky though need to slap on some new shoes for the summer! the stockers are just not doing it.


(wheels will be 17")

Thanks!!!

Hey where are you looking to pick some Rota's up? I'm looking at getting a set as well.

I have an 06 Subaru 2.5i wagon in White.
The ones I'm looking at are:
Tarmac 3 18x8 (gold)
G-Force 17x8 (gold)
Boost 17x8 (gold)
SDX 17x7.5 (bronze)

Let me know....maybe we can get a deal ordering together!

Man, blue on gold is SO overplayed.
I think you should do up the Rota D2 in that silver finish they have.

EDIT: I just saw you made a choice.

Second is classic good looks but the first are insane, I love the Works, the blue STi in town with the blue Works is insane. Why not save up and go for higher quality?

cuz im a poor student, with many other mods in mind =P so you know i gotta work with what i can afford.
why spend $2000 on rims when spend half of that for some pretty decent rims, and spend another $1000 on something else?

Leave them on or if you can find something else to cover it, sometimes cap-less can be ugly..

Your car is not dropped yet right? Will look awesome with a bit of a drop! The torques are hot too :) :thumbsup:


Edit: Oh yeah, I'm not rocking my rota center cap on my jmags because it's too big, wish it would fit flush in instead of sticking out like a butt plug.. heh
