I know. Doesn't change the fact that SSRs are what should be on that car. :)

And, the Boosts are replicas of cast wheels :p

I really don't like the SSR's for some reason, they're just not chunky enough.

Yeah Kevin... Boosts look nothing like the Advans... er, the Advans that the artists in GT4 put in the game...

I reckon I would like the Boosts more if I liked the Advans in the first place.

But somehow the SSRs are okay? Even though they look exactly the same :p

Except for the part where SSR spokes don't bow out 1.5" from the lip of the wheel. Much like the formels/22b BBS, it's the spoke shape/depth that ruins it for me. From 90 degrees, sure, both the Boost and Advan look fine IMO.

I guess when you have puny brakes, clearing them isn't a big problem. :P

Your Stoptechs don't make them look any better, it just gives you the excuse of choosing function over form. ;)

Gold Formel Mesh. They look more BBS-like than the regular Formels.

That shirt makes incorrect use of apostrophes (it should be "friends," not the contraction of "friend is" or the possessive "friend's"), therefore it fails. :P

It's Formula Mesh, those only come in 18x8 though. But they are better looking than the Formel.

I like the mesh look. I think the biggest difference between the Rotas and the original BBS wheels is the offset depth of the mesh itself. The Rotas look kinda flat.

Shouldn't all the percentages in the poll add up to 100%? Right now they add up to 153%, maybe I'm dumb but it seems wrong to me.

The sheer number and scope of wheel whoring threads on this board makes Captain Picard cry.

Multi-select is on for this poll. 15 voters and 23 votes.

khail19 2006-09-01 06:58 AM

I see...

Bump. I just realized that the image of the Rev didn't work, so I put up a new one (too bad it's so small!)

Ahh, the good ole' days... when we all rolled Detroit Iron and the only one in town with a Subaru was Jesse. :lol: I miss that Mustang sometimes...
