What do you guys think about these?
 
I have been looking at picking up a "cheap" set of wheels to keep a set of summer tires on. I really don't like any of the Rota's that are 17x8 and I don't want to jump up to an 18". I found these on Tire Rack, they look pretty good, I am just thinking that they may look a little funny without a BBK behind them...

I've never really been a big fan of five spokes. Off to check I-club to see if I can find ya something better.

I also looked at the NT03-M but I'm not sure how I feel about them... The Crawford car makes them look sick but I need to see them in person.

Why the hell are there two valve stems?

I found out on Enkei's website. "THE NTO3+M ALSO FEATURES A RACING TWIN VALVE DESIGN WHICH ALLOWS FOR ACCURATE MONITORING WHILE ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE"

5x100 correct? I think these would look bad ass.

WRX06TR 2008-02-29 01:07 AM

Those do look pretty good. But I'm not a huge fan of time attack wheels. And probably wouldn't have the cash to pick those up before that guy sells them. Thanks tho...

I think Advan RGII's are sick! So I guess I kinda like the rota boost wheels too.:lol:

The NT03-M do not look that good in regular 17" subaru fitment.

The crawford car is on 18's and a very(widebody) different offset from what I can tell, which makes the wheels look good.

17X7, but seems like a good deal.

^The only problem with those is that I already have a perfect set of tires in my garage. So $1500 plus shipping from TX...ouch.

I like the big 5 spoke RP03's but they are going to leave me wanting a BBK :lol:

Kevin M 2008-02-29 10:32 AM

If you feel bad about small brakes behind your wheels, just come look at my car on 17s sometime...

cody 2008-02-29 10:39 AM

I like the RP03's but if you want to save some cash and have a similar look/weight:

I love the RGII's... but could only afford the Boosts... too bad they don't make 'em in 5x114.3 and 9.5" wide or I'd get another set.

Was that your bugeye when it was still 5x100? What did you do with those wheels? Definitely a great look you had there.

Nick Koan 2008-03-01 12:02 AM

I've always liked the idea of the NT03, but never the execution.

The Compomotive TH2 looks similar but better (but, unfortunately out of production and more expensive).

As for the RP03, I can't say I'm a fan. I'm more on a multi-spoke tip at the moment, so take that with a grain of salt.

WRX06TR 2008-03-01 12:50 AM

Well, that pic of the STi Joeyy posted really made me rethink the G-Forces. I can't believe I'm saying it but maybe I will get a set of Rota G-Force...wow never thought I would pick up Rota's :lol: I guess I weigh to much in brand names...

Yeah, I wish I had known about those wheels sooner, they were so good looking and affordable. Damn Scott, that pic of your car looks hot...

Your real life wing is too short. Get your car some ExtenZe™ and get back on the track!

WRX06TR 2008-03-03 10:41 AM

Well, I am in the process or saving up some cash but I am torn on what color Rota's. Bronze, Gold, or Gun Metallic?
