hmmmmmmmmm ive thought about that also

let me investigate in photoshop right now lolol



... w.e color i paint them.. im sure it will be fine.... this saturday im taking my weds off and unmounting the tires.. and slapping on some temporary rims.. im hoping my weds are sold soon.. if so then ill be able to buy 2 tires.. which is all i need.

 

so besides MF is there another website you guys know that have some good prices on used quality wheels?

 

rbwheels.com

 

thanks that was quick!

 

OK, so I need some honest opinions from the gurus. I finally got some serious offers on the SSR's, and I could pic up a set of RS's that I have been looking at for a while. RB Wheels has a set of RS, and Super RS in 17" that will have to be filled and drilled. Would the basket-weave look any good on a tC? RS or Super RS? Keep the SSR's? Thanks for the opinions guys.

Hat Trick,

your gonna have to slam your sht to pull it off nicely but I say go for it, I saw the ones on RBwheels and they look pretty good just needed a little TLC but for 1200 its not bad

 

super RS' look damn good

 

yea they look sick but for some reason im attracted more to the original design of RS's especially if you give them a nice custom finish....woooo...im getting all wet, excuse me for a minute :D

 

i would go with the regular RS's.. the supers are a little blah with that long spoke design.. they dont pull it off as well..

 

Thanks for the opinions guys.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Too bad I don't have coilovers

Yea, the Super RS do look good, and are probably more rare, but the regular ones are just more 'classic'.

Anyone else? :D

 

I like the RS's. I plan on picking up a set eventually.

 

Eh, they're nice wheels, no doubt about it, but the style just doesn't seem to fit with the tC. As mentioned before, you really need to be slammed to pull them off. Also, you autocross too, so you would need to swap wheels and raise the car every time you want to go to the track. I dunno if you would enjoy doing that so often.

 

they remind me of wheels that my father had on his 84 bmw 3 series. but it is true not many cars can pull those wheels off, Vdubs could and definatly old beemers.

 

well jus called my father he did have BBS' on his car hehe lol

 

the thing with RS's is if u dont have the right stance they look like ehh... its all in the stance.

 

basketweaves look better on boxy/square cars. they look great on mk2 and mk3 VWs, but not mk4 or mk5. i dont think they'd look that great on a tC, but really nice on a xb1.

 

^ agreed, i see alot of mk3 jettas with them poking out

 

Thanks for the responses guys. This backs up what I was thinking. On to the next idea...

 

All I have to say is, Pete, if you paint your wheels WHITE, you're a dead man & I'm never speaking to you again.

I HATE WHITE on wheels, period.
