Default What do you guys think? xA- Rota Torques [Test chop!]



From:


Also inched out the rear wheel a tad. I have OTG spacers on the way.

15" Rota Torques. 40 offset.

Other choice right now would be the 16" Rota Subzeros, unless someone has a better suggestion.


Also found the Black Racing Pro N1:

Anything good/bad about black racing wheels?

something about black rims never works for me... Go with something white and polished or silver, those look better in pictures.

Oh I like it!

BTW, the Torques are gunmetal and not black. The Black Racing Pro-N1 were my second choice but not the bronze ones, I wanted to get them in black. I think the black ones come in +44 offset which would still work but you'd have to get a 5mm spacer for the front and back (along with the OTG rear spacers).

I say go with the Black Racing wheels. If you like those, you should check out www.discounttiredirect.com and take a look at the MB Motorsport Weapons. I think they still come in 4x100 (their Web site is down at the moment). These wheels are actually A-tech Erasers. They're available in gunmetal and in bronze. I had these on my 1998 Honda Prelude, and currently have a set of 16" MB Motorsport Competitions (A-tech Finalspeeds).

That's another thought I've had.

Though, I wouldn't mind going with a little more offset, like a +38 or +35. All of the Rota wheels only come in a +40.

The Black Racing Pro N1's come in a +38 in a 4x100 and 16x7 in bronze, so I miiiight go that way.

I know this is an xB, but I have the Rota Torque in Hyper Black (in between black and gun metal, depending on the light/angle).

I do dig the wheels on yours quite a bit... I don't think I can stick with 15" though.

Though, now that I've seen Phantomxa's xA, I'm definitely going with the 16" Subzeros.
