Way back when I joined this site I saw an old members car (vulcanwolf for those of you that remember him) that was exactly like my own except it had 17" white motegi rt5's. I absolutely loved them. Just last year I finally bought a set for myself and I liked them just as much in person as I had in the pictures of vulcanwolf's car. By the end of last year I had started to wonder if they were a bit too much... dont get me wrong, I still like them a lot, I just want to consider my other options as well. In doing so I want to hear the opinions of my fellow RD members. Pics below:
That is the way my car is now (obviously)
and these are what Im considering (at least the 5 spoke gunmetal/polished style):
I think more people will like the look of the gunmetal/polished lip, but keep in mind I like the white a lot as well, part of which is because you dont see it very often. Also I dont know if Im prepared to try and sell the ones I have, it could be a bigger hassle than it seems just because they are white and less people are probably interested. Im basically wondering if you guys think the rt5's are too much and if you think they are worth changing. Well, have at em! Let me hear some of your opinions (and please dont turn this into a debate about what size wheel is better, thanks)

volk racing right? those in my opinion seem to best rims matching the lines of rd2's i've seen. although the other rims you got there look good, i love Subierex rims... too bad they don't make some rexie rims for us.. mmmm....

Polished black would make it look discreet.
i've got the sparco racing python silver..

Polished silver or chrome would get more attention.

In all honesty mang, stay with your whites! ITs looking really hot like that IMO! Besides, isn't the "bread and butter" of tuning your car to be different for the rest of the "herd"? The blue and white is different, I'll give you that, and its a very good different. I like to see cars that arent part of "the norm". Stick to your guns mang, they are definitely working for ya!
I dont think that its to much either.
But if you really want to change... Id say go with the first ones you posted up with the split spoke (just like kb said ^). cool.gif
