DickDastardly00 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I've googled, I've searched the LGT forums here and for the life of me I just cannot find pics of any Steel Gray Rota Torques on a ABP sedan. I'm pretty sure I am going to pull the trigger on some 18X8's, but I wanted to see them on a ABP LGT first, since they look kinda dark in subydudes pics. Anyone running these, or know someone who does? ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song
Legacy_GT_Pilot Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I'm in a similar position. I want to buy Torgues for my Regal Blue Legacy and have been trying to find some pics of my car with some of the darker rims as well. I don't want to go with either of the silver colours. ________ Drug test kit
DickDastardly00 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 I think the silver color of our stock LGT wheels is perfect for the ABP Legacys. If Rota Torques were made in that exact color, it would be perfect, but they are not. The steel gray is a little darker from what I can tell from Subydude's pics, but how much darker will they look on a ABP Lgt is the question I would like answered. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song
DickDastardly00 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Ok, I have cold feet on the torques now. Now I'm thinking I'm going to go with: 5zigen Fn01r-c (anodized Silver) Size: 18x8.5 PCD: 5x100 ET: 48 Weight: 20lbs. Price is a little bit more, but seems worth it. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song
BigJack Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I started out wanting the torque...but the more i looked at them i don't think they look good on the Lgt. I went with tarmac 3...hypersilver..should be on next week
G.T.Subie Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I want Torques also, I love the look of the split 5 spoke. I love the new Hyper silver Torques. Denial is your best friend
SA_Hutch Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I've got an ABP LGT with 17" bronze torques and can post a few photogs this weekend if that will help. Let me know...
DickDastardly00 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 I'm pretty sure these are the bronze torques, but they might be silver...hard to tell from the lighting. http://www.subydude.com/gallery/_detail.php?pic=1789 I think they look good, but it's too bad that they don't come in silver, or no one stocks them....whatever it is. I like the tarmacs, and the SDR's (too bad they don't come in 18x8). I want to spend about $1600 for wheels and tires, if i had a bigger budget I would be getting SSR GT7, or Prodrives or something, but i don't. Plus it's hard to beat the fitment of the Rotas on our cars. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song
edmundu Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I want Torques also, I love the look of the split 5 spoke. I love the new Hyper silver Torques. Like these...
G.T.Subie Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Are they Hyper Silver or Silver? Looks great! Denial is your best friend
DickDastardly00 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Like these... Whoa, I thought the hyper silver torques were much brighter than that, but those look perfect! Those are very close if not exactly the same color as our stock wheels. Thanks for posting that, very nice looking ride! ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song
DickDastardly00 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 I'm still thinking about these: http://www.edgeracing.com/images/wheel/5zigen_fn01r-c_(anodized_silver)_angle_zoom.jpg 5zigen Fn01r-c (anodized Silver) Size: 18x8.5 PCD: 5x100 ET: 48 Weight: 20lbs. But they also come in 18X7.5 which are 1.5 lbs lighter. Should I go wider, or lighter? ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song

Those are very close if not exactly the same color as our stock wheels. Thanks for posting that, very nice looking ride! Lighting was not so great. IT was almost sundown. These are BRIGHTER than stock. The best comparison would be late model BMW M series wheels. They have a chrome shadow type of effect. Thanks! I like the car too:wub:

They have a chrome shadow type of effect. Thanks! I like the car too:wub: Thanks for all the pics of the Torques (in other threads too). You've helped convince me that I want the exact same wheels as an upgrade. Any chance you would have a photo of the stock wheels next to the Torques to get a relative sense of the color? BTW, what tire size are you running? Ken
edmundu Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 ^^Sorry, I don't have the stocker's. I'm running ContiExtreme's 225/45/17. Love them too:wub:
