CobaltForge Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hey Guys, what do you think of Flat Black Rotas with the red lip? I know these would work great on a black or red car, but how bout on a Regal Blue? Here's a sample of the wheels (P1s): http://www.subydude.com/images/prod/products/Wheels/rota/p1/flatblackredlip/800/800/p1_18x8_5x100_e48_56.1_flatblackredlip_02.jpg http://www.subydude.com/images/prod/products/Wheels/rota/p1/flatblackredlip/800/800/p1_18x8_5x100_e48_56.1_flatblackredlip_03.jpg I'm not sure what other Rota wheels have this color combination, but I'm sure I could ask Suby Dude. I was originally going to go with other wheels, but now the budget only allows for Rotas and a new set of tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooberoo Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I was digging a similar colored wheel for my silver GT. I then started thinking about what they would look like dirty or when the tires weren't armor alled and I thought, "Meh!" As for my opinion of these wheels on a blue car? I'd have to say no, too many colors countering one another. I think that there is a Rota wheel that comes in blue, unkown if it comes in Legacy size or fitment or how well it would match your regal blue. If that didn't work, I'd go with something in charcoal or gun metal with a polished rim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that didn't work, I'd go with something in charcoal or gun metal with a polished rim! They are somewhat hard to find in Blue. I had to buy mine used. Here are my P45F's in Cosmic Blue. I had them on both my ABP before I sold it and now my OBP. Dont mind the dirty car, it had rained that day. http://amykdean.com/albums/Legacy-Pics-06/dirty_girl.sized.jpg http://amykdean.com/albums/New-Subie/Station_Wagons.jpg Amy 04 FXT vf39 5mt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltForge Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 ^^^ I think the red lip throws it off. If it was a solid matte black it might work. Though if I got some red lug nuts, it would kinda complete the look with these rims. What if I went with the Rota Boost? Which color would you guys pick for a RBP Sedan? Bronze, Gunmetal, Steel Gray, Gold, or the Black w/Red Lip? http://www.rotawheels.com/images/products/boost_gold.jpghttp://www.rotawheels.com/images/products/boost_gm.jpghttp://www.rotawheels.com/images/products/boost_sg.jpghttp://www.rotawheels.com/images/products/boost_fbrl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 the black rim with the red ring is known as "time attack" color combination which has been coined by the JDM market from the Cyber Evo I think.

Wrxdan2002 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I got them on our OBXT, Sometimes i think it's too much black.
