LegacyKid5 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So I'm looking at getting a pair of wheels this spring/summer and can't decide between the Rota Gravel and the Tarmac 2. I really like the looks of both, just not sure which I should go with. I have a 05 Regal Blue Wagon, and either wheel I'll probably got with the gunmetal color. Thoughts?

NWSPECB Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I like the Tarmac 2 more. Not sure why as they are both very similar wheel's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_sheen Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 You might want to start by buying a SET of wheels. A pair wont get you far. I like gravels more, I have tarmac 3's and I wish the spoke didn't end before the outside of the rim, it makes them look an inch smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHM1AN Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm in the exact same boat. Regal Blue sedan, can't pick between Gravels and Tarmac 2s in Gunmetal color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec.B Dream Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've got the gunmetal gravels in 18x8 and love them (got a QSM though). If it means anything, I only see the Tarmac 2 in 18x7.5 on wheeldude.com. Do they come in 18x8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 yeah..my Tarmac 2s are 18X7.5 (in steel grey) - but I thought they discontinued the T2s? http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73644&d=1253495349 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to get a better pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sell the wheels and get some springs! Wheels look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck16 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I like all of the Rota's on Wheeldude, is it me or are the Gunmetallic darker than the Hyper Black? I would think it would be the other way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Tarmac 2s. Knockoff of one of the best looking wheels IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Meh. With replicas, you don't have to worry if they get stolen, curbed, or bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
