"Should I Buy This?"/"What Do You Think About This" Thread??

[poopflingr1]

ya, discount and tire rack are pretty good.

dont really know much about the others.

[hawj920]

Are the Ro_ja formula 5 a good buy? I beleive they are discontinue and someone is selling them for $400, they are the 17" silver one, universal 4 lugs. I've seen them and they are in very good condition, the tires are just kinda worn out but someone said that they are worth as much as the rays volk wheels. Good deal?

how about not ricing out another civic by spray painting the interior panel? If you must do something then do a carbon fiber theme with overlays and cf seats and that can carry over to the exterior.

.. leave the interior painting to the sunfire's and cavaliers... you will be alot happier 2 months down the road when its not peeling and flaking and looking like sheeat.. my .02

[NationsMostWanted]

well i pulled a search and got mixed results

i'm going for some new wheels that i'll use in the warmer seasons. once my car is finnished it will mostly be a dd with some track time thrown in (road, not drag). basically, are nippon f-2's good? they're way lighter than comparable wheels on tire rack, and i can get them in 16"s.

that's a link to an ebay sale of them. they're pretty cheap and look good enough for me, but i'm afriad of maybe their durability? i see a good amount of pot holes, ESPECIALLY when i'm in houston. i basically just want less unsprung weight to go with my 4-wheel disk conversion coming up next month, but i don't want them to die from a pot hole and F my car in the A.

oh yea i forgot that's what peteex has. his are probably rotas but yea they look dead on the same. i think i'll get mine later this week :clap

The Rota Slipstreams and Nippon Racing F-2's are not identical. I have the F-2's in black and my friend has the Slips in black and they are definitely not the same looking. The color and finish are different and there are some other small details. The valve stem cutout on the F-2's isn't just a circular hole in the lip, it has a whole square section cut out around it. Also they dont have exactly the same shape and the Slips have a little jdm stamp on the spoke. Other than that, I've been satisfied with the rims and I haven't had any problems with their durability.

[hondatuner1320]

i can get some 99 si rims for 400, good condition. not sure if its worth it, and not sure if it comes with tires so, heres my question:

are 99 si rims without tires worth it?
if not, are 99 si rims with tires worth it?

[gurusan]

that's a pretty hefty price.....
