C_WRX Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Been looking at finally getting sorted out with a new set of alloys. I have a black newage so even colour suggestions would be listened to. Narrowed it down to : Rota GRA - the Skidz pic of this wheel looks very nice. Inovite Tarmac - nice enough wheel but quite a few around. Priced better than GRA's. Inovite CTS - not even heard this one mentioned before, suspicious of how cheap this is quoted at against others - is it not a strong or nice looking wheel ?? Opinions on all 3 as not really that familiar with them, not seen too many on other folks cars. Drawn to these particular ones as seems to be choice of Subaru owners, plus I like the look of them ! Also, which tyres? I don't really push the tyres to their limit so it is a comprimise I guess I'm looking for between ability / miles out of set / grip in dry & wet / price. Of the performance tyres think it'd be Yokohama Parada's I'd go for but is there a cheaper good alternative? Oh, and of course, end of the day the cost comes in to it ! Edited May 23, 2008 by C_WRX
C_WRX Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Does it have to be brand-new? Depending on the size (18's) and colour, but no. Been keeping an eye out for a bargain but nothing much doing.
C_WRX Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Work Emotion CR Kais in bronze. Is that what you have on ?
st3ph3n Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Is that what you have on ? I wish. Although I'd really like these for mine, but white on black isn't popular with everyone:
dan_jess Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Work CR used, not bronze tho http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/pdeta...sp?ID=100863495 Sorry, just noticed your after 18's Edited May 23, 2008 by DanTerzo
C_WRX Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 I wish.Although I'd really like these for mine, but white on black isn't popular with everyone: Hmm. Not sure about those. White wheels on black car, not sure that'd look right !
G.T. Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 these would look good not sure about the tyres being the right size or pff7s would always be a safe bet, ive still not made my mind up on what id like for my black car yet quite like rota torques too
scooby doom Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Inovite CTS - not even heard this one mentioned before, suspicious of how cheap this is quoted at against others - is it not a strong or nice looking wheel ?? I had the 17" CTS in GM and thought they looked ok but..... they curve outward quite a bit and you'll have to be ultra careful not to keep kerbing them. I had them just over a year and decided to swap when I had the chance. Opted for Inovit Redline but went for something a bit differnet and not GM this time. Here are a few before and after pics to give ya an idea. CTS pic's Redline Pic's

The Redlines are nice enough, fairly popular choice. Quite liked the polished face look have to admit. paul555sti, saw those but unfortunately 17's, and white which just don't see going well with a black car.
