anglais49 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I've got a decision to make on wheels. The GTRs were on the car before, but I didn't love the look of it with black wheels (car is gunmetal). They were also a bit scuffed, so I bought these silver Axe wheels and took the Rotas off for a refurb. The Axe wheels look fine on the car but now, but I'm not 100% sold on quite bright silver wheels against gunmetal grey, and now I have the Rotas back, they're looking super sharp. So which set do I keep and which do I sell? Edited October 6, 2014 by anglais49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Any pictures of them on the car? I'm almost certain I'd pick the black wheels, but that's what I've chosen for my car so I'm probably biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I always like the look of black rims with silver edging. Probably not helping much am I! Does this mean there will be set of Rims for sale soon?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sell the rotas to me !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglais49 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Hah yeah I will most likely sell the Rotas if I decide not to put them back on. That pic doesn't show the Rotas well, but that's kinda what I don't like about black wheels anyway. I almost don't notice them Edited October 6, 2014 by anglais49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I can't count spokes. I'd prefer the GTRs in grey, which solves nothing. Grrrf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensh65 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I dont know if its just the different angles of the shots but the Rotas highlight how much your car needs lowered more than the AXE wheels. That could just be the way the pictures look though. I put Rim tape on my black alloys to make them look a bit less boring black. Really glad I did, cheap easy mod Silver black and yellow sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really glad I did, cheap easy mod Silver black and yellow sounds good to me It used to be 20mm lower than the photo with the black alloys, but I live in the sticks and it scrapes along the ground on humped country lanes, so it had to go back up. The Axe wheels are 19s, s it's helped fill the arches a bit better. That's another reason I'm tempted to stick with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie94gts Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I prefer the axe wheels as they stand now - not a big fan of completely black wheels. Now if the Rotas were dark silver, maybe with silver lip, I might go the other way. Having said that, the axe wheels are nice looking and a bit different. Which is always good.
