hahahaha. i get this question all the time. i love it because no one can figure it out. okay, so here's the secret......believe or not, those are rota gt3's. yes, they are replica rims. that is the main reason why no one can ever figure out what rims those are. they are powdercoated gloss black and i personally added the red pinstriping. those were done way before the time attacks were ever advertised. i have always been inlove with black rims with red lips (especially the mugen rnr). but i can't find any 15 inch rims that have that color scheme. when the time attacks came out, i got all excited and was ready to buy a set, but then the volks distributor here in the US told me that they only have 16's for my car, so i ended up keeping the rims until this day.

Hey how much is that lowered by buddy?

hrm...not really sure how much lower my car is, but what i did is just basically lower it enough where one finger would still fit between the fender and the tire when the tire is still brand new...that way it's low, but i still have a lot of suspension movement and not bottoming out
 
I am ignoring what kind of wheels you said you have because, well... you know... :(

*blocks out ROTA from memory* ;)

HAHAHA!! :lol:

yes, i promise, these will be my last set of rota's hahaha
no offense to the rota users here, i have nothing against them. i've used several rota's before, but no more replica rims for me. these were suppose to be temp. rims, but ended up getting a lot of compliments on them and really confuses people because they can't figure out what rims these are. but yea, these will be my last set from that brand though. if i ever do get another set, they will either be volk or work rims.

I hate 5 lug wheel choices. I don't like white wheels either, but I couldn't find any other wheels so I settled for the ones I have now. My favorite two wheels are 4 lug. :(

BTW: You rolling down to the HUGE Eibach meet in May?
 
^^^ me too!! i hate wheel choices for 5 lug! so limited. and yea, i can't stand white wheels. they're nice when they are clean, but it's annoying trying to keep them clean, especially with aggressive brake pads. i wish we had as much wheel choices as 4x100's have. and yea, i might be goin down to SoCal for the eibach meet. not completely sure yet though.

You guys have a few up there, sold by N1 concepts. 96 spec and an N1 spec.
 
rhdek9, do you have HID installed in your car? :)
 
holy holy shiiiiiiizzle!! that has got to be one of the nicest EK9s i've seen around! really my taste and style! simplicity is the key! i love it!

Pictures do it alot of justice aswell! look imense!
Did you take those pictures yourself? or were they done by a proferssional? really good quality and effects used!
