What wheels should I keep and what should I sell!!

[vti2010]

Hi all I'm kind of in a debate with myself over which wheels should I keep on my 9. The wheels I have are :

Genuine rays te37 in bronze 15inch

Rota slips 16 inch in black.

I know most of you are going to say the te37s because of what they are, and how rare they are ect.

Reason I'm put this up is because I can't decide on what to do because of the following :

Rays

Nice wheels, super light, i have wanted a set for ages, but I really don't wanna drive on them. They so clean and original and the thought of curbing them or damaging them in any way kills me to think. I have them sat in my bedroom doing nothing. Makes sense to sell but Im not sure how much I will regret it.

Rota slips

These are a perfect size I feel, gives me good ground Clearence and still can get it really low with out rubbing, and hardly ever scrapes on speed bumps when got the perfect angle. They look just as nice as the te37 when fitted. Worth a lot less then the te37s. But in my eyes both are equally matched in regards to looks ect.

If you lot could help me make my descion

Thanks.

I would put the TE37 on and it looks soooo good on the 9 especially bronze colour! You just need to be little more careful.

Unless youre strapped for cash i wouldnt change what youre doing keep the slips as dailys and keep your te37s mint i mean who hasnt got a few sets of wheels just lying round....

Rays all the way, they are meant to be driven on

I run te37 but would gladly px them in the future as slips look so much better.

I bought volk re30 for my dc5, they will be used on track and b road blasting no problems

the cars on oem wheels atm whilst I make my choice.

Lee s what's the reason you have chosen slips over your te37s?.

If i had to get rid of one i would get rid of the Rotas and keep the genuine TE37s, If they were Regas then it would be a hard choice i bet youd get a good price on the slips aswell

the rays are less likely to get damaged than the rotas! and if you worried about curbing them, you should learn how to park either that or get some sweet ass curb feelers!

Rays. What's the point of not using them, i'd use them as that's what they're for You can always get them refurbished

Cause I can park, I drive a 40tonne artic lorry so I'd defentatly know how to park and drive lol. Not worried about my driving its other people's. I.e on my old Ibiza so moron came down a the road when I had right of way and forced me so far over I scuffed the **** out my wheels, but thank good it wasent my te37s

As for say refurbishing, then they are totally un original. And they would never be the same again.

Such a differcult choice

 

[godfridge]

The rays are nice but at that price they are just pub talk

 

[Rossco155]

Pictures with both sets of wheels on the car and a vote?

 

[ijwhiteman]

Sell the rays and pocket the cash.

Sell the slips and get some 15's

[woodyscivic]

Keep the rays if you don't I will buy them off you.

 

[vti2010]

Pm me a offer buddy!

The EK9 I'm getting is coming with some 15" Rays, not sure what type but I'm not a big fan of Volks Rays at all, would much rather have the Rota Slipstreams on as I feel the black is a nice contrast against the white of the car. I also prefer the look of them too, just my opinion here.

I might have mine up for a sale or swap soon if I'm not overkeen on them once I get the car if anyone's interested potentially in a swap for some nice black wheels.

I'm also keen on the 16" DC2 JDM white standard alloys or the same alloys painted black.

Just send me a PM if anyone is keen, thanks.

I'm a big fan of both wheels but slipstreams just suite ek9's so well, and if you can get good money for the rays why not!
