Which rims for my 04 coupe? My Civic is magnesium metallic
#1 - RS Limited Concept Pro Gun Metal
#2 - RS Limited RICOCHET Gun Metal
#3 - Sokudo Gun Metal
They're all pretty freakin' close, it's a hard decision. I also noticed the Sokudo come in antracite, what kind of color is that, it almost looks the same as the gun metal. Anyone have pics of these on their rides?

I like the concept Pro. Rota also makes it and calls it the subzero. Both are copies of the Racing Hart CP-035. If you want the real deal, which is forged and hella light. Some guy in southern California is selling silver ones for $700, but no tires. Good deal IMO.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah it's an EX dru, but I just got it 3 months ago so I'm not looking to trade it just yet, lol. Although, your car is very impressive, what kind of rims you got on there?
I'm leaning towards 1 myself, it's the closest to the combo of dark/light although I'm just not sure if it's too dark. I've seen them on white/black cars, but not a grey one. They'd be about $820 w/ tires, so $700 for just rims is a little more than I want to spend, heh.

Rep Power: 0 I think he was talking about trading wheels maybe. Not cars...haha. But who knows. I've seen his Tenzo Passion 5's and they look pretty damn sweet.

Rep Power: 0 There is also an anthracite color of the Sokudo's according to whalentires.com, but wheelsnext.com has them as gun black. Are these two seperate colors, they look almost the same.
edit: Oh, n/m they are the same, just checked the part # on ADR's website, that's kind of confusing.

Rep Power: 254 I like all 3 wheels, but I guess I am sorta biased to #3. The only thing is ADR's gunmetal is WAY lighter than the color in the pic & with the mag. metal. paint IMO the gun black would look better.

Rep Power: 0 Heh, sorry dru, your question threw me off.
I decided to go with #1 after all, primarily because it was my first choice, they were on sale, and they're the lightest of the bunch. I also noticed that the Sokduo gun metal is more of a light gray too gauge, which is why I went with the darker gray/black of the RS limiteds.
I guess my next question is how far I should drop it with 215/45/17 tires.

Rep Power: 0 I would say #3, or the Motegi's posted above...but it looks like you've already made your choice....the ones you picked will look sweet on your ride as well. I'm also in the rim shopping phase myself...those are all nice.
