Ordered Grids in FRSB
Originally this was to get other ppls input, but i ordered my wheels so i just decided to change the name.
Ordered Rota Grids, 16x7 in Full Royal Sports Brozne from JLBmotors for $490 to my house by the end of the week. Had 5Zigens order but canceld cuz i got screwed around on them.

Rep Power: 260 no subzero are in 4 lugs. rota torque are only available 4 lugs in 15". other than 15" is only 5 lugs
exactly what i am looking at right now lol.
considering the grid in bronze, or RSB, or the subzero in gold now. not sure.

Rep Power: 281 They are a slight darker than those...if you're looking for a light bronze, I would prob go for reg. bronze. No pics but Im running 16in. 205/50 on a NPB vic.

Rep Power: 260 yah i will have the same setup, 16" grid, FRSB, 205/50, NHBP, and red zigen lugs. i didnt order them yet because they are being shipped to the states. apprently on the same crate that my 5Zigens FN01R-C wheels were on till i canceled them. only ones in stock are the blue ones.
my set shipped was $490. wheels and caps, think i may order the carbon fiber center caps though. they have the red slash through the R on them and it would go good with the zigen lugs

for you information i had a set of 5Zigens, "the real deal" but canceled them bceause tuition was due right after i ordered and realized my education was more important than my car.
since you work in the "wheel business" i figured you would have better than stock wheels, so take those shitty stock wheels and GTFO!

Rep Power: 260 ^^^exactly. i mean seriously, there is no shitty wheels, some are superior to others. i am pretty sure that there is certain standards that the wheel must pass to be produced, and if they dont meet then im sure they wont get produceed
