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: 284 thats what i really wanted, but chris (varner88) said the finish wasnt that good and some other guy said that his finish rubbed off during shipping. thats what kinda concerns me about the RSB

Rep Power: 284 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: 305 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.
nice! How much was your set? You got some 5zigen lugs too?

Rep Power: 284 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: 284 ^^^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
