Stay or Go?

I just picked up my new wrx this weekend and put some MOMO M1's on it. I am not convinced they suit. I need some different thoughts on them. They are great wheels in terms of weight and finish. But i just dont know. Should they stay or go?

Not feeling them... sorry.

But, I am driving around on Rotas, so what do I know ~ and there is Big Hate out there for Rotas! :rotfl:

But my wheel weight is 16.5 lbs and the tire is 19 lbs! That shaved almost 10 lbs a each corner compared to OEM. FREE horsepower in my book!

I'm not feeling them either. I've never been a big fan of wheels that curve that much on the spokes

IMO, I don't like the "fwd" look on them, re: not "deep" enough looking. Same with the design, a little bit too "blingy" for me.

I cannot get rotas in Australia otherwise i would have got them instead. I thought they looked a bit bling as well and thats the last thing i wanted. Do you guys think it would help if i painted them. Perhaps black or gmgrey.

Go.

I think you can find a set of wheels that better augment the car.

looks too blingy and reminds me of those generic hub caps bling designs. i say bounce out on those set and get something less flashy.

I would have to agree that you should get another set of rim that would look better on your ride.

Out of curiousity, what made you get those anyway?
