Rota haters #2 ~ Help Me!

Hey!

My Sub-Zeros are going to be my 'winter rims' now.

I have both of these sets coming to me in 17x7.5

RPF1 = 15.2 lbs & $1,008.00
RG-R = 17 lbs & $1180.00

Forgive the 'Tire Rack' images...

What should I run for the other 3 seasons?



Point of reference ~ The Rota winter rims...

I purchased some BBS RGR's from BBS of america a while ago. I loved those wheels for so long but I made 1 big mistake. I bought them in 17x7.5. That doesn't sound like a mistake but it was too me. The spokes of the wheel don't go to the lip and it made the wheel look like a 15" wheel. I am totally ok with 17's and 18's look nice but I was disapointed with the way the wheel looked relative to size. The wheel as a whole looked amazing to me, I had the diamond black... I miss those guys

I vote against the RGR unless they are 18's!

Yeah, what's up with that. Completely silent? Here's your chance to lead a Rota boy into the sacred water of forged rims (BBS) or at least a rim that is cast with more 'respect' (RPF1).

I'm amazed. Is the coalition gonna leave me to flounder without your infinite wisdom???
