A pic of your car might help.
Personally, machined = no.

Image linking done right. Rocket surgery. Previewing would have circumvented this.

Thank DualSoul Cardomain changed since the last time I check their site when I select copy image URL on the site didn't notice it's not the JPG file - LOL

so guys machine = no?

why? hmmm I'll google that now...

[terapr0]

I think those rims are hideous. They look cheap & tacky.
Just my opinion....do as you wish, its your car.

[kcirtap]

@terapr0 thanks for the feedback appreciate it. :D

That's the reason why I posted it here to get everyone's opinion to help me decide.

Yeah, if the wheels were all one colour, they'd probably be pretty okay. But the black with machined face is yucky to me as well.

Is $1500 your budget? If so, you could definitely get into some really NICE wheels, especially if you consider something used.

[zzz3]

i will sell you my advans if you can wait 4 more months :chuckle.

but yeah you can definitely do WAAAAAAAAAY better than that for $1500. there are a few sets of volks on kijiji right now around that price.

[6strings]

They look "meh" :s With that budget you can get a better set.

[cSPEED]

Please don't buy these. As everyone else said you can day way better for $1500.

[kcirtap]

yup that's my budget at least $1500 an it's tight :D
Also as much as possible I want it new with new tires, I'm still on my winters since my old ones are dead.

How about this one?

If you like 'em, go for it. Again, I'm not really a fan personally... but it's your car man :)

For $1500, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, you could likely easily find yourself in some used RPF1's with tires. I think that's something to consider.

If you shop online, you can get brand new rpf1 in 17s for 1100 and 18s for 1400. PM alphamotorsports (doesn't have to be rpf1, can be other enkei's).

[kcirtap]

hmmm i think i'm loving the RPF1's :D

What color matches for Carbon Grey Mica? SBC?

Try Simply Tire for RPF1s.
