New Wheels, Sportmax 002. What colour should I choose?

[NikDev]

Hello people! I have decided to switch my 13" for some 15" rims next season

The plan is to buy Sport max 002 wheels, 15x8 Et0 and a nice lip:cool:
And they are cheap so i don't need to worry to much about curbing and destroying them, as it will happen, my Rotas don't look too good anymore....

My car looks like this with my 13x8 rota`s(et04)

I am currently in the middle between gunmetal or red, What do you think i should go for?

[sirspanky]

red - color match FTW

[Ricepatrol]

i like the rota rb's that you have on the now. not to say the sport maxx's aren't good looking.

[Biesey]

gun metal would be my choice...

[MikeHardy]

colour match the rota's with highly polished lip.

[YLD244]

if u get red, it wont look that good cause they wont be the same red.
theres nothing worse that seeing a car where someone tried to color match their wheels, and its a completely different shade. Especially if its white.

So yeah go with gunmetal, u cant go wrong.

[kyle242gt]

13X8 is just about the coolest size ever. If you can fit them over your brakes, roll with it.

[NikDev]

The problem with the Rota`s is the height on the car if i go for low profile wheels, I just cant get it low enough, and I believe it will look stupid.
And the tires i got on now, 195\55-13 is way too high, and not ideal for drifting.
With 195\45-15 on the 15" i will not change the roll diameter that much..

I believe I am going for the gunmetal ones!

[nederzweed]

gunmetal!!!

I would've said red (of course) but I agree. Red is very difficult to color match and looks terrible if the shades are different. Of course, you could just get the car painted to match the rims!!!!:-P:-P:-P

red will look goofy. Especially accented with that chrome polished lip.

Like mentioned before, it will be an off-red colour....

I think the black/gunmetal would really compliment the car because of all the black trim on it.

[Chrisco]

Gun metal. I like the colour of the Rotas on your car though. Too bad those Rotas are so tiny.

[socalsean]

You could always buy Rotas in the proper sizing....couldn't you?

Thats what I was thinking, its probably a different red than the car.

195/45/15 will make your car sit 6mm higher then it is now.

[VolvoPunch]

Keep the gold ones or go with black.

[rancidponymilk]

195/45/15 will make your car sit 6mm higher then it is now.

Yeah, but thats barely anything. At least it would fill out the wheel wells more.

[MikeHardy]

maybe in terms of wheel diameter, the 195/45/15 have a bigger rolling radius hence the height so overall circumference is bigger too which will cut accelerate the tiniest of amounts.

[NikDev]

Yes you can get them in 15x8 too, but I want something new. ;-)

I am liking those 002, and they are getting 4mm further out in my arches too:):

Found a set in gold, have not sen them on eBay. I kinda prefer them over Gunmetal, but not even sportmaxx wheels company site has them listed...

I can always buy the gunmetal ones, and if I am not happy ill get them painted in gold:-P

[Baron Fel]

Black! It would go with the trim and accents so well!

[NikDev]

Hate treads who just dies because of threadstarter never did it...
After a couple of years i finally got some..


Here's how it looked like with the 002`s:
