r1rider6686 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ok so I got a set of rims with my car when I bought it. They were 16" Rota Circuit 8's. Not exactly my choice of rims but they are ok while I save up for some SSR's or Mugens. I just got my car recently and havent gotten to do much to it yet. Im waiting till tax time to really hit it hard. All Ive really done so far was these rims. Everything else on the car came as is. Im just asking peoples opinion on the workmanship on the rims, not hate mail on the brand. Like I said, they cam with the car. how they looked in the beginning primed painted finished and installed yes, the nos sticker came on the valve cover when i got the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 why didnt you just take it to a repair shop and have them fix the lips on the rim, and why only 3 lugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rider6686 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 why didnt you just take it to a repair shop and have them fix the lips on the rim, and why only 3 lugs? That more stuff I have to replace. I didn't have them repaired because im going to buy a set of Mugens within the next few weeks. I just gotta wait till pay day to replace all 16 of the lug nuts. They are Rota rims so they aren't worth putting a whole lot of money into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravesball20 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Nice Mugens lol. I like the Rota's too but I would probably paint them white if I had them on my Accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Nice.. Now you've got legit and knockoff versions of the same rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rider6686 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Nice.. Now you've got legit and knockoff versions of the same rim. Thnx. I like the style of the rotas but I want to official ones. I got some Mugen center caps yesterday, but was later informed that they were fake. So, I canceled the order and ordered some official Mugen cone centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrIaN EG2 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 not too bad.. but i would have got MF10's or done some work to the car first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rider6686 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 not too bad.. but i would have got MF10's or done some work to the car first I was going to but like i said, the rota's were really jacked up from the previous owners hitting curbs. Plus the mugens were a deal that I couldnt pass on. I already have a b16 so the motor runs strong. just need to swap out old parts for newer quality parts and tuck some of the wiring. Ill get to the body in good time. Ive got some parts picked out that im saving for right now. Im still trying to find a BYS front bumper for it right now though.

BrIaN EG2 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 meh.. i still say power > style.. but i probally would have went ahead and got the mugens as well.. but i would just turn around and sell them for a grip more than i got them for, made that money and put it into the car.. hell my car is done now (well in 3 weeks).. now all i need to do is buy pretty stuff so it can be mag quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1rider6686 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 How do you like the sol? im gonna buy another car in february and im looking at either a sol, crx or an ef hatch. I want something to autocross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 i love it.. i just took it to the shop yesterday so the build will be done finally.. it was a blast with 165whp, now ill see how fun it is with 500 LOL!! but those three choices will probally be your best bet for autocross, the crx would probally be the best since its so light.. a mildly built b series, some damn good suspension work, and some nice BFgoodrich radials and it would be beastly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint looks like crap but I may end up getting rid of my ej6 shell to fund the built and swap the b16 over. I wanna keep it clean cuz itll be my daily.
