Even if they're like this? $400 though.

That's after 2 hours of sanding and polishing apparently

I'd go with the Advan's.
Just try to talk them down of the $400 price. No centercaps + all the polishing work that needs done.

That's EXACTLY what I said. But he said he's trying to get back what he got on them. He just barely bought them off someone else and didn't even open the box yet. He wouldn't even take off $50 :frown:

advans that size normally go for 700-1k on civic forums so $400 is a steal. Try buying the new ones... hope you have about 3k lying around.
EleKid
09-15-2009, 02:27 AM
I don't.. hahaha. I do have $400 though.

+1 on that... I'm pinching pennies because I am up to my neck in bills for the next 6 months. check out this site, great pricing on rota, konig, and 5zigen imo:
click here :p
(http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/rims.html)
ps: konig is cheaper than rota and the same quality... you can definitely find 4 rims shipped for $400 or less

Wasn't that Keith Tinari's set, who nerd_vitZ bought and now he is selling it?
I would buy it in a second, but shipping would kill me.
EleKid
09-15-2009, 04:36 AM
Yeah it is! I'm picking it up locally.

09-15-2009, 05:40 AM

Oh that pic was before? Consider them sold =)
do you think I can get your uncle's number to set up a meeting?

If you are getting these wheels, I'd definitely get them :thumbsup:

I would go advan... although I'm not feelin' the style of it.
EleKid
09-15-2009, 10:00 PM
Haha then why advans?
^ I bet he's just saying for the brand. Advan's are a good, name brand wheel.
Rota's are okay, but are knock-offs. You get what you pay for. =)

I like the look of the Advans, but the slips are nice too.
Personaly I want a set of Enkei RPF1 type II, but there like $250 per rim.... maybe one day
EleKid

Cool :thumbsup: Real wheels > Fake ass knockoff wheels Imo .
You'll be much happier that you got some pretty rare advans insted of some wack rota slips that everyone else is running and if you don't like them you can alway get some desent money for them on a honda or 240 forum .

09-16-2009, 09:09 PM
good for you... I remember when I was originally gonna buy them and then I got fired from my job (got a new job asap so no worries). Good luck I want to see pics :thumbup:

Sportmax and XXR all the way! Nothing like wheels that are made with lead and recycled metals. They're heavy enough to keep your car from flipping over and are hungry for some pothole action! As for me, I roll Konig. JLB motorsports all the way, baby!
