Eww.. no Esp with those lug nut covers.

IMO the FC needs a simple, not too busy rim.. such as the Wantanabe, TE-37, Konig Helium.. I even think the Regamaster/Spoon/Rota Slipstream would look nice on it.

If you are looking low cost I think these Enkiei RSF2 would look good and are only 111.00 each.. I think they are kinda heavy thou.. 19 lbs each if I remember

i like the konig heliums.. but they dont' come in my lug pattern...
I'm interested in these rims because they are cheap..
I acually want to buy rota subzero or grids.

Get the Subzeros then.. they are a nice, light, quality rim even if they are knock offs. They stand behing their products too.

www.machiii.net has good prices.. I don't know if they ship to Canada thou.

i'll probably ship it to the states to save tax anyways. Then i'll pick them up and install it in the states. But for the subzero, i have to pay a lot more than for the theory's..

I would save the money and get the rims you want. The rims can make or break a car.. When I had my stock rims nobody looked at my car.. now with my c-8's I get tons of looks and all of a sudden.. wow that's a clean FC.. where before it was just as clean but nobody paid attention.

You do not want to spend $300.00 for something you don't like and will have to replace. It's better to just spend the extra 200.00 for so and get the rims you want.

I know. you have a really good point. The problem is that i don't really want to order online and have to ship it to a post office and pay even more money. I just want to find a physical store that sells these rota rims... But i'm having no luck finding a store.
