I like the green, just because I've seen so many white hatches already with red Rots GT3's :D

They are both a bit bright imo for a white car. I would go black or gunmetal. I do like the style of the grids tho

Agreed, hard to go JDM when Rota isn't JDM at all...

yeah man...dont go rota!!

you pic up a decent set of actual JDM wheels for about 400-500 2nd hand and just refurb them if you want in a different colour. just dont go with rota...a poor mans JDM...and noone wants to be classed as that! :P

k then ill say im semi-JDM, as i really like the green rotas. did fid some ridl'x euro'x (thinks thats right :? ) but they were i need of a fully refurb and had no tyres, the rotas i can get for £589 with T1-Rs.
ill get some pics of my car up when i collect it, already got a pretty good list of parts im saving for, think im goig for a spoon/buddy club mods with lots of carbon. thanks guys

i 2nd slip. t1r's are rubbish for here in the UK as they just dont perform in the wet. go for yamaha s-drives or parada spec2 or even BF goodrich edge profiler's i think theyre called. got them on the back of my eg and are pretty good, better than t1r's.

tbh mate...there's not a single ounce of JDM in rota's just save your pennies, ti's definately worth it.

ive got t1-rs on my track fiesta and there really good, loads of grip wet and dry. but the wheels package does include s-drives at the same price so ill try them. i think im going to go for the rota as i really like the style and colour.
btw, there no need for the sarky comments, if you dont like T1-Rs then you dont like them, but dont have a pop just because i think there good from personal experience. rant over

I wasn't having a moan. It's a fact. If anyone thinks T1R' are great, that's because they havn't tried decent tyres. Also, sorry to sound like a dick, T1R's are designed for the road, not the track.

those seem kinda flashy. just asking for attention (thieves, cops, ricers) but if you must, go for the green. :thumb:
