New wheels for the 280

[Sunny Z]

Its looking more and more like i'll be going to a 5 lug setup after all. I like the look of my car on the Rota wheels (what its on right now).

I'd like to keep something similar.

How do these look?

they look the same. so they look good

They look like Superlights, always liked those wheels on 280's but other than lug setup they look like the same you had.

The major difference is with the lip. The RB-R (current) has the lip all on one plane.

while the RK-R has a stepped lip, and the spokes are narrower. also, to my knowledge this is the only color you can get them in.

not a huge difference, but its noticable.....

[RedRocketZ28]

I like them.

Pick up the ones from Jordans garage.... I like the stepped lip. Gives it a little bit more

[chayxse]

what brand are the new ones? (edit - see the rota boxes now) If you feel like shelling out a couple $K's, and the deciding factor is the lug set up, get some RS-Watanabes. They are exactly what you are looking at, with thinner spokes and stepped lips, available in 4 lug, and not knock-offs.

Also, what size are you looking at? 17's?

Sorry for swamping this thread, but it appears Rota sells the RK-R in 17x9, et20 thru -10, in 4 lug.

or some smaller widths

So it looks like you aren't limited to switching to 5 lug.

I like them Josey.

They don't show anything but an 8.5" in the non hideous blue. I'm sure they're out there somewhere though.

Ehh, I like the ones you have already. If you're gonna go through the hassle, might as well do something that's different. Lot of time, money, and energy spent on having essentially the same exact look when all is said and done.

[c_mart_28]

I dig em.

[sparkles]

You also dig dudes, so that's not saying much.

I don't want to tell you how to live your life but... black ccw classics, polished lip, gold arps.

maybe in the future, but i don't have 2K to drop on wheels right now

[Domestic Disturbance]

haha ya thats understandable. CCW classics are like the samuel adams of wheels though. Always a good decision
