If you go with the bronze, you will be like everyone else.

Bronze on green might be a fairly distinct look.

Not a lot of green cars out there. And the Black with polished lip is "the new bronze". But it's an extra $20-25 a rim, and I don't care for it, and the place I'm looking at only shows the Silver and Ti/Bronze in 17x10.

All black would look cool too. Silver is nice as well. I recommend silver.

The 5Zs are super played out, but still waaaaaaaaaay better looking than the rotas imho.
Yes, because looks win races.
Ryan, be wary of Rotas in low tolerance areas such as brake rotor and suspension clearance. I've read numerous posts and seen a picture on EvoM where people with Rotas have had the wheels hit their calipers because they flex so much under lateral stress.

I too have seen the horror pictures/threads. I'd personally steer clear of Rota wheels for a competition car.

I've seen the stuff on Rota's as well. Never seen anything bad about P45's though.

I love my p45's! I haven't actually seen anything wrong with any rotas, only posts about people saying they 'had heard' this and that. Rota and suby/wheeldude.com joined into a few threads and posted some lists of competition cars that ran Rotas. Just my $.02 :)
I run the P45F's on my car. They are very similar, just not as concave. 8.5" wide vs the R's 9.5. Rota is making a 10.5" wide rim now for the X, you should see if one of those would fit :)

I'm pretty well set on the FNO1R-c's, though I was looking at some 10.5" Mustang replica's, but they were heavy, ~29lbs. With the 10's I might be able to get away with just rolling the fenders, the 275's are on the smaller side of what you can put on 10's. I've seen 18x9's with 275's on a 3S, bones stock no rolling or mods.
Super Bleeder!!
