Can't decide!!
 
Hello everyone. Been reading the forum for a while and I've been wanting a Fit for months and as fate would have it some moron didn't obey a stop sign when I was doing 45mph on the main road about 10ft. away from the intersection and my 2001 Camry CE aka, good quality automotive TOOL, decided it didn't want to live anymore. Insurance company certified it as a total loss and I'm getting a nice $9k check for it.

I'm gonna be buying a base model VVP MT Fit cash in about two weeks once I finally get the check from the insurance company. Down here in Puerto Rico it will run me about $15k for that model. Sport MT was going for $19k :eek: and I decided that eitherway the ONLY thing I would miss from the Sport model is the cruise control as I have every intention of doing my own body work mods, the auxiliary input can be easily added, and the first thing I'm doing after 20% tint on the back windows and 35% on the fronts is getting a set of wheels.

I'm going to be getting a set in 15" x 6.5" with a +40 - +45 offset with 195/50/R15 Khumo Ecsta tires as I will going every now and then to local track days and whant a light wheel with a good tire that is only slightly smaller than the stock diameter to improve acceleration a little bit. So that isn't my problem. I just can't decide what to get, I'm torn between Rota Circuit 10's (in sports bronze), Rota Slipstreams (in flat black obviously), 5Zigen ProN1s (in flat black or gunmetal gray).

ProN1's

I know this is a very subjective decision but what would you guys go for out of these 3 choices? The 5Zigen wheels are obviously the more expensive ones and are apparently getting hard to find as 5Zigen discontinued them... :confused: Now they appear in several pages as Black Racing ProN1. Confused as to wether they are actually 5Zigen's or not. Anyone care to clarify if they got any info?

If I had money to throw away I'd be getting something like Volk TE37 or GramLights in a heartbeat.

I personally like the Circuit 10's. If you want the Volk TE37's or Gramlights...you should save for them, instead of using your money on different rims that you don't want as much.

just save up and get TE's yo! their the 5hit!!! ... the cups are better though, if you can find a set.

At $300+ a pop, and being that it is a daily driver and I also hang out a lot at night on the weekends, having such expensive wheels would turn me into one paranoid bitch. ;) But definitely the Volks or GramLights are the SHIITT. I do like these 3 choices a whole lot also. And I wouldn't mind that the Slipstreams are "played out", down here in PR I've only seen one car with them and since they follow the look of the Spoons and I'll eventually be puting a JDM front on it it should follow the design of the car nicely, so would the Circuit10's since they are Mugen imitations. The ProN1's, well they just look sick in every way. ARG!! Decisions decisions!!! :confused:

If your going smaller, you should get the watanabes or a panasport wheel. Those are very light and look evil in small sizes and bigger offsets.

I say get the C10's then. ooOOo Bronze... they're so pretty...

nttdemented Dec 8, 2006 06:44 PM

I think I might just go with the C10's in flat black actually since I can get them for so cheap. $450 for a set of 4. :D

JamesBizzle Dec 8, 2006 07:32 PM

Go Bronze Bro!

nttdemented Jan 22, 2007 12:37 PM

Ordered a set of C10's in 15x6.5" Full Royal Bronze. Will take about a month for them to arrive since the supplier doesn't have any available and I'll have to wait for them to receive new merchandise next month.

I have no choice since I'm getting a killer price and the option of paying in 5 payments with no interests. :) Its good to be the network admin for a leading local performance parts shop.

The only change is that I didn't get a VVP base Fit, its SSM. With the black tints a slight drop and full royal bronze c10's it should look killer.
