Having ran my TEs with A048 for a while, it's time to buy another set of rims for daily street use =)

I just got a boner.

oh wait..what? well either way both rims look good. I'd say the gold, it seems to work very well with the blue.

Advan RG's

You should look into some bigger wheels, maybe some 17s.

i cant get down with TE's anymore.. as for the RGII's, for some reason i always picture those as a FWD wheel. i like the gold better myself. i'd toss some RPF-1's on there myself.

I like the TE's a lot better, but maybe because they are white. I don't like the gold on that blue at all. But I also come from owning multiple Subarus........ and that is the only blue that gold belongs on. The white is sick on that dark blue. I would have to see white RG's on there are RGII's even better yet. TE's are definitely lighter than the non-forged Advans!

The white ones have a nicer style, and the white goes better with the car.

Don't listen to everyone else about 17s, props for staying away from oversized wheels it matches your car well.

IMO TEs look better.

Don't stare too long you may go outside and set fire to your car because of its inferiority to this one.

Please, PLEASE........ do NOT go 17's. You car looks sick the way it is. No amount of wheel sizes up to how those already look on your car. I love your choices of wheels. Too much in fact to decides which I like the most. The gold wheels look to be a little lighter, and being that their gold it would be easier to clean'em than the white ones. If you decide to sell either set, I will more than gladly pay you for them.
