Gold RPF1s or Hyperblack Gravels for summer wheels?

Post by sirwilliam »

As you know my car is being fixed. And since I sold my silver T3s, I picked up a set of 18 x 8 Rota Gravels in Hyperblack. Right now I have the RPF1s mounted to a set of max summer tires but was thinking of swapping those tires on the Gravels and put some snow tires on the RPF1s for the snow.

I still like how the Goldies look on the car and it may just being cheaper/easier to leave the summer tires on...and the RPF1s are lighter which would be better in the summer vs. winter.

This.

Why use the lighter wheels for summer? The darker wheels are also more in the winter color scheme.... Not that I have EVERY been in to color scheme's....

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I'll be happy to try them out for you :lol:


I think you made the right choice, aesthetically and functionally.
