Gold RPF1s or Hyperblack Gravels for summer wheels?

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....

Yeah, that is what I decided...was just getting anxious to put on the new wheels to try them out...but I will just wait for winter now.

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


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