Im pretty close to getting the P45R but any other suggestions would be great. all the wheels i went through arent the 5 spokes, or the color is way off. $2000 for wheels is also not an option for me

here are the wheels im thinking about (P45F)

Sportsmax??

scmtkings4: I believe this is what you are looking for, best match up as far as I'm concerned. I would go p45r all around/hyper black

^^yeah i saw that. The only reason that wheel looks similar in color is because the dude took pics in DIRECT sunlight. I want a wheel that will look like the same color everywhere.

And no those arent sport maxes. Haha another dude mistook those for sportmaxes too. Those are the Rota P45F wheels

The Hyper Black color is a bit lighter now. Rota did change the color recently and now it doesn't have as dark of a tint. Also the P45F is the front wheel in the staggered setup as pictured on the White Z with the Royal Steel Grey wheels. The P45R is the wider 18x9.5 that people often run as a non staggered setup all around.

I don't have new pictures of the P45R yet in the new color as we just special ordered these (18x9.5 +20) but here is a picture of our subaru fitment Torque in the lighter color.

This color looks amazing against a silver car.

same problem here,
i have a chrome silver Z and dont know what color the wheels should have.

first i thought black or diamond black, but i do not like the silver ring when you look from the side.
now i am thinking about mercury silver or gunemtal.

I also have a Chrome Silver Z and was up in the air about rim color but I knew I def didnt want a silver rim on my car as they always remind me of stockers. I'd say anything but silver or chrome would look good. On the Carbon Silver I like Black or GM, on Chrome Silver I like Bronze Black or GM. I ended up going Bronze XD9's myself.
