Black Racing Pro-N1's

$999 for 16x7's w/tires
$1099 for 17x7.5s w/tires

Can't decide on 16 or 17 yet. Trying to avoid rubbing of course, and from what I've heard 16" would perform better.

I'm not sure what quality the tires are, but I'd be willing to fork out a bit more for some decent ones.

They'll be going on a black '98 GSR. Already dropped about 2" on some skunk2 adjustable springs.

I'm thinking about bronze or silver, leaning towards silver.

Here are some pics:

I had never even seen the advan RG's before. Definitely very similar. the RG's look a bit nicer, but very expensive.

Also, make sure to get the correct offset to avoid rubbing...

i like the 2nd color. Keeps the car low key. I love the feeling of riding on rails so I'm riding on 17s.

I can get a set of these with Yokohama Parada Spec-2 205/40/16s for $900 shipped. Seems pretty decent to me.
