rota?
I kinda want to get a set of rota subzero as my new daily wheels and keep the 18" Racing Hart M6 for the family new car (my dad is thinking of getting the TSX). Does anyone know where I can get the subzero for good price? The lowest I found is from jaydm.com which they have a set of 16" for 480, and 17" for 520. Next is Machiii. btw, I'm thinking about getting the 17.
I want something simple looking with a the polish lip. Any other suggestion?
Thanks

That's where most places get their wheels from, so it's better to just go to the "source" anyway, they've got great service (with me anyway) and are on-par with what you already see, price wise.
Oh, and none of that out of stock BS.

There have been a few horror stories here or there, 2 or 3 I think, but nothing to be concerned with.
I rode around on 17" subzeros with a 205 series tire, for like 50,000 miles and never had any problems -- no matter how crappy the road.

cool, so what color should I get? My car is current midnight perl black. Soon to be daytona blue. I'm thinking of the steel gray + polish lip. Any other suggestion?

Somehow I doubt you're going to notice your car being much slower with 17's than 16's.
That might hold true with something like a Konig, or an ADR, which are heavy as hell -- but the Rota's 17's are around 16-17lbs, not bad at all.
