sbc on silver. who likes it???

TURBevO8 · Post by **TURBevO8** » January 26, 2008

now as some of you know I have wanted some SBC Advan RGII rims for a while. You may also know I have been debating that color only because I was not sure how it would look on a silver car. I did add some black to the car to offset the color such as JDM MR head and tail lights, a JDM IX rear bumper, and cf side spats and lip. But I finally found some pics of some SBC Advan RS (not RGII) on a silver EVO. Now with a drop and some black parts I think it would look hot, especially with the less blingy 6-spoke RGIIs. But what do you guys think??? Please give some input on this color scheme...

EDIT: Added some RGII pics as well. Those are what I was leaning towards.

and just for fun:

A lot of people do, but I like the 6-spoke better. If I got these RS rims I would get them in the dark gunmetal color. Too bad the RGIIs do not come in that color, only this black chrome, silver, and gold in 18 inch.

it seems everyone is still 50/50 on this as am I. Half my friends tell me to get the chrome RGIIs as well as my gf. The other half of my friends and a lot of the EVO guys on my other board tell me to get the gunmetal RS. If the RGIIs only came in the gunmetal color! Ahhh! This is frustrating! I dont really like the multi-spoke RS wheels but dont really know if I like the chrome as above. One thing is for sure though, not chrome RS. Either chrome RGII or gunmetal RS.

Decisions, decisions. And I thought I already made up my mind till I saw these new pics today....

They're just wheels. Buy them, rock them, sell them. You're not tatooing them on your body.

Im feeling the 6 spokes, in a dark color, preferrably black or gun metal if available. If you could find a used set you could always powder coat them the color you want.

True but here is the thing. SBC RGIIs at the current cheapest price are $2,325. Then add around $800 for some 255/35/18 tires. That is some serious cash for a guy like me (maybe not some rich kid though).

The RS I just got a quote on from a shop that has one set in stock. $1,950 shipped. Then add $800+ for tires.

So either way we are talking some serious money. And for that reason I am treating this like a "tattoo" because that is a lot of money to drop on something unless you are 100% happy.

Some kid in PA has a set of used gunmetal RS with a little curb damage for $1,400. I am going to see what it might cost to have that touched up.
