I like the p45f's more, but can't remember seeing them on a dsm to judge whether or not they'd look good on one :)
 
Crapy Photo, but still...

I traded some Rota Torques, 17x8" for these 16x7" Slipstreams. I liked them for drag/racing wheels... They are light as freaking hell... and like very surprisingly lightweight. However I cannot stand anything smaller than 17's... Just looks like crap in my opinion...

If you want them for lightweight wheels, go for the Slipstreams. Looks, go with the others... I like those others alot...

Same car with 17x8" Rota Torques:

I love the white on red you posted 98gsxtuner. To the OP I would go with the P45F. Here is a picture of my car with 18" this is how I bought the car.

Here is a pic of Mr Bentley's 19" Axis Hiros powdercoated black. I am sure flat would look good as well.

i like the P45F's but im sure the other ones would look just as good
 
I like the P45F's. Iam not a big fan of flat black, but it well look good with ether one man. go with what you wont man:thumb:
 
The P45Fs are knock-off's of Nissan wheels, and for some reason if a rim is "car specific", I believe it should stay that way...kinda gives it that mis-match flavor to it which kinda throws me off for some reason. Its a nice wheel, but why try to compliment the roundness of a 2g with such a "boxy" wheel? (If thats even possible LOL, but you know what Im getting to). I personally say the Slipstream's would look 10 times better.
 
P45F for sure. I've seen too many Honda's with the Slipstream's and I've also seen photos of the Slipstreams broken, the P45F are newer wheels from Rota and are stronger. Besides, the P45F also look much better. Check out the hyper black and the Time Attack colors.
 
I don't like Rotas, but I always thought Rota Boosts look really good on our cars. Of course if you can afford the real Advan RGIIs, that would be teh hotness. Or 5zigen fnro1c look good on our cars, and no one will be able to give you crap for having knock off wheels. Please get at least an 8 inch wide wheel though, your gonna need all the traction you can get with a built motor!
