gold rota jmags on a black ep?

[RHCP0801]

i was thinking about getting some 16" gold jmags for my black ep...what do you guys think? i think it would look sick but just wanted some other opinions. 17" jmags would be too big right?

my ep, soon to have tint and hfp kit

[RHCP0801]

I bet it will look good! gold on black is sexy, get em and take some pics :D

[ep_hatcher_510]

there was someone here before the crash that had that set up.

[RHCP0801]

yea i think it will look good too...i will probably get them in a month or so

16s look too small to me. I would go 17" or maybe even 18".'

maybe some Rota Subzeros like this in 17" with some sticky tires.

I like gold a lot, but at the same time gold and bronze are very common. Go for something more unique.

I the UK ep3s come with 17" rims so a lot of people upgrade to 18" rims. Something to think about.

[RHCP0801]

na no 18....they are kinda expensive in 17" so idk

[Princess]

Rotas are about the cheapest rims you can get that still look good. Welcome to the game. lol

Maybe some 17" Rota Slipstreams would be a reasonable price.

I would check ephatch's classified section for some rims you like and then you can repaint them whatever color you like.

Good luck in your hunt. Remember that 16" rims might be too small if you get a big brake kit.

[RHCP0801]

the 16" jmags cost $600 shipped on ebay without tires...on some other wheelsites they go for over $200 each so yea these arent cheap. I wont be getting a big brake kit, just slotted rotors

[MugsyTheGr8]

i like the polished idea better than gold.

[Stanz0r]

Bronze rims would look good, but I'm not a fan of that style.

[RHCP0801]

yea its between polished and gold

[bdooley]

personally imo jmags belong on older hondas. not a fan on our body style.

[Princess]

I think you're right. What kind of rims are on your ep3? Pics?

[2004ep3hatch]

i moved it for ya!

[RHCP0801]

thanks, ok well i can see it looking better on older hondas so any other suggestions?

That's pretty cheap dude. I just bought a set of wheels for what I call "cheap" & paid more than double. My next set be double that.

As for the topic at hand, I'd like to see polished-- I like the gold, but the polished lip ON the gold sucks. Badly.

[RHCP0801]

yea idk....i like the way gold and bronze look on black

[Princess]

Maybe you should paint your stock wheels black and get some new tires and think for awhile what rims to get?

Have you looked HERE (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/wtpack.jsp) yet?

[RHCP0801]

[civsirmt]

the gold would be nice i have considered it, i say just get some good tires and save up and get works,volks or some high end wheels.

[RHCP0801]

those wheels are a bit too expensive for me

[MugsyTheGr8]

i like konig rengades. they are advan rg/ black racing pro n1 replica

$440 shipped from JLBmotorsports.com in 16x7 4-100

Are those 16 or 17" J Mags? They look pretty good on the ep3 in those pics.

[RHCP0801]

[RHCP0801]

im pretty sure those are actually the real mugen ones the jmags are based on, see the logo on the one spoke

im going to dissagree with you sorry princess...

i think 18s are too big looking on the ep, i think 16s actually look really good with a 50 or 45 series sidewall, which is still a very useful sidewall for the street as well...the 16s have a more aggressive sporty look that the jmags kinda require, if you go too big on them they are going to look like giant plates with a piece of rubber pulled around them since they are an older style wheel they look best with a lil rubber around them

as for the bbk, they might not fit you are right, but the thing is, ive got type s/type r brakes now, and they have PLENTY enough stopping force for the street, i can barely get them hot enough to make good use of them, bbks are a waste on the street


personally imo jmags belong on older hondas. not a fan on our body style.

i agree they are an older wheel that were designed for older hondas, but i havnt seen them on the ep, and id bet they really wouldnt look bad at all, id bet they would look good


my suggestion is though gold might look good, id personally stick to polished, though ive never been a huge polished fan i think that would be the right choice for these wheels on your black car... :mwink: thats just the car designers oppinion hahahaha

[Chazwick05]

they aren't jmags, but they are rotas, and gold with a polished lip :mbiggrin: D2 17x7.5" with a +45mm offset


edit: lol forgot to add the pic

[RHCP0801]

werddddddddddddd

[Princess]

Maybe I just want 18s because I have never had them before. I probably would get sick of the rougher ride.

[MugsyTheGr8]

its gonna look sick. i love the way they look on hatcher 510's car.

[civictype_r04]

My buddy has gold j-mags on his black del sol and it looks good.
