I'm after some new wheels for the car, looking for matt black/red lip combos.
Much as I love Rota Torque Drifts in the TA colours, they're unfriendly in the offset department, and I don't want to start rolling arches. So I've narrowed it down to the following two:
Lenso D1Rs:

or Ultralite ATEC IIs:

Will be staggered, 18x8.5 ET35 up front, 18x9.5 ET35 at the back, going on this car:


Thoughts on this or any other suggestions, let's hear em.

Nice wheels Hamish but I'm never having polished lips again. Got a black/red theme going with the car so want to keep that too.

The first ones. I've seen them on a red Rx7 round here and they looked awesome.

Both very nice. Think I'd maybe go for the Lenso's though. Less spokes = easier to clean

It's back on the road as of today, running fine.
Wasn't a water seal it turns out, one of the castings has cracked and leaked around the seal, so that's been replaced. £230 + some labour, cheap fix for a Rex
