On a Cosmic CTR like mine

Bit of a quick effort mate and not my best photoshop effort but might give you an idea :lol:

Thanks Nick,

I quite like them, or the Rota Torques in Silver.

I have photoshop CS but haven't got a clue how to use it

From what it says on the Rarerims site those won't fit a CTR mate. 5x114.3 is what your after, with an offset of ~45.

In that case it pushes me towards some Torques in Bronze 17" :-k

Now that would look good mate 8)

Paul is right that the ones listed on the Rarerims site won't fit (they're all 4x100) but the grey ones in the pic above are 5-stud. Looking at oakos.com they do list them in 5x114.3 8x17 ET48, bit wider than stock but they'd fit.

If you really want the Revs, just give Rarerims a ring and see if they can get you some. You'll have to wait, and from what I gather the supply from Rota can be a bit hit and miss, but it's worth a call if that's what you're after.

Otherwise AFAIK they do the Torques in 7.5x17 ET45, but they're not listed as in stock either...

I've sent an email to Julian at RareRims

They are showing Torques in Bronze 4x114.3 45ET in stock.

Evs · Mar 30, 2006

Paul, they're no good mate - you need 5 x 114.3 :!:

Torques in Gunmetal would look even better, but i'm biased i have a set!

Opps I mis-read another Post, luckily Julian at Rare-Rims noticed and quoted me for 5 x 114.3

J5C has some gunmetal torque's on his Silver CTR, might be easy to photoshop....

paul.goffin · Mar 31, 2006

Quite like them in Bronze 8)

Might try and change them to gun metal and Silver in photoshop.

They look superb in bronze on a Cosmic Paul 8)

^ What he said - that does look mint :smt023 8)

Tbh I think gunmetal would look great too, but probably not steel grey as there'd be no contrast with the car and they might look a bit washed out. Just my 2p though.

I'm still trying to play around with Photoshop trying to show them in Silver and GunMetal. Trust me its almost impossible with a touch pad :evil: :roll:

Evs · Mar 31, 2006

Just buy the gunmetal ones then - silver isn't very JDM and also the Work Emotion CRs they're a copy of only come in bronze and gunmetal... :idea: :wink:

Stop tempting me =;

I'm still waiting for some prices from RareRims.

Evs · Mar 31, 2006

:lol: sorry mate

I thought his prices were generic ie all 17"s the same price? Maybe not any more.

Another suggestion - AFAIK he gives a discount to Honda Revolutions members, might be 10% but not sure. It only costs Ã‚Â£25 to join and it's a cracking club anyway imho, so you might get at least your membership fee back straight away, maybe a bit more.

Just a thought :idea:
