Rota Finish Help

[arbita1]

I'm going to be getting a set of the Rota's for the street.

I need some help making a finish decision. I'm between the flat black with the anodized finish lips or the gloss black with the polished lips.

Can anyone post pictures of what you have. Red targas are a plus. Thanks.

Not Guards Red (it's Kiln red), but this is my Targa with the polished lips and glossy centers. I really like the look.

Hope this helps.

No, Rota has black gloss wheels with the polished lips. Like this:



Thanks for the picture though.

[scottb]

I see...you're looking at the all-black centers and not the one with polished petals. Sorry. Can't help you on that one.

I saw those.

I'm trying to figure out the finish on the lips of these wheels. It seems like the flat black wheels have a satin finish on the lips where as the gloss black ones have polished finish on the lips.

But I can't confirm.

I put the Gloss Black w/ Polished Rims on and they were...well, I loved them!

Those look great. Any other new Rota owners out there have any input? I'm still having a tough time deciding.

I'm going to be placing the order next week.

I prefer the flat/satin version of those two.


But I got all gloss black(custom, not from Rota)

Its up to personal pref. If you have other chrome on your car the polished might look better.

Post a 90 degree shot of the side of your car and I can throw both on(photoshop).

Here is a quick one of lfot's wheels on scottb's Kiln Red Targa.

I think with the Blacked out trim/Black targa bar/painted headlight rings(ie no-chrome), the Satin black would go better. IMHO.

Here's the best I could do for a side view shot.

That's the polished/gloss right? Looks good but I think your right...I'm going to go with the satin/flat.

Thanks.

Satin/flat for me also..
