help me out, trying to decide which wheel to keep and which to sell.

i would like to keep both, but i need to get rid of one set to fund my plan adding other things to the car.

im leaning more on keeping the axis, but would like to know what you guys think if you had to choose.

axis OG and why i like it is, it's a classic look, keeps car clean looking, doesn't rub, love wheels with a lip.

rota grid and why i like them, concave design, gives the car more of an agressive look, but they rub and are too green.

tell you the truth... IMHO i love them both, but if i had to keep only one set, id go with the OG but then again the OG will make you more money, but the rotas will sell better in the market because of the honda kids everywhere... but i love the OG though.. i wish i had a set...

there is ur answer, yang buy his og's lol. i like the og's but they imho look too oldschool for the ae92 body, specially with the levin front. i like the rotas, they make the car look like it has a wider track and a more road hugging look. but in a different color would be ideal. say gunmetal???

gunmetal is so played out... and so is takata green, I would do gloss black on that car, would look great.

the OG style looks timeless on the car as well, even if it's an older look.

are they both the same size (width?)

what're the offsets?

I'm not a giant fan of the axis wheels, I'd just sell them and get the green ones powder coated.

the rota grids are a 16x8 +20 with a 195/45/16 (they actually seem more like a +15) the OG's are a 15x8 +25 with 205/50/15. i think im going to stay with the OG's. the rota's in my area are kinda played out also. thanks guys for the input. i actually really like the stance mindset's.

I would also check your RCA kit and make sure you can run it under your 15s. I know he has 2 different kits one for 15s and one for 16s I think.
