Re: Post pics of your ride!
I think there'll always be a crowd that will...I sold my CPRs for $1800(in rough shape.clean sets were/are over $2k) and I'm sure I could get more than I paid new for my EVOs too.The real quality,brand name wheels will always bring good money,whether it be BBS or Jap crap.I think TEs are the classic wheel that will come to most people's minds as far as modded Japanese cars.
It's hard to beat RSs,but on many Japanese cars they just don't look good IMO.The line between current styles for Japanese cars and 80's era Lowrider magazine type stuff are starting to blur with me to an extent.

Uh... Unfortunately there are some low offset concave rota's (5 spoke) in roanoke...because I have that dookie on my car until tax time. There are another set on another s13 hatch near me too. Dude took his car to the same painter, did the black roof and the same exact wheels in the same exact finish and offset. SWVA = dook even gets copied!

Re: Post pics of your ride!
Obviously,my statement is very generalized..There are going to be some Japanese cars that the RSs look good on...But,in my opinion,most of the cars you posted would look better with different wheels,the exceptions being the EF(which they do look era-correct on that car,sort of like they do on an E30).They're complete dook on that WRX,and the IS would look so much better with different wheels.I guess my biggest thing with RSs is that they're an old wheel,and in my mind they just look weird on newer vehicles.

Kinda like you said take the BBS RS on that IS and replace them with say.... LMs and you would have a much better looking stance IMO.
