rocket bunny kit vs wheels
 
whats up im in the market to buy rims or a rocket bunny kit. i know if i get a rocket bunny kit thats 2700 + paint then its a must to buy rims or just buy some bad ass wheels and call it a day let me know what you would do thanks

either both or just wheels. Rocket bunny w/o wheels is foolish

If you get the RB kit you're still going to need wheels to make it look decent because it's a widebody. Expensive, stanced, or deep dished wheels aren't necessary but personally, there's no point in buying a nice, expensive kit and then going cheap on the wheels or not doing them correct to look right.

Also, fitting the RB kit requires extensive cutting of your fenders and rear quarter panels which means more $$ if you don't do the labor yourself.

I like the RB kit but it's too widespread and common on most show/race/shop cars that it doesn't make it quite unique anymore. You can make an equally impressive car without the widebody.

Now let's hear from the RB kit haters and confused stance fitment haters...

if you get the rocket bunny kit, you're going to have to get some crazy width and offset wheels, which are going to cost you a lot per wheel and for the rubber. it could easily turn into a $5000-$10000 investment for something done right.

i say just go for wheels if you're on a budget. if you have money to spend, go for both.

actually i believe you could get some forgestars like other rocket bunny's for just around $1600

What would I do?

I'd look into the total cost of actually properly installing a widebody kit.

If you have to choose either/or, then you probably don't have to funds to do a proper rocketbunny install that'll set you back many, MANY thousands more than just the price of the kit itself.

Wheels, even expensive ones, are comparatively cheap compared to the cost of a proper widebody installation.

rb = everyone and their mom has one.

Plus along with everything everyone already said, if you go rocket bunny it becomes a marriage. Cause you're gonna have to love this look for as long as you own your car. Probably become a hard sell if you decide to part ways. Just look two years into the future and ask yourself if you'll still like the look then.
Just my two cents.

When I saw the title.. I thought your wheels/tires hit your RB kit and for some reason the RB won.. Make sense?

Wheels, duh!!! Widebody on stock wheels is like those kids who bought body kits and couldn't afford to paint them.

Sick BROOOOOOO

I think you need to make up your own mind. You own your car, not us.

Unless you're trying to win a car show, this is not the adult version of prom.

Don't be a silly bunny without wheels.

Really? I actually don't have one yet.. :bonk:

But I agree, Rocket Bunny needs wheels to go with, but this car alone with just wheels already looks damn good. lowered of course.
