You should take the picture down of yourself, or hope that your sweater is flame proof.

With that said looks good, love the concave in the rear, the front wheels not so much. Dont like how the spokes come passed the lip.

agreed, shook my head when I saw the first picture. it's really difficult to take a picture of a person with their car without said person looking like a douchebag (imo), keep the people and car pics seperate.

First pic down, didn't wear the flame sweater today.

I'll try to get some more pics of the rear concave but the front rims don't really stick out that far. The photographer used a fisheye lens so it appears to be sticking out more than it is.

I like them but I the front wheel would have looked better if concave like the rear. Take some daytime pics and bigger to get an idea or let's meet up somewhere so I can get an idea.

Ya, sorry the photographer was more concerned with effects then just a simple pictures. Doesn't really do the rims justice.

I was just wondering, could they look anymore like the Nismo LMGT4's? Wow, Rota surprises me yet again. Then again I just value my LMGT4's that much more.

Ya, the fronts look very similar but the concave of the rear is different. Meh, regardless if they are replicas or not I still think they look good. To each his own.

Nah, I understand where your coming from OP. You saved money where as I spent about a 1000 more. More money for you to mod with. I am just annoyed at Rota for copying every other good wheel design out there. I'm just waiting for the person who slaps a Nismo sticker on there and call it the LMGT4's lol.

I have no problem saying I'm rockin' Rota wheels for that very reason, so much so that I've kept the center cap on. The money I saved was put towards BC racing coilovers and Nitto Invo tires.

Also, I found it very hard finding matte/satin black rims of this style. This was an obvious choice for me.

Yea I get what your saying. I was thinking of powdercoating my LMGT4's but I think there is a problem doing so becuase they are forged and it might weaken the wheel. I might do it down the road but thats a risk i'm going to take. Wish I could have saved a little extra money when buying the wheels but then again I got a pretty good deal. Regardless, it looks nice, keep up the good work.
