They look great, I"ve got the same wheels. what size/offset did you go with?

I went with the 9.5 + 20 all around and needed a 15mm spacer to get flush in the rear, I rub a little over major bumps, need to roll the rears

For lowering purposes I put on the tein s-tech, not super aggressive, but I was able to utilize the stock shocks and was able to get within toe/camber specs with the OEM suspension parts. I mean it was just barely within camber spec, but its good.

Let me just reiterate...get a rear camber kit. $165. I have 10 inch rims in the back with +20 offset. I also put eibach prokit springs on, and the insides of my tires were bad in about 3-4K miles. here's what I got. you can install it yourself and it will save you having to buy a whole new set of rears.

Not a huge fan of the wheels they look pretty good on your car though. an inch or more lower and it will look much better.

Comparig a Rolex and wheels isnt right. People wear a fake Rolex to fool people into thinking they are wealthy. People buy fake wheels because they look good - I dont think he is trying to fool anyone saying 'look at me I can afford Volks'. Just my 2 cents.

i know it's pretty dumb isn't it i bought a set of torques NOT bc i couldn't afford the higher price tag wheels, quite the contrary actually. i was looking for a set of phantom gt-30's but couldn't find a used set in the size i wanted after looking for 2-3 months. i had always loved the torques in hyper black so i picked 'em up. saved some money and got a good looking set of wheels. they arrive tomorrow and i'm stoked as a ****!

and no i don't like the work cr kai's. they don't look the same at all IMO.

Hey OP, nice wheels! I just think its funny how people get ragged on for buying Rota brand wheels because supposedly they are "fake wheels", yet nobody says anything when someone buys a replica body kit. Which 99% of the members on here buy.

Looks nice.

Wheel tire sizes are you running. Seems the rear gap is bigger than mine (mine is still on stock suspension , hate living in the midwest area )

i got my wheels n tires from wheeldude today but my lugs didn't show. i took a half day off work to install them and had the tires popped off on one side and unpacked everything and no lugs... apparently they're on backorder. i'm kind of annoyed i didn't get a heads up...

oh i definitely hear ya there, but at the same time, it seems they've been on top of EVERYTHING with the order up until this point. i was honestly boasting about their service to my dad as we were unpacking everything. i thought i would've at least gotten a heads up email or pm on here tried calling Dan 2x today and both times i couldn't get ahold of him and he hasn't called back yet. sounded like they were crazy busy though. oh well, patience is a virtue, i guess

I got mine with the wrong center caps and then had to wait 2 weeks to get the right ones.

People buy fake a fake Rolex because it looks almost as good as a real Rolex but cheaper parts.

Rota copies Volks wheels in looks but they are cheaper because they aren't forged.

I think it's a perfect comparison.
