Default My rota Grids

Well thanx to Dan at Wheeldude.com and his outstanding customer service, i finally have purchased a set of Rota's. Rota Grid in Hyper Black 18x9.5 w/ 255/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear. Im running Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires. These things ride really really smooth, and take turns like a champ...Here are some pics to show it off, let me know what you guys think...

Looks pretty sweet, but I'll be the first (but not the last) to say you need a drop.

Just out of curiosity, why did you do a square wheel set-up and throw on staggered tires?

BTW, looks good... +1 on drop.

I love my Hotchkis springs. It drops about an inch all around (more or less) and it actually rides a little better than stock.

<--- Anxiously counting down until the OP adds the Nismo stickers to the Rotas just like he did with the five spoke stock wheels.

OP, I was only kidding, I very much doubt that you will sticker these wheels.

Also, despite what anyone says, people can do what they want with their cars. Is it kinda sad to put stickers where they don't belong? I guess but it really doesn't affect me so do whatever makes you happy.

Its all good. No stickers on these wheels trust me. BTW the NISMO stickers of the stock rims are off too It was just a temporary thing i did. Those wheels are up for repainting for the winter time. But yes people can do what they want with their cars, its their property. i usually get bored when i throw some things on the car, they come off shrotly after so no biggie for me.
