Default My new Rota p45r wheels (me likey)

Got my wheels in the other day from wheeldude.com. Dan is a nice guy and got my shoes shipped out quick.

These are pretty affordable wheels for those of us who can't wait to save for a 'real' set of wheels. I am very happy with them so far. If I got my numbers right, I gained about 25-30 lbs total (this includes larger tire weights), but can't feel the extra weight, which is a good thing.

Oh, and my stock lug nuts where too big for the wheel holes (well, they fit, but couldn't screw them in w/ any tool), but that was quickly remedied by trip to Jotech (our local friendly tuner shop) for some smaller spline lugs - I wanted black ones anyway.

Next on the shopping list...lowering.

specs:
Rota P45R in 18x9.5 +20 Flat Black with a 255/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear Hankook Ventus V12 Evo

(no spacers used)

Thanks again Dan!

pics:
Posting some with the ruler if anyone is curious about approx. gap on stock height.

Are you using spacers at all or is that flush by itself. I can't tell if the third from the last picture (which looks flush) is the rear or the front.

Can you post more pics please? I'm getting ready to buy new wheels and these might look damn nice on my DBZ.
