Default Who woulda thought Rota made these!?

Well i have a slammed Z and have had a bunch of sets of rims on it. Right now im running 18x9 18x10 Rays 5zigen 2pc wheels. But was messing round on ebay today and came across these 18x10 18x12 rotas.. And all i can say is WOW. The sizes and offsets are excellent for what im looking for and doesnt break the bank. Thing is, ive been all about rolling on Genuine wheels and have hated knockoffs, just because of how much kids sell them these days and try to market them as real wheels. But for the first time I think Rota has come up big time on these wheels. Whats everyones thoughts? Btw here is the link to the wheels

Those Rota wheels you posted are likely very heavy. I wouldn't put any money into making my 350z any more sluggish than it already is. I'm not knocking Rota per se, just the fact those wheels probably weigh more than your stockers.

I did a 265 35 18 on the 12J. Should have done a 275 40 18

And did a 255 35 18 on the front should use a 265 40 18

Going to raise front of car soon.

No need for spacers. U need to roll rear fenders though.
