Was reading a thread on here where people were making a joke out of those Rotas (as well as Varrstoens but not as bad) = /

True that...just hope the Varrstoens will hold up...and hopefully this doesn't happen but if the wheels crack because of their inferior quality and cause damage to my car...fml...guess I can take the chance I can't find any threads where that specific design cracked or broke...I don't want to be riding on stock 17s for a long time lol..

So i guess what i'm saying is don't get expensive wheels now if you can't afford it. And since you don't want to roll stock, then get whats in your budget.

Then later on, just upgrade.

they should hold up no problem. usually they only crack if someone runs over a 1 foot deep pothole or kisses the sidewalk at a good speed.

normal driving shouldn't crack them. people stress out too much about that.

roads here aren't that much better. avoid what you can. small potholes shouldn't do anything.

19x9.5 +30 should fit without fender work, if it's dropped with camber arms correct? And I should get hub rings since the bore is 73.1?

you dont NEED hubrings, but i recommend it.

as for fitment. I'd ask a fitment guru about it. I don't know about the sedans.

Well I have this annoying thump usually when I first start my car in the morning and back out of my driveway(Only when turning the wheel) I've did my research and people say its the compression rod/bushings and some say its the ABS self test.

I only have this when I first start my car( sometimes when I'm driving and turning at a very low speed ) thats it.

Also when I ride and go over a little bump it sounds as if something is loose underneath and is going to just fall right off but when I check there is nothing visibly loose....

Help :/
