18" Flat Black Rota Grids w/Red TA Stripe

My car is finally coming together, I'm so happy with the new wheels Yes they're cheap, and I think they look awesome. No, I'm not worried about them failing, or really anything happening to them, so you need not even go there haha.

You can't see the wheels in all the pics but, everyone likes pictures right?

Rims are 18x9.5" Rota Grids with an offset of +20

Duly noted, however it's already a pain in the ass to drive around with it as low as it is. Also, I don't think I'm gonna add any spacers, I have plenty of other things to spend my money on haha. The offsets on these are +20

Here I made a couple of them into HDR's.... came out pretty cool. I'm beginning to be more of a fan of HDR's that just look like really nice, REAL photographs, not necessarily ones that look ridiculous haha.

They were a bit of a biatch to put on honestly. I think they'll probably be pretty durable but, since they've only been on the rims about 4 days, and the rims on the car since today haha I can't really speak for their durability.

I got them on eBay, there are a lot of companies that sell them. You can basically get them in any rim size and width of the vinyl that you want.

No. With it lowered as is, and with the front lip I have, I scrape all the time, any lower would be retarded.
