Well, first of all, i would like to thank everyone for their quick and insightful input.
but i've pretty much got my heart set on a white set of rota grids
i heard, rotas have a bad rep, but hey, i've got an automatic, not like im drag racing anytime soon/at all (esp with like 127HP
)
but i still have 3 questions
1. How do I determine if i need 4x100 or 4x108
2. Drop car before or after rims?
3. Approx how much is a 1.5~2 inch drop (not self install, springs + labor)
Thanks again guys.
I think one of the biggest reasons people buy Volks is because of that anodized bronze finish. No one has been able to replicate it and to this day that bronze is one of the best selling colors, ever.
I have a set of 18" RE-30 in that bronze, and have owned both CE28s and TE37s in that bronze. I wouldn't trade that (plus the additional weight savings, overall strength of a forged wheel, etc) for Rotas if my life depended on it.
Of course if you don't care for the color, weight, and everything else associated with the costs of purchasing "authentic" wheels over the replicas, then go for it. Talk to JLB Motorsports they have the best deals on Rotas (with or without tires) hands down.
Nope, i dont even like bronze, no offense, but to me, bronze is like polished turd color
and thanks for JLB motor thing, they have a great extensive website packed full of good/affordable rims
The wheel you posted is a Forged Magnesium TE-37 costing about $6000 for the set. They were only available in two sizes in the US: 18X8.5 and 18X10 I believe.
Yea......i dont think i'll ever get rims that cost half my car
You don't have to spend $1000+ dollars to get legit wheels.
this is true
rb motoring sells jdm wheels all day long for great prices, and they get new shipments in all the time, and shipping is very reasonable. i bought my advans from them.

The selection on that website is so crap, sorry to say
i bought my rotas from wheeldude.com. prices includes shipping. I didnt pay for shipping cuz i picked them up haha.
Expensive; doesn't have grids
