shit your right, i just checked them the box says 8 the wheel says 7.5. they are in rota boxes with mismatched specs so i have no clue

whats your guess, looks like the GT-n right?

sharp like pizza i am.. what is the offset? i bet is 35 or 42.

give me an hour or two and i might be able to recall the name and maker of the wheel. but that is going to be a stretch.

cool.

you did well.

soduka 10 is what i recall. maker has not come to me.

if you put some 245 40 18 on them you will be very happy, and have some rim protection..

hey does anyone know how much it usually costs to get a set of tires swapped onto new wheels? and do the TPMS usually fit on aftermarket wheels?

need to know if im going to the ATM before i take it over to my garage after work

I paid $20 per tire to have a tire pulled from a wheel and put on a new one.

The rims appear to be ADR Sokudo's... Almost bought a set for my Celica about 5 years ago. (Came in many different colors)

LOL! When I read the title, I thought you "didn't do gold" in reference to taj and him painting his car gold.

Rota doesn't have a rim like that and as the OP mentioned... The wheels are in mis-matched Rota boxes and himself nor the seller knew which brand they actually were...
