JLB Motorsports is local shop here in southern California.

I've bought a lot of tires from them in the past. However, I don't have any experience buying wheels from them.

Ha! Then it's really bad updating to have mixed info. Oh...I see the web design company now. That explains it.

Sure, they may be a good company locally, but man they need to step up their game online. I see the entire e-comm store is eBay/Paypal. Sorry if I seem a bit picky. It's what I do for a living.

Wheels are like jewelry on a car. Buy what you want and not what others may think you should have.

Hmmm...with 18x8 you may be safe with +35. Going with stock size tires?

Rota torques specs are:

18x8 + 35 wrapped with 245/40/18



My main concern is I'm not comfortable with fender rolling etc... so I would prefer not to do that

lmao! that's WHY I bought these after I saw your car

all 4 cost me $750, how many Advan's is that? 1 1/2?

I'm sure some people out of ignorance would bash Rota's, but I daily drive this car in NYC and park on the street. I wasn't buying $2,000 wheels, even though I could just as easily afford it.

edit: loool our sigs are pretty much replicas

I hope there is a financial benefit to you for doing that. No way I would put any sticker on my car without the company giving me something in return.

I attend many Mazda Motorsports events and car shows. It's simply for showing my support this season. I don't need anything in return, however there are quite a few benefits. http://www.racersedgemotorsports.com/

Never said you needed anything I'm just saying my car is not available for free advertising. But it is your car and sounds like you are getting something in return
