OH...MY...GOD......teaser pic of my new wheels

i FINALLY ordered my wheels, after months (and months) of deliberating. i got them after work today so too late to get mounted, hopefully can tomorrow morning (but may need a roll so i will probably have to wait even longer

if you're gonna hate on the brand, PUH-LEASE go elsewhere and don't rain on my parade!! if you want to send me donations to upgrade to a name brand, i will happily accept ...until then, i can only afford what i can afford, and i love 'em.

just took off the wrapping to inspect them, still in the boxes.




UPDATED PICS - ADDED 2 HERE AND SOME MORE ON PAGE 2!!

What is up with your 8 in the background?
Do you have it sitting on the rotors or is it an optical illusion?
Man, that's low!!!

Rims look real nice!

thanks maz. ha ha, no, my driveway is a steep incline. it's ridiculous really. the 1 inch garage bump stop thing...yeah i almost hit that everyday b/c of how it slopes but then goes flat at the garage. i'm lowered, and ms bumper obviously, but it's just ridiculous!! ha ha. i was sweating bullets when i bought the house...thought my 1st "project" was going to be flattening out the driveway somehow!

ha ha, are you like atilla?? you just sensed it?? i guess you know your wheels, i should give you credit. yes, you are exactly right. i got 275/35 tires all around. i know i'll need a roll, but i'm holding on to slim hope that i won't. at least getting tires and tpms mounted tomorrow.

yeah you will need a roll and potential pull. I had 18x9.5 +27 with 275/35 and required a pull front and rear to fit.

yeah the concavity is perfect i think. can't wait to see them on. i rolled them along my floor to get a motion visual...ha ha, i'm a loser........never bought new wheels before though so it's cool

@ you rolling them on the floor to get a visual

that's worse than what i did with dozers wheels - i put them on a pillow next his car and took a picture then ms painted them on....


congrats! have fun at the shop tomorrow getting those badboys fitted. Remember to go to a legit shop, not some janky mom n' pop shop that doesn't have a clue on how to roll fenders. Last thing you want are some waves in your fenders with your new wheels

Nice, I have the P45R's bronze 18x9.5+30 on 255's all the way around and it is lowered (Its in the aggressive thread) Those are some really nice wheels for the money in my opinion and they are not heavy at all they are actually lighter than stock I believe (I could be wrong) My 8 is nordic green and I was hoping to see someone else with these wheels with a different color 8. Make sure to post some pics, again, nice wheels.

They are pretty dark but once you put them on, they will look lighter. Even when they are dirty, they still look normal lol, once you clean them, they look very tastee... no homo. I actually rolled mine along the ground but with them mounted on the tires.

ha ha ha, stfu man!!

yeah that is worse - i can see you doing that though. hey not a bad idea, maybe i'll go set a pair on one side by the oem wheels and see how they look!! DAMNIT that's a great idea!!

true. well i'm going discount tire to get the tpms switched over and tires mounted. i have a good shop here that i trust, but no estan open on the weekends, f*ckers. so i guess i'll have to wait until monday to get them fitted. boo

oh cool man, i'll have to look there for your post, i hadn't seen them on an 8 before. well, dozer's got the p45f's and they look bad ***. bronze on ng sounds good too! post up a pic here if you got it handy. i'll definitely update when they're on, or at least when i have the tires on.

hey man, Rene could probably help you roll those over at Rebreu if you're needing some help with that. wheels look dope too, what wheels are those, and why would anyone hate on the brand? My Work's are off getting powdercoated and re-polished right now, can't wait to see those looking like new again

hey randall, how are you man?! i almost pm'd you to show you. glad you found the thread. powdercoating your wheels...a different color?

ah i don't know, some people hate on knock-offs. they're rotas. not the cheapest by far, but definitely not the most expensive. i actually got really high-end tires, so my wheel budget was pretty minimal. but i love the style, expensive or not i wanted a concave/dish 5-spoke.

yeah i'm going to call gene monday. i called last week to set up an appt but he was out (vacation?) all last week - i don't want to deal w/ anyone but him and rene, even tho i'm sure the whole shop is good. oh, it's been forever since we talked - but he painted and installed my ms kit. did a great job too.
