I bought 4 tires (Kumho 205/50/15) and put the group buy Rota RB wheels on today. The fit is perfect, offset is correct and it is hubcentric.

Ride is so much nicer, as is the cornering.

Yep, I know, but it was dark outside and the car needed a wash!

These wheels are light!

Amazingly, the steering is about 30% lighter with this wheel and tire set up. Thoughts??

they look great, they really match your car. is you car stock height? if so, you may want to consider lowering it a little bit, as it looks lifted on the front.

Yep, it is stock height. My concern with lowering it is rubbing in the rears.

Also, the car is sitting on a slope, so it looks more lifted in the front.

I do love the look of the wheels....and the fit is perfect.

Looks very nice... never would have even considered Rota's when shopping for a brand of wheels. Nice to have a few more options out there, they're kinda' like Compomotive ML's and a little like Panasports but at the same time a-little different.

Think I'll be checking out Rota's website and see what else they got, nice find grey-center's look killer!, peace out vibrant.

These will not rub in the rears if lowered. I have yet to have an issue with my 15x7's

Looks great especially on that car. You shouldn't have an issue rubbing, that was the point in getting the custom wheels made with the correct offset.

Ok guys...thats the next step. I will look for some lowering springs and swap them out> I agree it will look very good, from other cars that I have seen.

Will keep you posted.
