Well I finally got my wheels and got them installed. These pics arent the greatest but they will do for now until I go to Dallas for next months meet. The wheels are Rota Grids Matt Blk, 18x9.5's all the way around wrapped in Nitto NT555's 245/40/18's. I'm dropped on Tein S. Techs with KYB Struts and Shocks..

^ Thankya sir.. I miss them too but I would really have rubbing issues lol, but now I have a new front bumper that isnt messed up from scraping all over town or hitting rabbits lol and it would really suck to mess up $1300 worth of headers and a y-pipe.....

Hows it feel to be done with school?

Damn, 9.5" width and S-techs? Rubbing inevitably occurs from time to time I assume? The stance is very agressive. I'd definitely think that set up would look awesome on a 5th or even 6th gen as well. Well done.

Yep 18x9.5's and S. Techs. No rubbing at all I fixed that problem and the car rides great!! I love the agressive stance it gives now. your right it would look pretty sick on a 5th or 6th gen.. Thanks.

I love how concave these wheels are and pictures dont even do it justice.. People ask me the offset all the time!!

Glad your enjoying those things.. I miss them a little bit but then again I'm enjoying not scraping my y-pipe and bumper everywhere I go lol...

the wheels look great...IMO maybe add some ionized black lugs b/c I think the chrome lugs take away from the stealth look

I did have some but the company sent me the wrong ones and I didn't wanna wait for another set to come from Cali that way I could put my wheels on so I just went with the chrome ones for now. I may get some in the future not to sure yet.

Thanks. I plan on doing that or just getting another grill.

Thanks for the comment.

Not a huge fan of the color choice on the wheels, but the design is great and the offset is perfect. With the drop and the stance, they look good, btu I think that Silver would have looked better. Just my opinion, of course, but I do like them, overall. (Better than SmokinMaxSe's blacked-out G rims!)

Very nice! I want a set in gold, but I don't know it they would clear the struts on a 5/5.5 gen.

i believe they are of the same offset that ihavea2kmaxima have, so i would say yes they would clear... wasnt mr****s95se running some offset like that on his 4th gen also and i thought 5ths had more clearance i could be wrong

Ihavea2kmaxima is running a 25+ offset and 9" wheel to the OP 38+ and 9.5. I slide my fingers behind the OEM setup and strut, and there is about a 1-1.25" of clearance. 9.5" Should JUST fit with that offset, but I's scared.
