Rota Grid's
18x8.4 - 44+ offset (flush at rear, 20mm out front guard)
$1000
225/40 18


looks good mate, love white wheels
fitment looks good as well, looking at getting some 18 x 8.5 +44 as well in the near future

any reason you went 225/40 instead of 235/40 profile tires?
easier to fit with coilovers?

the slight stretch is needed to stop the tires rubbing on the body.

and if you plan going low, coilovers make life so much easier

Does anyone know how big of a spacer you need to fit GTB wheels over Brembos?

I haven't seen Rota's go for that price with tyres. If they did, they'd be rubbish 8 year old chinese things

Praise Jeebus. I finally got my wheels after a 13 week wait. Forgive the pics as I haven't cleaned the car for 3 weeks and I used a craptacular cell phone camera.

Rays Gram Lights 57XV (with Centre and Valve Caps)
Size: 17 x 7
Offset: 50
Clears Brembos: ???
Weight: 7.9kg (approx)

I'm not 100% sold on the chrome in the centre caps, but I think it looks better when the wheel is in motion.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Thanks Kieran. JDM honeycomb's the dream...but one that I simply cannot afford at the moment. I have thought about doing DIY mesh though. :)
Mihai, I totally agree that lowering it would look a hell of a lot better, but as I drive the car 150km a day (frequently on quite bad roads), I am too scared to lower it. :roll:
