well offset isn't impressive, but the lip is charateristic of a cup style rim. those spokes are curved like a mother for the fake lip. At least they are Rota's

HA HA HA this thread is getting crazy lol.
He put the wheels on last night. Not we got some pics of it yet. Ill have to ask some of the other guys if they snapped some or not.

I'm sure he will take a few pics of the wheels on the box when he gets back in town.

Gothbox
01-14-2008, 12:54 PM
well thanx for the REAL compliments, I LOVE my wheels, I got them cause I wanted them end of story.
yes I could have got some "JDM" wheels, with a crazy offset and fitment, but I wanted to be able to still slam my car on the ground with the airbags, and I can do that with these. Yes they are Rotas, and these are not even available to the North American market so I guess they are "rare" so that half of the "JDM" part right :eyebrow:? And on my other car I have Sportmax wheels, OH OH :lalala: I guess thats bad too? WHO CARES?

so once again thanx for all the REAL compliments and I will get pics up as soon, as I can.

I know, its very nice, BUT thats HIS CAR, i mean this is gothbox's car and its HIS own taste, I would personally pick goth's box over JDMJIM's but like i said its HIS car and HIS style, doesnt mean he has to go around and think EVERYONE has to be ""JDM"" and has to have a big wide wheel, and all this shiznit.. some people have different tastes, and like me i LOVE gothbox's box, and would love to have my toaster lookin like his soon, lol..

I never said his car was ugly. you guys said I said that. I said thats a typical look for a cup style rim. You choose to like that car rather than mine cuz it's the norm. Mine is not, therefore it's "different". I don't care. His car looks nice.

well here they are.
I can't decide if I want to keep the chrome accents(lugs & center caps) do I change them out to black lugs, and try and paint the center caps(flat black or gloss) I am kinda liking the chrome, and the lugs were free.

Keep the chrome lugs and center caps. The grilles and the lugs and caps accent the flat black. I think you should put some chrome handles and mirror covers to set it off some more! :bow:

They are made by Cusco and allow you to camber in the front wheels. Mount them to the top of the shocks. with camber bolts, you can prolly go -5 in the front!!!

I recommend black lugs to highlight the chrome lip and center cap.

Another option with the easystreet struts is what Randode did for someone.

This is the text from another site.
["So my good buddy Ray came over this morning to let me try to fix his positive front camber issues that he's been having with his Easy Street front air struts. We had tried a set of camber bolts before with no success and after a little bit of persuasion, I convinced him to let me slot the bolt holes out for adjustment. A couple of minutes with the trusty die grinder is all it took. Tons of adjustment now. I set it up at zero camber when aired all the way down, and have the ability to even get some negative if he wants to.

So you want to do this? Here's how:
Grind the lower bolt hole open about 1/8" towards the outside of the car.
I used a 12" level to set it where we wanted since I don't have an alignment rack in my toolbox.

The fix was simple and painless. And since the grinder was out, I clearanced the pinch weld on the frame to clear the sway bar. This got him another 1/4" of drop."]

Something to think about.
