when u were on grids they were 18x9.5" correct? if i grab a set of these u think i could pull off 235/35's? on tein h-tech in the front and s-tech in the rear? i only have h-tech in the front because the added weight of turbo and everything makes it look like s-techs already..

I do understand what you're trying to accomplish and for that I applaud.. but I personally think your ride was S I C K with the Rotas.. I know the Rotas are cheap but just the style of the spokes and the aggressiveness looked really good. I can't get over the super stretched tires and crazy camber on this new setup. Maybe you can find some LE37's with low offset in our bolt-pattern (or get it custom done) so you can still have that syle and still have a baller-status wheel.

He has BBS RS's now. Way better than TE/LE-37's.

Again - it's a matter of taste. I don't like his new setup.. yes with the BBS. It looks bad in my opinion. I thought with the Rotas it looked better.. that's why I suggested the LE37's.

I wanted to step up my game and try to differentiate myself from many of the other scionlifers on this forum. So I wanted something that no one would be able to copy.
I decided to go with BBS RS's because They are my dream wheels and you can customize them yourself. It was a very long process, but I am proud of what i have done and I have gotten a lot of praise for them.
It looks bad right now because i took those shots right after i finally got the wheels on. I would call my setup with the grids, a very aggressive import look. The direction I'm headed now is a more clean, luxury look. But right now i'm struggling with many things and can't find the time to finish. But when i do, it should look great.
