I think your car looks really good with the Rotas. For some reason the drop looks kind of odd though. Question.....how do you like the Dunlops?

Nice, I have the same rims on my TB IX SE, I'm on MR Bilsten/Swift and running 255/40 also (Toyo RA1). I had slight rubbing issues, did not think I was going to have to roll at first but ended up needing to. I rolled my own with out a roller and no damage or chipping and now no rubbing, cost $0.

I'm on the same set up, but seem to sit lower.

Oh, I was referring to someone mentioned a vendor wanting to dump his stock of these wheels ASAP because he was aware of how prone they are to damage. Maybe I'm confusing them with something else.
