New wheels! Rota Grids 18x9.5

**UPDATE** Car is finally lowered!!! tell me what you think?? check out page 3


Hey guys, i know a lot of people are runnin these wheels but i absolutly had to get them! i love the concave look and love how they look on evos

Yes i do understand that my car looks like a 4x4, and yes i will be getting a set of coils as soon as i can. im so excited t get these to fit right, untill them here are some pics!




GOT CLEARANCE?? about 1 mm lol also for those thinking of getting these, yes they are good with no spacers! however when i pick up the evo dave fender mod i will be putting on a 3mm just to be safe







and i a pic of my license plate and new led license plate lights


next up on the list of mods is:
-coils
-evo dave fendermod
-evo 8 cf do luck style lip
-black out heads and tails
-maybe window tinting

that looks terrible. you're thinking about putting spacers on them too??? that's going to be even worse. I don't get why EVO owners insist on buying wheels that just don't fit. 18x9.5 is not a hard size to find the correct fitment in. looks like total crap.

Spacers,fender mods, coil-overs, then re-post.
Im guessing you arent into performance. More aesthetics.

yeah they actually dont stretch really at all, i got some federal 595's they are a real cheap tire and i love the tread pattern. cnt beat 94$ a tire... http://www.onlinetires.com/products/...ss595+90w.html not the best performance one but i really don't need the expensive ones
