ROTA P45R2 18x9.5 +25 from WHEELDUDE

Finally getting pictures of my wheels up for WHEELDUDE. They are Rota P45R2 18x9.5 +25. They were originally gunmetal but I had the lip painted BBY and the center wrapped in 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber. Had to use 10mm spacers with 45mm longer studs.

Its my fault. The little inner lip started too because my car went into the paint booth last weekend and I guess I forgot to seal some edges. Easy fix though. Remember this vinyl is activated by extreme heat...lol

still a little busy / piecemealed together, but it's never looked better and has great potential.

I'd start with jdm lights, and lose the side spats and canards.

Normally not a fan of Rota's but your car is pretty ill, bet those stickers were insane to get around some of those contours.

Sick wid it xD
I have the same exact wheels, except I bought them int he gloss black/polished lip.

I also am running +20MM spacers in the front, and soon will have some + 15 in the rear. I have a voltex kit on my car... However, my rears werent cut. The voltex was just bolted over. Do yOu have any rub issues? Im running a 255/35/18.. Im afraid that if I lower it ill have bad rub, esp with +15MM spacers. So Ill probably have to trim the voltex and get the fenders rolled atleast...

Oh, I also had to cut up my voltex sideskirts because the wheels didnt clear ( turning radius). Imagine how bad that hurt, haha.

I'll post my pictures in a few days

I would like to see this. If you didn't cut your fenders, I have a feeling you will rub

Because there's too much going on (imo). Like, everything available was just stuck on the car without reason. What's the point of canards when your wing choice obviously shows you're not interested in down force? Paint job, and wing says "classy/clean" but the other parts say "race." It just doesn't flow well. Again, all IMO. I'm not an authority on this stuff.
