ROTA Torque Bronze NEW!

Hey guys, i promised the guys at wheeldude to show these pics online.

My setup:

Rota Torque: 18x9.5 +20 offset
OEM advan A13C rubber
Stock Height

I went with this just out of pure hope that it would be good looking.. and i must say it's awesome. The sharper lines of the Torques match the look of the X better than most other wheels out there.

Anyway, Enjoy.

I know many people have questions about wheel offset, tire size and fender rolling. With this offset and wheel width, at this height (or even at a moderately dropped height) there will be no need for fender rolling. I'd estimate that I could drop the car quite a bit more before running into problems.

Sorry, just busting your chops By the way, is this for X? Your profile has 2004 Evo VIII. Either case, I'm still looking forward to the pics.

Yeah, that looks very nice. Great choice on the rims. And you are running the factory Advans too?

You could drop it ALOT more, so you wont be mistaken for an SUV.
