Rota DPTs or Grids?

First, thank you to South Coast Mitsubishi for hooking me up with my new 2010 GSR. Chris and Sam are #1 on my list for picking me up in San Diego to drive me back to Costa Mesa. Great customer service!!! I used to have an Evo 8 and sold her last year. I missed her so much I had to get the new one.

I'm planning on getting new rims next. Before I get flamed for getting Rotas, I'm using the money I save from getting Rotas instead of Volks on performance parts. Then eventually I'm hoping to get Volks. I'm looking at getting either in 18 x 9.5 +20. I accidentally put +22 on the poll. If they made them in 19s I would get those instead. I was checking the opinions of my fellow Evo owners out there.

I know. I just like them both and I'm just undecided.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

I would. But $950 vs $4,000 for now is a no brainer. That's not including tires. That's money I can spend on engine mods.

I'm actually leaning more towards the DPTs. Grids are such a classic look though.

im in a similar predicament...i want either of those..

Im leaning towards the grids because it seems like our cars are just made perfectly to have that concave look!

when i get money will be running a more aggressive setup with the 18x10 +15 offset that they offer. I would go with the 9.5 but the 10 just looks better IMO..

good luck buddy!
