Right now I still have my Enkei NT03+M 17x9.5 wheels on, but in the next few days I'm going to swap to my Evo 8 Enkei with Blizzak WS60, 215/50/17.

You guys don't really drive your Evo in the winter do you? haha
Sweet! I just got a set a few months ago in 18x12.5 and 18x11.5 for my project car for a STEAL!

That question makes me think you'd buy an F350, and refuse to tow anything with it.

Haha rotas are for the budget minded. Not that anything is wrong with owning them, but if you own an evo, you probably could afford genuine wheels.

Corrected.

Its just that there are more interesting rims out there. Grids had their time on Evo's just like slipstreams on honda's.

Also, on the evo platform, light weight rims just provide too much benefit to be overlooked. Whereas on a 300C or (insert name of cruiser, pimp mobile and/or stunner vehicle here) heavy rims dont hurt the performance that wasnt there to begin with.

It's time for you to get your knees dirty, If you get rota's then it turns out you are no choosier than a heroin addict occupying a bathroom stall at the Troubadour.

I was trolling a bit, I know there are big time Rota haters around.

I don't care what people spend their money on, its their money.

Regardless, I know there are people running them, I've seen them at meets.

Back to our regularly schedule program...


My current rim tastes are running expensive so far based on the research I've done.
