| Thanks bro! Tint is a definite but I think I'm going to go light on the tint since Cali is kinda anal about that stuff. I did think about new wheels but I really love what I have. Not everyone likes them but I was in love the first time I saw these. Plus I don't know any other wheels that interest me. Everything starts to look the same after a while. I still need 10mm spacers for the front though. Not really into aggressive fitment, just as long as the wheel sits flushed with the fender line is enough for me. | |

| i got ya. well i like the wheels. i think they look great. i guess it just because i like agressive looking fitments because of how eye catching they are. but thats a good thing for your car. it says "hey, my wheels and fitment dont make my car" lol if that makes any sense | |

| Omg I'm super late but thanks for the compliments guys. LOL but I have a little bad news. Took my car in for a balance and three of my wheels are bent. I'm pretty sure it was from the time my brother took a small but very tall speedbump at full speed. I don't even think it was meant to be a speed bump. It was pretty much a tall ledge leading onto a ramp into a shopping center. When he hit it the sound and shock was insane. It's not his fault though, the bump was difficult to see and there was no warning sign. The city smoothed it out weeks later, of course. I took my car in to get it balanced and the guys told me that one of the wheel is majorly bent. The other two are mildly bent. He let me in the garage and let me witness it for myself. This sucks big ones. Maybe it would've been a different story if they weren't Rotas. I don't know... I need new wheels. But I don't have money for legit expensive brand wheels. And I don't really want to go with Rota again just cause of this experience, though it might not even have been brand issue. AHhhhhhh I don't know what to do guys. | |

| dang bro, well, im not sure if its ROTA quality that did it because my brother n law has work meisters with th erear one bent due to a similar case...however i would be more confident in forged wheels, i mean...at the end of the day they are stronger but the stigma is overrated. I would just look for some cheap deals for now. then save up for a good set. get some daimonds or something...a good cheap way to test some offset options. | |

| Thanks brother. lol I was actually thinking of saving up for some Meisters but I guess any wheel will bend when it hits a big bump at relatively high speeds. I saw some gramlights I really like but I wish they were 15 inches. I might end up with these if the guy replies. http://stockton.craigslist.org/pts/3788943917.html I reallyyyy hate picking wheels. It's crazy how much they can either make or break your car. And as for the bulb, i use the amber colored JamStrait LEDs at autozone. It's over 4 years old. Love that brand. | |

| @Mirror- Thanks man. I really can't want to see them in person. Hopefully, being on craigslist, the seller is actually a normal human being. @Akuma- That is very true. lol I'll be living off pennys and cutting coupons like no other after this purchase. The main reason why I want 15s is because I car run taller sidewalls. Once, or if, I get these, I don't think I'll be able to let my brother drive the car anymore. I was shopping around and all wheels I really like were discontinued and sold a decade ago. And the ones that are on sale are either the wrong size or way too expensive for their condition. I was looking at these earlier but they're all discontinued: High offset is great offset! | |

| Sooooo tempting man. But I checked the prices for XXRs (531s) and they're around $450. Add in the cost of new tires it'll be... lets say $350 balanced. So already it's about $800 give or take a few. But on the other hand I can get these real legit VOLK gram lights for $900 with tires still in good condition. And their resale value doesn't change since they're discontinued and rare. I'm really gonna miss what I currently have though... they were my first love! | |

| I assume you brought it in because you could feel that the wheels were bent? Yeah that sucks! I liked those wheels. At least they weren't expensive... Rota is cheap lol. But I'm not sure any wheels could withstand such an impact... just be glad they didn't break or shatter like some I've seen!

I'm really gonna miss what I currently have though... they were my first love! true haha when ya put it that way its a steal. yea i feel ya, but i know these will look geat if not better. Its time for a change!! wheels can tend to wear out in appeal after while. i think youll love these. i wish i found a great deal on mines. tw of my wheels cost the same....kinda makes me feel bad for spending so much Thanks man, I've been window shopping around for wheels for a while but man... i didn't think I'd need some so soon at such a bad time. As for great deals, I'm just getting super lucky with my parts coming in the perfect colors at awesome prices... maybe I have a JDM guardian angel! hahaha! And I bet you could easily sell your wheels on craigslist for at least $450 with tires easily. - gold94corolla wrote:

If you need financial assistance, please let me know! (PM or email) I didn't feel they were bent but the steering wheel started to get a little wobbly above 70mph. So I took it in for a balance and then drove on the freeway. After the initial balance, that was when the steering wheel started to shake real violently on the freeway. Thinking that a weight must've fallen off, I took it in again to have them rebalance. Then they showed that the machine was reading good but when you look at the wheel spinning on the machine, you could see how horribly bent it was. Weird. And thanks for the offer man. I hate borrowing money from friends... it's normally the other way around. lol but no lie, I am seriously living off pennys and coupons after this. Wish I could quit college for a year to build up some cash. But at least summer is coming up so I'll come up with something. Living that broke life babyyy .... ..... - monkeypower102 wrote:
