So i finally got my Rota's. Drove right to TTP and got them mounted and Balanced with my old 245-KDWs..

I was worried about the finish coming off during the tire mounting process, but it held up well. only one little nick on one wheel. I also went with the flat caps all around.

I really didn't know if i was going to like the look of these after AIIIC's thread.. but i think they look about 10 times better in person. Everyone at the shop was really surprised they were Rotas and how light they were.

I have already gotten a few compliments when i went to the liquor store after taking these photos.

Im happy with them for now, unitll some cheap 19's come out.:stirpot:

What do you guys think??

:)shhh:i will be throwing my smoked fogs on as soon as my LEDs get here)

For the money its hard to complain but I prefer the stockers, especially in Chrome.

I agree with these three statements.... however lowered with lower profile tires on black might change my opinion ;) I just like the stock rims too much so unless its 2 or 3 piece wheels Im probably gonna say Nay

thanks for the .02 and compliments. As mikenice would say your all fukin h8ters!!! Lol
I was tired of looking like every other V and they are lighter then stock so. I dig um.
Eu nao falo portugues munto mas eu try. Lol. good to have some chops on the board

Im going to get a set of GCs and run 265/40 all around. I like the way your thinkin

They look even better at night. Gloss black from one angle smoke gun metal from another. Like i said for $850, cant beat um


So. I have a really slow leak in the front right tire. Im at TTP getting the tire checked out to see if its seated properly and if i have already snagged a nail. This morning the psi was down to 18. So i filled till 27 drove around and it went to 31 over 10miles of highway driving.

Anyone have an idea on what to check. Do TPMS sensors leak commonly?

the tech said that the TPMS sensor was loose so he resecured it and filled it back up...

right now i'm running um at 38-40 psi all around. what are you guys running?.. i will see in the morning if the leak has stopped. hopefully the higher pressure will force every thing to seat correctly..
