    Look what I got!

    I feel I made a good decision, I love these wheels dearly and have wanted them in a 17x9 for the longest time:

    Rota Grids - Hyper Black - 17x9 +32 up front, +37 in rear. Tires are 245/40/17. Hellafunctional, but also flush.

    hahaha. Those look great although I tease the shit outta my buddy who put a set of Rota's on his skyline. Just curious, why the different off-set from front to rear, and what is your stock offset? Is it the same as the RSX? I think mine if +40....

    Thanks man, none of my friends busted my balls yet about them being Rotas. A few online buddies did though, and a huge bashing on 8thcivic. But then again, compare those kids Si's to mine - HUGE difference. Haters gonna hate
    I'm running spacers all around, needed a lower camber in the rear to be 'flush' and not rub under WOT. 5mm in the rear, 10mm in the front. Extended Ichiba studs all around too.

    Yea, definitely better traction. My old wheels were 17x8.5 so this is pretty much the same setup, same tires anyway. I need more power though, this little GT2871R sucks bawls.

    Nice! i bet your traction is little better, i only went from a 205 to a 215 sticky tire and noticed a difference. Are those the offroad grid editions? I was contemplating getting same but in bronze. Rather then spend 3500 on new wheels, ill take the grids and throw the extra money back into the motor. Haters gonna hate until you pass them
