Don't mind the primer. I am painting it Lexus Graphite Grey Pearl within 3-4 weeks

New Shoes. Rota D2 18 X 9 50mm offset rear, 18 x 8 48mm offset front.

I bought them for $700 (Wheels/Tires)

 

Why didnt you go with work meister s1? and also not wider in the rear?

 

lol, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the Rotas were probably less expensive that the wheel that they're knock-offs of.
For 700 bucks, that's a deal, knock off or not! Those KDW-2s cost near that by themselves.

 

I think they're going to look awesome!

 

Work Meister = $. Maybe in the future. These will do for now, because the tires on my FD wheels are almost gone. I figured why spend $500 for new tires when I can add $200 on top of that and get these

Also, I don't need wider in the rear. The engine is bone stock. It's more of a show car

 

Very nice man. I seen these wheels on ebay for soo long but i didnt want the +50 offset in the rear, i wanted at least +40 but they didnt have them.

O well, it looks good.

 

Yeah, the 50mm rear offset is a bit high so there is about an 1 inch gap between the tire and the fender. I'm gonna pick up a set of 15mm spacers and do a little fender roll and that should shift it over enough to give it a nicer, wider stance.

 

haha Check mine out

 

^^ --- Looks good!

Here are some more pictures today after I got the coilovers all installed. I dropped the front

 

Looks nice. You really can't complain at that price. On the street you might as well be running some less expensive wheels so that you will not be as mad if they get bent, scraped, etc.

 

Looks good, i always liked the look of a primed car

 

damn i bet you cant pinch an inch. thats a low gap between the fender and the tire. looks real nice. dont hit any speed bumps or low gaps in the road or you u might hear that scrub sound.

 

wherd you get that deal i really like these

 

I would've chosen the 5zigen fn01r for the FD at that price, the D2's seem to match econoboxes better .

 

i feel you on that on Toyo Kogyo. maybe you can black out the center caps. but just dont tell people that those are work meisters cuz thats a scumbag move.lol
looks like your doing a great job of prepping the car tho.

 

Remember, $700 is for the wheels AND tires. Look at what tires they came with! The tires alone are $

 

I got hella lucky. They were on Ebay and nobody placed a bid on them so I waited till the last minute and put the bid in. No price reserve

 

Too bad they can't pass as work meisters. The 5 spokes on the work meisters sit inside the inner lip. The D2s are actually replicas of the SSR Professors, but even so, it is very easy to spot the real deal Professors

 

really and they came with tires too wow thats a great deal i might get a set and have the rears widened to about a 10in rear still comes out to a good deal

 

Can you really widen wheels? Would that involve cutting the wheel in half and welding a spacer in between the two halves?

 

^ Yup! Someone on this forum did that to S8 5 spoke FD wheels.

 

yeah thats sortof what they do the place i was gonna go to say they can widen up to to inches on a wheel seem some done before looks great

 

I bought some 20mm spacers off of Ebay for $79 shipped:









Before:





After:





The Wheels in the rear have +50mm offset. With the 20mm spacers, the wheels are equivalent to +30mm offset. I think a 25mm spacer would work if I rolled the rear fenders a bit.
