Default The wait was worth it!

*PICTURE UPDATE ON PAGE 3

Whats up CL. As a few of you may know back in April I had my 20's stolen. At first it seemed like the end of the world but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. My insurance gave me a decent amount of money (that at least covered half of one of my set of wheels). This was a good oppurtunity for me to refresh the look of my car. I searched about every wheels site there is for a set that I truly wanted and fell in love with the Rohana RC10.Only problem was that it was not made yet and the completion date was unclear. Kris Becker a great vendor here on CL had told me it could be up to 8 weeks.Regardless there was no other rims that I was truly satisfied with so I went ahead and put my money down, and in the mean time I had bought a set of LFA replicas to get me by, which I was planning to eventually buy anyways for a winter set since I sold my g-spyders that came with the car. Well the wait was finally over and it was well worth it. According to Kris I am the first to have these bad boys in the US on a 2IS. At least the first and only to get it from him. Below are some pics of the new wheels, and the previous sets I had along with my LFA's. A few guys that knew I had another set of wheels coming messaged me already asking if I am going to sell the LFA's. At this time the answer is no. Like I said I bought them to be my winter set and winter unfortunately will be here pretty soon.Thanks for taking the time to read my story. It was a pleasure doing business with Kris Becker, he takes great careof his customers and really hooks them up. Hit him up for your next set of wheels. I will leave his website and info below as well.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics. I will be getting some professional pics taken by my friend who's a photographer soon.

Damn, they look great on your car! I think the lip makes them look about the same size as a 19 inch wheel without a lip, which I like. 20's can sometimes look to big, but they flow perfectly with your car. Great choice bro

Thanks Brian yeah I know what you mean, but after getting 20s it was hard for me to get anything smaller! I wish my LFA reps came in 20s. I wanted to do a 20x11 in the rear but its impossible without any fender mods

Thanks Alias, It was hard to decide between having a deep dish or go concave but when I saw these wheels the decision was clear

Thanks Mr Individual!


I took a few closer shots so you guys can get a better look of the wheels. I apologize for the crappy camera phone quality pics. I will have professional shots taken soon!!!

As I say this is just about right for flushness, Not too much, not too little
