Thanks man, Just being realistic, I'm a middle class average guy. I don't live outside of my means and live pay check to pay check then when a rainy day comes up I'm shhh!t out of luck bc I decided to make a stupid decision and spend 5000 on wheels and tires and not have money to pay the mortgage or make a car payment then all I'm left with is a nice set of wheels. These are indeed the most expensive wheels I have ever bought for any of my cars. I did spend more than I wanted to and I had to put in extra hours to make that cash but it was worth it.

I don't think the LFA rims look different enough from the regular 2006-2008 IS split spoke rims. G-spiders for the win!

Very nice setup bro! I especially like the fitment. You have no fender mods done? (rolling, tab relocation, etc). Do you rub at all? And what are you lowered on? Sorry for all the questions lol

Wheels/ car looks good

Gotta love the concave design on the rear wheels. The drop is good too. It looks like your on coilovers.

Keep it up

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.
