Except your car always looks amazing with whatever wheels you put on them. Time to ditch the dish for now and do the concave!

LOOKS good. If you're gonna stretch, u should DROPPP as much as possible. It'll look so much better, really.
If you have factory bodywork, why not just dunk that thing? By stretching tires you now have no excuse of saying you want it to handle the best it can heh so don't use that excuse, and slam it! The lower an SC goes, the better it looks. Here was mine (Before StopTechs were added):

i was thinkin about stepped lips but i cant get myself away from concave. this go around i need my concave to be concave up front and the rear with a stagger if i go that way. im waitn to see what vossen did with the front of there new concave wheel. at first it wasnt concave, its being revised. sorry for the off topic, not to take nothing from the OP because your car looks great. and go as low as you can go with still barely being able to get in driveway. you wont regret it

Stepped are the way to go if you want lips on your wheels IMO. They give the car more character than a normal lip.

Not gonna lie, your car's black TE's are the reason why I wanted gloss black wheels(and knockoffs cause I'm poor). The car will lowered more, but just not right now because it's just being stored and I don't have room on the other side. Also, it's ZERO degrees outside and my heat in the garage doesn't work for some reason, haha. It'll go lower, no doubt about that.

Nah, I'd say the spokes are fatter than the VARRSTOEN and I'd trust Rota's quality because I've actually heard of the company. Those VARRSTOEN look great imo, but I also tried to stay away from 19s as much as possible.

Thanks WheelDude. If you guys are interested in these wheels, they're the Yamaha Black Rota Grids and only Wheeldude sells them in 18x9.5 +20. They had a mega simple ordering process too and I got 'em within a week!

Spoutin nonsense on your 7th post? Tsk, tsk. I would have used my 7th post for something like "congrats, the car looks good" or something along those lines. But that is just me though
