to my knowledge you have to order at least 5 to get a custom order (that goes for most companies that aren't 100% custom).

I can't comment on Rota quality, performance, weight or fitment. (not allowed to).

Apparently every thing I say about Rotas is false and negative so I was asked not to talk about them.

Which is fine by me.

If you want to talk fitment I'll be glad to help, just don't say Rota and only talk about the sizes.

LOL un censor this man! : D k I want to run a little bit of a lip on this car thats why I want a lower offset, if I were to get a CCW C14 wheel 18x9.5 what would be a good offset on my 08 STI?

T3h_Clap · 01-15-2008, 05:12 AM

you do realize the C14 has ZERO lip correct?

read here for 9.5 info, or click the link in the bottom part of my sig.

as for the right offset on the C14s it depends. Are you hoping to gain all of the offset via the pad height or did you want to achieve your effective offset using spacers? the second option would require extended studs and you'd be able to have different effective offsets front and rear still allowing you to rotate the wheels/tires.

now, what do you plan on doing for suspension? and what size tire are you hoping to run?

Well regardless those wheels are dope, and actually the Z06's and Porches all ha lip on their rears look at the pics on their web site!

think about that for a second and tell me why the rear wheels on Z06s and Porsches have a lip.

BECAUSE THEY ARE 11" wide!

the 9.5s and the 10s do not have a lip.

Stoli1986 · 01-16-2008, 03:36 PM

U don't think the 10 inch wides ones will have a lip?

nothing significant, I helped another guy about a year ago get a set of 18x10s and they didn't have any significant lip.

Stoli1986 · 01-17-2008, 02:12 PM

Whats your honest opion on those wheels?

T3h_Clap · 01-18-2008, 04:19 AM

I like them alot, I see them more as race wheels than street wheels. They are more "raw" and usually use spacers to get the exact effective offset you're looking for front and rear.

if i were buying 18" race wheels tomorrow, they'd be the C14 corsairs from CCW.
