Black Evos w/ Rota DPT 17" Pics

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you who have Rota DPTs with black EVOs could post up on here.

I've seen plenty of pictures of them on WW evos, but none on TB.

Anyways, please don't give me any lame search posts, since I've obviously already done that..

Thanks again and I'm lookin forward to some pics.

Wheels were $850 shipped as advertised from wheeldude. Tires were $660 from tirerack. I also got lugnuts so everything totalled around$1600. Here are some teasers since I cant get the car out of the garage for another day. Tires are dunlop star specs 255/40/17. Im on tanabe springs and the car hasnt quite settled in yet from being on jackstands for 2 weeks.So far I love the look.Light weight,bolt on fitment and near aggressive stance. Perfect for everyday or in my case weekends.

18's are more money for the wheels and significantly more for tires.If youre going 18" why not go with some Grids instead? I think the 17's do fine with the tires i chose.

Figure the 18s are 9.5" wide so you will probably go 255/35/18 and lose profile height anyway. I just didnt want to deal with spacers and/or fender rolling. Believe me when I tell you this wasnt my first choice in a set of wheels. They did however meet the budget and criteria for me. I will probably regret not getting my SBC RPF1's in 17x9.5.

Long story short these are great in the meantime,didnt kill my pocket,and were paid for in full after selling my bbs wheels. It was a win/win situation.

All depends on the offset and tire size you go with. The +35's should fit without fenderwork. Its the more aggressive +22 that would need some tweaking.

Im not sure what tire profile youll need to clear stock fenders. Im sure Dan can help you when and if you buy them. Im just curious why people want extra weight and rotating mass.Like I said if you did the 18x9.5+22 or some grids for that flush look itd be worth it. As for the extra inch in the +35 it just didnt make sense to me.

LOL look at my setup ill have plenty of power the extra weight will not hurt me. i dislike grids sorry only wheels i like on a evo so far besides some motegis +22 requires rolling i have NOBODY AROUND ME THAT CAN DO THIS and i hear to many horror stories of what happens when you screw up
