The Ultimate Aggressive Wheel Thread... Evo X Style
#4576
A good fender roll shouldn't leave your paint cracked and if it does it would be smart to go to a body shop and at least have them spray a clear coat for rust protection. Evo x's (at least mine does) have a silicone strip on the lip, that usually protects the paint from cracking, along with proper heat when rolling.

When you "roll" the fenders your are bending this flat portion up so that there is slightly more room for the tire to fit without scraping the fender.
Either way, this edge runs along the wheel arch. So there is no place in it (rolled or not) for water to pool. And even if water did pool, a proper done roll doesn't damage the paint which is ultimately what protects it from rusting, as was mentioned in the post before. You don't need sitting water on metal to rust, so the paint/clear coat is what prevents rusting.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on these ( found a set for a steal). Little worried about fitment abd clearance. Add your suggestions!

Also I have seen those wheels come apart, I would never run cheap wheels on any car due to safety purposes.

I assume a similar issue might arise with the SL5.
