Nice, REAL nice. Looks awesome and it’s quick as heck! Rolls wide and has a mean streak of a powerband provided by Chi-Town’s finest Evo tuning.

The Dude loved those customer submitted cars with Rotas so much that they’re worth hanging on his wall at the office. He printed out some of the top Rota featured cars… then he took a photo of it. It’s like that bad Xzibit internet meme, “Sup dawg, I heard you like photos, so we took a photo of a photo so you can have a photograph of your photos.”

Oh man, a car rocking a set of 18×10 Rota SVN wheels just made it to the cover of Modified Magazine! This is a BRAND NEW FITMENT for super aggressive Subarus in a dual bolt pattern. This GC8 is caged, built, and tuned to tear up the track. According to the article, it’s also got some spacers to push the wheels out to +5 offset in the front and +1 offset in the rear to fill out those massive custom installed Jun S13 Silvia fenders. This is easily one of the craziest customer cars to ever appear on our site. Congrats to Dave on getting the cover of Modified! Suby love, FTW!
Hand picked by The Dude and the staff, these are our favorite customer photos in 2009.

A customer Ken Meisch aka Z3speed4me, posted some sweet pictures of his 99′ M coupe on bimmerforums.com. He has the LC Lemans in a 19×8.5 30 offset in the front and a aggressive 19×10 22 offset with a 10mm spacer in the rear. The color of the wheels are Hyper Silver w/Polished Lip. Here are a couple of the pics. Read More for the others.
This long time customer’s ride is outfitted with Torque 17×9 5×100 +30 Hyper Black with Federal RSR 235/40/17’s (which run wide for their size). A set of blue Blox lugs were used with this setup.
Every now and then, we’ll have a unique setup. Something that you don’t see everyday, forums included. This is one of those setups. Here are pictures of Jay’s (18LLC on e90post) van, second to his 325Xi he frequents on E90Post.
It is a third gen Honda Odyssey on 18×8.5 Rota SVNs, sporting the beautiful Full Royal Sports Bronze color. The offset is at +30mm, bringing the wheel properly to the fender. The owner jokingly said on the forum that he would lower the car, and from the look of the current setup, I sure hope he does.
Tires used are 255-45-18 Toyo Open Country, which is an ideal setup for this particular car….or, rather, van. We definitely look forward to see if Jay carries on his plan of lowering the van as it is something different.
So let us take this time to extend an invitation; for those of you out there who have something different, send us pictures. Post in our gallery, email us, and let us know about your unique setup. It’s always refreshing to see the new setups out there!
Safe,
Gabe @ Wheeldude
