WTT: 18X8.5 gun metal Rota Torques
When the time comes, instead of getting new tires on these rims I'm thinking of getting something different and possibly downsizing to 17"
5X100 18X8.5 gun metal rota torques with curb rash. Not much tread left.
Open to all 17" 5X100 trade options with at least 50% tread left on tires. I'm trying to improve ride comfort. Already did suspension. Now I want to lower the diameter of rim so i can fit more rubber. What ya got?

I see you're in Vallejo. Perfect, cause my step-daughter lives there. You looking to trade them soon or when the tires wear out? Threads showing yet? If you're car is lowered, what are you lowered on? I have Tein S Techs on my car, but rolled rear fenders. Do you happen to have pictures of your car? Give me your e-mail addy and I'll send you pix of the rims on my car and the rims themselves. Thanks...

sent my phone number to your email. Give me a call. Your rims are what i want with the tires i want but yours are clearly in better condition than mine.
I didnt have a camber kit, I just adjusted the stock camber bolts to offset the camber created by the drop i was running. I had no rubbing issues. I don't know the specifics of the offset. I think it is +48 based on the specs from the rota web site. My tires are ventus hrII 225 40 18. I m not into the hellaflush look so it was never on stretched tires. No spacers were ever used and the car wasnt slammed to the floor. I have tracked these rims once so i can verify they hold up at speeds above 120mph haha
