Also, keep in mind that you can alway run spacers in the rear to give it that staggered look.

Staggered is a must on our cars.

hey, thats my car in the last pic. those are WedsSports SA-70s. 18x9 and 18x10. the rota D2's are really ugly. i would advise against them. someone brought up using MB wheels too, those look alot better and they have some good offsets too. i think the 2 that i like are the battle and weapon models. check em out, the pricing is decent too.

Honestly, if you are on a budget of $200 dollar per wheel, you're probably better off just keeping it clean and remain stock

I put a set of MB Weapons on my brother's SC. 18x9.5 all around. Its just on staggered +20 (Front), +15 (Rear) offsets. The tire size is 245/40/18. The widest tire we have put on it are 255 with very minor rubbing. So minor its not even worth mentioning. These wheels look great and I spent less than $600 on the whole set. The reason I mention this is because the MB style is very similar to the Motegis you were looking at and the MB wheels are available in way better fitments. Good luck with your decision.

I like the above picture. I also like the third picture with that offset. Good luck with your search and let us know what you decide to go with. Remember the TT wheels, they also look nice and the facrory offset is nice too.

Those MBs are lookin mighty good. Id try my darnedest to stay away from Rotas, too many horror stories to be shelling out money then have stuff break. Try for some used quality rims, should run you roughly the same price as new rotas.
