Got my wheels on Friday and spent the day rolling the fenders, mounting the tires, and slappin them on. They are Rota D2, 17x8.5 +20 offset. I am running 225/45/17 all over. Car is dropped with Parts shop max coilovers and rucas.

Yeah the only thing I don't like about them is the little fake two piece screws, I might make them black, and also the center caps.

I like em. I say keep the screws even if they're fake, gives some contrast.

The black looks good with the gold. I almost bought a gold S14 years back myself, but the dealer wanted too much for it.

I believe 18x9 is the widest, but in 17's the widest is 8.5 so I got it.

I was going to get Elites but they were discontinued

Yes 4 lug, Found them on Ebay from a store, they were only 650 shipped.

I know wheeldude.com has them but they are more expensive and so is everywhere else I looked, I just got lucky they had a good offset and size.

not bad looking and definately an upgrade from the hubcaps. i just hate how the d2's the spoke comes out too much like a FWD offset wheel. i was leaning towards them too until i saw actual pics and the spokes came out too much and said screw it, but those don't seem to come out that much.

should've went with 235's and 40 profile, is the 45 too tall?

Yeah, the spokes arent too bad though, I think when you get the wider wheel and lower offset they kind of shorten up but I may be wrong.

I probably should have went with 235/40, im am BARELY clearing the inside of the fender well in the front so I can't go any lower which I would really like.
