Rota Grid Drift Pic Request
Show us some pics of your rota grid drift wheels on white impreza's.
I have an aspen white 04 JDM STi and debating to go for either white, bronze or gold.
Hopefully your pics will help me decide :-)

I had xxrs fitted camber bolts and rolled arches and they still rubbed,advice was lift suspension up.......as the car was set up for fast road/track I didn't so got rid.
Also the paint was laughably poor.
Lesson learnt buy decent make of wheels that fit so bought frays speed lines,110% better.

Thanks powerwrx for the only post relating to my original question. 
I was tempted to comment back to fat-Thomas' comment but I don't have the time for trolls.....I read a few of his other posts and just wasn't worth a reply.

It also depends what 'grids' you have, as it could be the grid drift, the regular grid or another variety that the name escapes me of right now and they are all slightly different.
Buy cheap buy twice the xxrs, rotas etc are not worth the money, the paint is terrible, the fit is not great and you will just look like another fan boy with wide wheels. There are decent wheels out there for smiliar money if you look carefully.
Lucko thanks for that, shame they aren't 17s otherwise I would have had them off you!

I will say it again, Rota are not a premium brand wheel, they are cheap nasty rubbish. They are cheap knock offs of decent wheels. The "grid" are knock offs of the rays engineering te37s no one has done "rip off rotas", they have all copied the te37s and every company and their dog do them, inovite, bola, etc etc etc.

Go for grids mate! Completly change the look of the car.
You dont need the slammed look to pull them off either.
I have them on my hatch 18x9.5 et30 and et38 no arch mods, lowered circa 30mm on springs no camber bolts no rubbing running 245 falkens.
