Really? Didn't know that!

Those ones above look like the Volk TE37's which I would love... but they are SO expensive.

For being a company that rips off wheels, Rota still makes a quality rim. I believe Reza runs a Rota wheel for his drag tires.

If I was a brand whore I would tell you to get the Volks, but I'm not, so honestly the P45R are a good choice.

If you were driving around in a fully built Supra that you've spend 60 - 80 grand on, then yes, don't cheap out on your wheels. If you are going to be tracking or dragging your Evo in a very serious manner, then yes get the Volks. If you want to compensate for having a small penis, then of course, get the Volks. But if you just want a nice looking rim, get the Rota's and enjoy. They are like $800 for the set

Not sure if you've used those tires before or not. If not, you're in for a treat smile

No, I've never had them before but researched what was the stickiest street tire that would not send me hydroplaning into a median.

They will see some autox & track use in addition to my daily commute.

Ohhh those rims are badass! How much?

I had my eye set on the Enkei RPF1's, if I ever have the money lol.

But whatever I get, would have to work with the stock tire size as I just replaced them last year.

Nice rims Scott! Any rubbing issues with that tire size?

The rear fenders need to be rolled for anything above 265 width, according to my research.

I'm on stock height with stock tires, so no rubbing issues here. I don't think I will ever get wider tires as the 245/40/18's seem plenty enough for my taste, but I see that a lot of guys do go 265-275.

I have gotten a lot of compliments so far with my RPF1's, even had one guy follow me into a gas station so he could check my car out.

~$900 for the set... not bad at all. I was expecting a lot more.

Yeah I've been watching videos on how to roll the fenders - seems pretty straight forward but I don't know if I'd want to experiment on my car lol.

The Torque's defiantly look more aggressive though, which is the look I want to aim for.

MEAN!

I do like the looks of them, especially the bronze on black.

They're actually a knock-off of the WORK Emotion CR-KAI, but the ROTA's are half the price (probably half the quality too. wink ).

Yeah, some of the Evo guys on the Facebook group aren't a fan of Rota's.. but I really don't see an issue on a daily driver.

I can't justify spending 2000+ on Volk Rays, or anything similar.

Petro, I had a set of RPF1's (exactly the same size as Reza's), I wish I would have known because I would have offered them up here.

I bought them for my car because I wanted to go with a more aggressive look, but ended up changing my mind all together.

Yeah I saw them in the for sale section smile

They wouldn't fit my car though. 17s are too small, and I'd want to go with 18x9.5
