I'm baaack! Man, the wind out there was a bish! The Fit was really twitchy because of the gusts of wind, but it was still manageable. I think I'll be going back to 195s and looking into lowering because of a combination of the wind and the 205/55s royally screwed my fuel mileage.

205s are highly overrated..... Check out the Swift Mach Springs. Just a little drop great ride, handling and stability and they have plenty of travel and don't kill your stock struts and shocks..... Better than Ezra loves them and I love mine. Very easy to install.... read up on them and see what they do on YouTube.

Anyone know someone who might be interested in some Rota Circuit 10's in a 5X114.3 pattern? Bought some tires for cheap cheap cheap and the wheels came with them. They look practically new with a very minor curb rash on one of the wheels. Other than that, they seriously look like they were just bought. I'd be willing to let them go for cheap cheap cheap too if y'all know someone who's into Rotas!

Hey, it's a 16X7 with a 40+ offset *I think*. I don't have great experience with offset, so it might be in the 30's. I can always take pics. And like I said, I could probably give your friend a pretty good deal on it since I got them for cheap, don't mind passing on the love.

NP about the other thing, it's just sitting!

The offset should be stamped on the rim. Look on the inside of the rim on the spokes or the barrel of the rim.

Ok thanks Hootie, I'll take a look. They're black, that's probably why I didn't see it stamped when I did a quick look over.

Does anyone know of a person that has a SSM GD Sport with flat black rims (I believe they were Rota Slips)? I seen them about 5 miles west of Beaumont on Saturday at around 5:30 PM heading east on I-10.

It may very well be farther than you think..... People in 5 different counties think and say that they live in Dallas.

Here are a couple of pics of the Rota's, Btrthnezra, including the wheel with the curbing. One center cap is missing. Other than that they look pristine. Offset I believe is stamped as +45 or +43, can't tell for sure but looks like +45. And to my best knowledge, they're circuit 10's.
