If you can keep your neg camber to a minimum in the rear and still run a 9.5", that's awesome. I wouldn't drop it any more than it is. Looks perfect and functional to me.

I love high-end wheels because of their craftsmanship but Rota Grids are all about looks and they look amazing. I've always liked them. They're made kinda for the same reason as "spinners" only these won't get old after a year or two of non-stop rap songs about 'em. lol

regardless of the height, that spec is not functional for a stock tC. And this rim is retarded played out. You sir, are the 18th person to rock these rims on SL. Oh and same spec and color, dont lie...you know you were inspired to do the same as others on this site.

you as in the OP

thanks for the comments. yes i know more low would look sick but again winter will be pain in the ___. i originally saw these wheels on a sti and guy told me brand and size bla bla. went to the web cite where i purchased them and saw couple other tcs that had them but didn't think they would be over played like everyone says. regardless its a sick wheel in my opinion.

Invest in some Coilovers. Slame it on during the summa and 4x4 it during winter. I mean if your going to get bashed for played out wheels might as wheel do it in stile.
