Rota SVN Hyperblack 18x8.5 +47 (5mm Spacers)

[APEXistud]

I'm diggin the pics of other cars. It's making me want to ditch these for something more legit. I'm running 5mm spacers on all corners to flush things out a tad. I do not experience and scary rubbing, just the occasional fender liner rub in the front driver side. I'm currently rolling on Firestone Indy500 235/40/18 and have been great so far although they are a bit heavier than the other brands in the exact same size. The first pic was from when I had the Toyo on.

Those are great. I have them also. I got a little bored with the hyperblack and painted mine gunmetal grey. I like them a little muted.





Did you have to factory order those or did you find them in US?

Thanks. I got lucky and the purchased the car as is appears in the pics with 28k miles on it from a BMW stealership in the San Jose area. The previous owner put coils, camber arms and wheels on it before trading it in for a 335 coupe. Funny thing is I've run into him twice since I got the car back in 2010 and he gave me the skinny on what he put on it. He's since upgraded to a Plum color E92 M3 Coupe.

I'm digging the matte finish you did too. Very subtle, but still fits the look of the MS6 nicely.

@APEXistud; What lip and skirt extensions are those?

I got them from Bayson R in San Jose, CA and they said the were the JDM Mazda3 side skirts and the front lip is a modified S204 lip. The side skirts need to modified slightly for a proper fit. They sit a little too far forward IMO.

Beautiful wheels and car, bro.
Any modifications before strapping on the 235's?

Dipped or powdercoated? Like the matte look.

Thanks. Fortunately the previous owner rolled the fenders and did a good job with it. So the only thing I've added were 5mm spacers on all 4 corners to make it look a little more flush. RIP for the front lip though. I met it's match in the streets of Oakland. Lol!!
