I was reading in SCC or Modified mag about how changing just the offset of the wheel can change the way FWD cars react to bump/torque-steer, even in braking. Something about the "Dave Point" or the point inside the tire's contact patch that is the fulcrom(?) or axis in wich the wheel is steered. The article is a bit over my head but might be something to consider, espetialy if you plan on boosting it.

if the wheels look nice who cars if they are knock offs or the real deal they are wheels. heck i've ran stockers(factory wheels) on all my bmws yet people thing they look nice and i get complements on them. i'd go for power then i would buy light cheaper wheels if i really felt i needed them or 'real deal' if i found a deal on them or decided i liked them better

i'd save for actually good wheels and then do the go fast work, why spend over a thousand dollars on I/H/E when you'll probably get better or equal performance with lighter wheels and better tires
and rotas suck...btw, i'd never run that bullshit on my car

See this is what i'm saying you say rotas suck but there knockoffs of some of the hottest rims out there. If a person says Rotas are lame they're saying that Mugen, Spoon, Volks etc. are lame. They are the same at a more affordable price. I'm only 19 and most 19 year old kids can't save up for the real stuff and do performance at the same time unless their getting help from mom and dad.
it's a personal preferance thing but don't say they suck

and i bought my 5Zigen wheels when i was 17, so don't give me that crap, save save save and you can get GOOD products, or at least not crap like Rotas
my parents have never helped me with my car, i bought my car from my dad so don't give me that bullshit, i'm 20 and have done everything myself
long story short, they're not the same, rota wheels are cheap imitations, and you have to save up to get good parts, or you'll replace them farther down the line if you want better performance
