I can justify up $2000 delivered for wheels so will go Wedssport's, but for those that can't this is just fine in my eyes. Do the TC105n's come in Bronze?

for a good quality wheel, I do not consider that to be expensive.

I consider expense separately from value. Sorry, old habit.

Like Filipinos with average wage under $10k a year.

I am all for bashing on Rotas but in this case let the dude enjoy his new toys.

The wheels look great. Would love to see more pics from different angles.

Awesome. I'm surprised they look somewhat concave at 17x8" et45.

Showed you what? Sorry, I wasn't trying to prove a point or anything. I'm in finance and to us, expense and value are two different things. I'm agreeing with you, however, that some things are worth paying top dollar for.

I think it looks really good.

If people just want to complain about Rota wheels, go crap up a different thread. let OP enjoy his new stuff, and don't buy them for yourself. Cool, they duplicate the designs of more expensive wheels. We get it. Some people don't like it, and it's nothing new. Nobody on either side is going to change their mind. Move along, plzkthx.

Exactly the look I was going for on my GBS BRZ. I want TC105Ns but if these are 18lbs or less would be great for autox duty. Any idea what the weight is? Love the combo!
