No rush, should of waited. There is still plenty of spring, summer, and fall left to roll on.

In that case, I wouldn't sweat it. The Rotas don't look bad and as long as you're happy

damn man i wish i could be the voice of reason here and have everyone agree but it seems that some have already said it. the wheels look great whether volks, works, rotas or what have you. nice color as well and like another thread stated "its not what you wear but how you wear it" so good on you bro.

You made the right choice. Grids have greater concave and priced right.

I think your car looks great with the new setup Jon! Definitely not a downgrade in my opinion as you still have a very wide wheel, it's still cast aluminum, and it's light weight.
Enjoy the new setup!

Weird having chosen the Works then going Rotas... but I guess if you can't wait.
I waited 3 months for my wheels so I know what that wait thing is like.

Car was in the body shop with 3 good wheels...
needed new set asap to get my car out on the road again. or the car could sit at the body shop and get charged a storage fee...
and i know you think they could have just put the spare on and i took it home that way until the works came in. But they needed to get the car aligned and they would not be able to do that with the spare on it.
so I needed to make a fast decision, and after acting quickly while still thinking, I made the right choice. the GRID has great style and the concave in this wheel is just perfect.
and the not to mention the Mcgard Lug nuts I got with these wheels are top notch. they spin on a spacer so they dont scratch your wheel. and they tell me they do not chip or fade like other anodized lugs on the market.
I baught a set of red 5 zigen lugs for $135 and they turned pink in about 3 months. And the Mcgard costs less than the 5Zigen, So we will see if the product will stand up to this California summer.

car looks nice. Nothing to regret.
Some positives: Grids will be easier to clean. Now you have $550 extra to spend on go fast parts.
The Divine Super JDM Fanboi's will not be happy w/your choice though.
