Did you purchase them brand new from a dealer? If so, that sounds roughly accurate.

If you purchased them second hand, you got completely ripped off. They're only worth $250 - $400 with tires.

well i went on rotas site and they named it different for sum reason but yeah i just realized the lugs were bwr because the shop who were showing me choices on lugs they were all blox and i thought these were blox but after looking at the name they are bwr.

i dont care if they are knockoffs, so what, brand name is a bunch of **** to me, if they look good and function the same they are good in my eyes

they were from a tuning shop so brand new

whats with all the hate? yea i prob got too excited and overlooked what brand the rims and lugs were but damn, im not going to spend 1-2k in rims and tires when i bought the car for 2800 and im not bragging, just excited because its my first car thats all mine, ive leased a 2010 gti before, 500 a month sucked after a while and expensive repairs. where is the love lmao

Let the haters hate, do your thing. It's funny Honda kids hate on rotas for being cheap and fake yet other communities have no problem with them (Subaru, Mitsubishi) and like them more than "real" rims. Even higher end track cars use rotas with zero problems. Like you said you're driving a $3k car, there's no point in spending $2k+ for rims and tires. It's like Black people putting $4k rims on their $1k car and think they're ballin.

In the end it's your car and do what you want to do it, the person sitting on the internet posting isn't driving your car every day.

Nice looking car though!! Where are you at around Chicago?!

16" looks way better on a coupe.

Should have kept an eye out for a nice set of second hand wheels if you have that amount of money to spend.
I bought my bronze Work Emotions in 16" for $650 with two good tires and two bad ones, wheels like new and the original stickers weren't even used.
