Bad news guys. Took my car in for a balance and I got 3 bent rims. I'm pretty sure it was from the time my brother took a small but very tall speedbump at full speed. The sound and shock was insane. It's not his fault though, the bump was difficult to see and there was no warning sign. The city smoothed it out weeks later, of course. I took my car in to get it balanced and the guys told me that one of the wheel is majorly bent. The other two are mildly bent. He let me in the garage and let me witness it for myself. This sucks big ones. Maybe it would've been a different story if they weren't Rotas. I don't know... I need new wheels. But I don't have money for legit expensive brand wheels. And I don't really want to go with Rota again just cause of this experience, though it might not even have been brand issue (my OEM Toyota rims bent a while back). AHhhhhhh I don't know what to do.

Yep! But they were only 5mm. I need about 20mm more now that I'm running -1.45 camber in the rear. It sits too tucked now. I'm talking to this guy right now. Apprently there's some damage so he's gonna send me pics. But for $900 for these discontinued wheels with good tires, it's a good deal. I wish they were 15s though. stockton.craigslist.org/pts/3788943917.html

Yes sirr they are the Volk Gram Lights 57C! He has it in 15s though. I wish these were 15s too so I could run higher sidewalls to protect them. Guess I just need to be careful for as long as I can. lol
I'm meeting up with the guy tomorrow. Hope all goes well.

Thanks brohan! I do have a shot of it with the lights on but it didn't turn out as nice as I thought it would. The light caused to much of a glare.
