Those are definitely Work. Rota's bronze/gold is MUCH lighter in color.

anything less than a 9.5" wide CR Kai will NOT give you the concave look. i had a staggered setup before and decided to go 9.5" all around. offset will not change the concaveness of the wheel either.

if you want my look now: 18x9.5 +38 all around
if you want the staggered look: 18x8.5 +30 up front. 18x9.5 +38 in the rear

hope that helps!

IMO your set now looks amazing. i dont really dig the concave in the back / flat in the front look.

thats like the very minimum. Usually you only have super-wide rims if you need the grip on the track or your have deep pockets for use as a DD. (tires get expensive)

I recommend 265 for a 9.5" wheel
