same rim size and offset should not be considered copy. Alot of brands make preset sizes and offset so there's only a handful of choices you can make.

you can always tell whats a rota grid vs a te37 or te37 rep.

you said it was identical. its clearly not and your even going back on what you said.

No hate here. but use your sense.
Yeah they're fakes not reps

grids are similar to te 37

but they are not replicas of te37. if they were they would be identical across all offsets

fine they're similiar to TE's

I get that question all the time. "Yo are those Rota Grids? they're so concave!"

"no they aren't reps/copies/phoney/counterfeit/bogus ass wheels"

holy **** i missed a lot. i have been trying to fix my ******* car all day. i blew 2 emissions fuses and took apart my whole intake setup and MAF sensor trying to fix this ****.
but back to stance, grids are reps of TE37s, thats that. have you ever seen a 11in low offset TE37? the concave is ******* ridiculous. as for people with varrstoens, yeah i started it and yeah 2 people have them. so what, great looking wheel, and I just pulled the trigger to do it when other people pussied out. Mikey, your car looks great, but its essentially the same set up i had. White TE reps with adapters, at a low 20s offset. Just because you have 215s doesnt make it that much better. I had 235s and they fit purrrfect. sorry to say but the only innovators are the ones who thought to do different. Will is ******* low as ****, which almost none of us can achieve, (plus he is on 18s) Mike C pulled the trigger to become one of the first "stanced" balts, and I just pulled the trigger on the 9.5s and made them fit. Its now time for other people to do something else. sloobaltss was the first fitted sedan, and it looks great. Cody got the sawblades to fit just like my old (first) setup and that looks baller as ****. With Nate and Josh taking the Varrstoen crown from me, they will get ups from everyone else.

So with that said, no hard feelings to anyone, and most of us have reps. so what, you cant call out someone who has reps if you have reps. its ******* retarded. Its not a race to see who can go lower or wider. we are all on the same team. its getting dumb with all this petty bullshit we throw at each other. obviously we wont agree on something, but eventually we will collectively nod our heads in approval when someone "fits" their car. Very soon we will have new fitted balts, and very soon will we change the game of stance, but for now lets just shut the **** up and make the **** up. I am tired of arguing with you guys.

by the way, my new set up will be probably the most epic ever. <3

end of the day I think we all stand out above the rest no matter what....Im going to rep the **** out of what I got .......I think "stance" is finally catching on in the cobalt community and if done right its going to be the best thing to come to it.

Agreed with what Dom said, I may never be stanced but I think anyone should be able to give due respect to the people that tried something different, real wheels or reps.

Keep it up guys!

Essentially the same set up is what every one will have. so a few mm here or there is actually a different set up

we only have a bit of room to change things up cant do much different then a 9 ~et20 or 9.5 ~et28

other then that there isnt much **** you can do different unless you do any the body work like what mike has done...
