Unhappy Problem with Rota D2's

I just picked these up today and they seems to rub against the brakes. Any advice to what is wrong?




EDIT: yea, Rota D2's DO NOT fit 05 wrx's.

Whoa, sorry to hear that. I'd be very sad to get brand new rims, tires, only to try and put them on and find THAT out. Maybe downright depressed.

At least you got your problem fixed Don't worry, the D2's aren't that great looking anyway.. hehe

i dont have problems with rota, more with knock off companies that 'borrow' designs from companies who spent time/money to develop the original product.

but when cash is tight, i can understand going the less expensive route
