Rota comes through- SSR SP1 Replica's - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SoCalSilvia · 07-30-2005, 04:19 PM

Not sure if anyone on here has seen this, but Rota has finally come through on a wide, decent offset, sweet looking wheel. I've personally always liked what Rota has done, but this is the first time they have come through for the RWD guys(other than the TE-replica in 16" only). I got rid of my S14 awhile back and drive an MR2 turbo now, and while on the MR2 boards(MR2OC) I came across this post:

http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=124982

We are running a group buy for the all new Rota D2 wheel (SSR Professor SP1 replica). Rota is introducing this wheel as SPECIAL ORDER ONLY. This means Rota will not be stocking it so in order to get this wheel you will have to order through a dealer and wait approximately 1.5 months from the time the order is put in. The wheel will be available in the below configurations:

Sizes
17x7.5- $160 each
17x8- $170 each
17x8.5- $175 each

Colors
Gunmetal w/ polished lip
Gold w/ polished lip
Black w/ polished lip
Hyper Black w/ polished lip
Other colors may be available if demand is high enough

Offsets
+25
+35
+40
+45
+48

Bolt Patterns
4x100
4x114.3
5x100
5x114.3

Prices are listed above and include shipping when a set of 4 wheels is purchased. At this point we do not see any problem meeting the minimum order with Rota to get this produced. Feel free to call at anytime to put your order in (919-383-4605 11 AM- 7 PM EST). The group buy will end 8/15/05. At that point you will be charged the 50% deposit. Once the wheels arrive at Rota the remaining balance will be due.

Any pics of them on a car and pics of the different colors? The Rota is the one on the left, right? And you have to be a member to view your link.

SilviaDriver · 07-30-2005, 04:29 PM

they are comparing it with the wrong wheel

North240 · 07-30-2005, 04:34 PM

Wow they're actually not that bad, granted a 8.5 +25 isnt going to win you points with the jDm tYt3 Flush kings but decent street wheels none the less.

atom · 07-30-2005, 04:39 PM

Damn that shit's poserish. I guess it'll fool people from 10 feet away though.

SoCalSilvia · 07-30-2005, 04:47 PM

wheel on the left is the rota wheel. the wheel on the right is work meister s1(similar to ssr sp1), i was just copying and pasting the thread from MR2OC. no pics on a car

420sx · 07-30-2005, 04:47 PM

how much 17* 8.5 weight??? thats what the hell i wanna know. and if they will clear coilz at +25... .they should but not sure

SoCalSilvia · 07-30-2005, 05:34 PM

"The 17X7.5 is aproximatly 17 lbs"

According to the vendor who created this thread over at MR2OC

OptionZero · 07-30-2005, 05:56 PM

Thats actually not that cheap...unless you really want that particular style, you can get better sizing from Mustang wheels or Kosei K1 (which IIRC is ~$200 from tire rack). Again, if u want that style, thats cheaper than the real thing, but for the sizes, you could go elsewhere.

420sx · 07-30-2005, 06:04 PM

kosei k1 is ugliest fuckin wheel ever especially on s14s. yuck

stock mustang wheels are even heavier that these.

Kosei K1's looked bad? When did this happen. Oh well... Better go buy some FN01RC's instead!!!

any day. im selling my 4 lug setup fn-rc and guess what im getting for 5 lug?

yeap. fn-rc.

OptionZero · 07-30-2005, 06:12 PM

Yes, but for the price of two of these, i can get 4 mustang wheels in wider sizes. Looks are subjective, price and size are not.

mistaanime · 07-30-2005, 06:31 PM

rims look aiite..looks more like replica Nismo LM GT2

420sx · 07-30-2005, 06:32 PM

mustang wheels are fucking heavy. doesnt mean i dont like them tho.

tew photy · 07-30-2005, 06:36 PM

neither is weight...

but i guess if you really care about that, then you're not exactly looking for bottom dollar

sepulchral · 07-30-2005, 07:30 PM

where the F can i get them..

drift freaq · 07-30-2005, 07:36 PM

to the guy that called them poserish , they would make a great set of disposable drift wheels compared to the price of Real SSR Professors. I would rock them for that kind of money and beat the living daylights out of them. hahahhahhahhaha

whooha1217 · 07-30-2005, 08:00 PM

i want a set!!!!!

that180guy · 07-30-2005, 08:08 PM

dizzzam!!! and ive been looking for nice street wheels too!
damn straight ima cop n beat the shit outta em! 17x8.5 +25 is a pretty damn nice size, unless ur a uber flush nazi

vvtisupra · 07-30-2005, 08:18 PM

8.5 +25 is around +43 offset on a 7 inch wide wheel meaning you'll prolly need a 5 mm spacer if you are running any coils other than tein. Tein he you'll need alil more

nlzmo400r · 07-30-2005, 08:20 PM

ive got 17x8.5 with 25offset all around on my s13 w/rolled fenders and it DEFINITELY sits FLUSH,I had to camber them in quite a bit on both ends when my car is low- Rob

***S14DB*** · 07-30-2005, 11:38 PM

Shitty offsets and widths. Price is average but not spectacular.

raen419 · 07-31-2005, 12:22 AM

17x8.5 +25 is a good size/width.
just b/c it's not +2 doesn't make it shitty.

flushness is overrated.

are these actually multi-piece wheels or are they just fake multi-piece wheels.

These will hit your suspension thou. It's not just the look. Functionally they suck too,

cast fake multi piece isn't good in my book, but if they were a bit cheaper, i guess they'd be good track wheels...on a budget.
btw, 17x8.5 +25 will clear coilovers. look at the dt05-r's...same size, fits s13 and s14 up front w/o any issues whatsoever.

oh well, if i'm going to buy track wheels, i'm going w/ diamond racing's....they're cheap, not too heavy, ugly, and can get "custom" sizes and offsets w/o extra charge.

OptionZero · 07-31-2005, 12:28 AM

yeah, they might be OK in the front ,but if you're going to spend any sort of money (more than 100 a wheel...), you might as well get 9inch or wider. Plus these are cast, single piece knockoffs.

FRpilot · 07-31-2005, 01:28 AM

so thse would be 1piece and those rivet looking thingies are just glued on?

s0ldats · 07-31-2005, 02:22 AM

those wheels look like shit and the sizes are shit

daredevildoug · 07-31-2005, 02:41 AM

i almost bought some down here, over all,the quality of the wheel is gay. i wouldnt buy them.. just my two cents!
