Work Meister/ Speed Star SP1 Professor Replicas

[danger69]

Alright I'm giving a heads up to you guys only. Rota will be releasing a new wheel called the GP1 in June which is a replica of the SSR SP1 Professor. What offset do you guys need +25? It will come in 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. The lowest will be +25/30/35. LMK and it will be offered as 5 or 4 lug.

[TOMY]

SICK! I'm totally in for a set!

[BOMEX180]

looks good...

[Pudula]

Those sizes and offsets suck pretty hard. try 18x10 or something with a +20 or below and people will bite.

People will bite just because they are knockoffs, will be offered for both lug patterns, and can be staggered with a reasonable size (17in.)

Nice looking set of rims. Why 2 threads though?

[NI_YON_Zenki]

If you guys go in onna group buy setup, im in. I want -20 X 18 10" . . . . .whats the $ range?

[CodyW]

i might be interested if the sizes were a little better (17x9/17x10) with lower offsets and if the price was good.

[s14turbosilvia]

I'd say offer at least a +18 and i'd be in for sure. Also, try widths like 8.5 and 9.5.

[Eternal_240Sx]

anybody know what kind of prices we will be looking at?

[cheez80]

i'd like something like a 17x9.5 +15 all around.

[Salty_X]

I'd like 13x7 -20... oh and could you add about 95 spokes to that wheel? and can I get it gold plated?

i was so happy when a shop gave me a heads up for these wheels...been waiting patiently and quietly ever since...the sizes are not too bad, but the offsets could be a little lower...those sound like perfect sw20 sizes...i dont get it, are you asking?..if you are, nothing over +18 please i smell the demise of the FNs/gramlights...

[element240]

18x9 +20 all around

[yudalicious]

ugh, those sizes are good (unless you are hardc0re JDM dori dori master and you need the 18x10 -25 offset to help you drift), maybe offset could be lower by 10-15mm for clearance reasons.

actually, on second look, the design of the rim looks like it could look relaly good as 18s.

[ZK]

Looks good, can't wait to see the actual wheels... hope they have different colors and some reverse dish design... but then its Rota so I'm not holding my breath.

[Dousan_PG]

fake 2 piece?
hahaha

if so..
so lame


overal i guess ok if your on a budget and such, i wouldnt waste the money on such

[RBS14]

^^^

what he said.

and, what are you guys smoking? 17x7.5/8.5 are good sizes? haha And the offsets suck to boot.

[hkspeed]

if these come in 4 lug, they'll say fake all over it.

[NZO]

Rota just doesnt have the machinery to produce wheels in widths greater than 8.5.

SSR makes 'em w/ a 4-lug pattern for Hondas.

:hammer:

Look for yourself..

anyways..

Those sizes are weak sauce! 17x7.5 and 17x8.5.. w/ +25 as the lowest offset WTF?

How 'bout 17x9.5 +15 or 17x10 +12.. something along the lines of the 5Zigen's FN01's..

Whatever.. Rota's core market is Honda Civic/Integra/Accord/Prelude and Miatas.

[revat619]

^^^ word.

ATLEAST, make them in the same sizes available for the fno1s. +25 is ok i guess, for the average consumer, but those widths are horrible. I wouldnt buy them, but if these are gonna be geared toward the RWD crowd, dont offer anything less than 8.5 inches wide. 7.5 is just ghey.

[phrozen]

cmon atleast like +0

[kazuo]

Weak sizing.

You get what you pay for.

[HyperTek]

17x8 +20 17x9 would be decent staggers... Make em in white (got an obession with white rims)..

[turtl631]

7.5" and 8.5" widths would be nice for a 225/45 and 245/40 stagger for a non drift setup. Although since these are targeted to 240s, the chances of finding someone who doesn't really care about drifting, or at least having their car look like they are drifters, are slim...

[drew935]

Shoot might as well make them in a 17X8/9/10 with good offsets like 5/10/15/20 in 4 and 5 lug. I agree with SW20>>S14, that size is good for a MR2..but the offset is too low...
But the design looks good...Rota vs. GM lights for me

[m0rex]

Depends on the price then its the size of them. If they are cheap w/ a sucky size then it wouldnt mind but if they try to overprice them with a crappy ass size then its not worth it.

[infinitexsound]

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh better size and offset, wide widths low offset..

[Colorado S14]

If they came in a 17x9 +25 and a 17x10 +35 then I would seriously consider them. I hope they dont weigh 30 lbs though!

[turtl631]

Seeing as the real wheels weigh a ton, I doubt these will be light. Some of the sizes are okay, but offset definitely needs to be under 30, even if you want to run proper fitting tires. +20 shoudl be the highest offset offered in any width...
