haha already have seen these wheels. they sit in a ship in riverside. yah those look clean on a MR2. for 240s at least a good 25mm spacer is needed to get my acceptable range of flushness. yah those wheels weight something not light. But for a street wheel that you can curb and bash with out remose. I'd get a set to save my goodies for the cruise and hard parking days. haha.

A 17x8.5 +25 is not bad on a S13 actually. Will fit without any fender rolling and still look flush - not the past the fender with stretched tires look. I'm mainly concerned if the F/R combo look staggered and dish. If they're cheap enough I'd care less if it was fake, I won't need to worry about ruining them.

toledo240 · 05-05-2005, 11:13 AM

how much are these wheels going to run for? are 7.5 width with a 25 even going to sit flush?

vinhisbored · 05-05-2005, 10:31 PM

don't look too bad.. but then again.. it's not the real thing.. just wondering like everyone else about how much they'll be running for..

nrg · 05-06-2005, 12:30 AM

woah. rota is going to make 2/3 piece wheels? ssr and works do make 1 piece version of these wheels.
If rota makes them in good size and offset to clear my setup, then i'd be in for a set only for track.

<^> ^_^ <^> · 05-06-2005, 01:02 AM

need better offsets!!!

sw20>>s14 · 05-06-2005, 03:46 AM

nrg · 07-16-2005, 03:18 AM

upSLIDEdown · 07-16-2005, 07:24 AM

Yeah, I saw this the other day... I was hoping if I didn't say anything about them, they'd just go away...LOL From what that GB says, they're not even making the 8.5, only the 7.5...

m0rex · 07-16-2005, 08:10 AM

They look real good. Actually even though Rota has some nasty wheels i never seen their gram light replicas or any of those in the gb. If they had some decent sizes not meant for honda i think 5zigen will have some competition.

drivens13 · 07-28-2005, 08:26 PM

ewww these are a waste of money if you have a s14,might as well go to pep boys and buy teh motegi 17x7 +42 gheyness.eww

trsilvias13 · 07-28-2005, 11:46 PM

if rota did make them wider than 8.5 in, no one here would buy it ? why because they will charge most becuase they will have to buy new machinery to do so. But IF they do, you guys still wont buy it, why because more than likely it will not be a 2/3 peice wheel. And they will most likely have "crap" offset. Then more than likely, everyone will complain about the weight. Then everyone will not be like why buy some "fake" wheels need some super duper jdm ssr real thing. And IF Rota come close in what everyone here want, no one will still buy them becuase it is ROTA, which is a company that most company see as cheap/crap/unreliable/blah blah blah. If you own Rota, you would do the same. Not everyone is hardcore super drifter. They make wheels that can be used for more than one car. Im guessing they rather make money by selling volume instead of orginal design for a niche market.

if you guys want "good" wheels, dont even bother looking at rota.
At least rota gave us an options for wheel that isnt that bad. 8.5 with +25 up front wont be bad on our cars, then go buy two real ssr 9.5 in the rear or something.

blue109 · 07-29-2005, 12:31 AM

id be pissed if i had real ones!

Rota actually makes good castings from what I hear...

Not bad? Yah it's not bad, its horrendous. 7.5 + 25~!?
Atleast give us a decent offset.

And they look real good!? What are you smoking?
Even real professors in those sizes are ugly.

I would buy a set if they came in 17x9 + Not suck.

trsilvias13 · 07-29-2005, 11:59 PM

hey it way better than only offering 7.0 or 7.5 with only a 45 offset right?
