I am not a huge fan of Rotas, but they sure do look mighty fine on that car. It also does help that, that car is swingin' low and clean as a mother trucker

 

Contact Luke Lonberger at Shock Drifting Performance. They are a Rota vendor here in NorCal. Great prices too!

I'm planning to get my Diff welded by him and maybe pick up a set of Rotas that look like the ones he has on his FD this summer. I wonder if they have them in bronze... 18x9.5 w/ 0 offset all the way around. Yes I am insane.

"Offset is everything" - Calvin Wan

 

*I* was also looking at these.

I originally was planning to get the P45R's, but I've learned that they won't fit the front without extensive modification, and I didn't want the P45F's and R's in the rear...

Problem with the grids is that they don't clear the Z32 calipers, which will be a problem...

I don't mean to thread jack or anything, but does anyone know where you can get grids or SIMILAR in 5x114.3??

I'm fickle when it comes to choosing something, haha. I just want it to be right though...

 

i've seen the grids in 5lug on ebay in 16x8. ive even seen the spoon style rotas in 16x8. But, you could get te37's if you want similar styled wheels

 

Are those 16x8 with the low offset, or the standard? I think the offset is like +45 or so. I may end up getting these; I'll keep you posted, but I'll definitely check e-bay. Thanks Spence, lol.

 

they come in a +10 offset. you could do that with 5mm spacers and i bet it would clear brakes

 

Hmmm. I might just have to do that. I was looking at:


This car. I was thinking I might go bronze or gunmetal as opposed to gold!

 

those p45s or whatever come in 18x9.5 +-0?

 

I thought they would come in larger wheel sizes, but the Rota web site is weird... the biggest they have on their web site is 16's... I want 18's.

F*k it, 5Zigen FN01RC's 18 x 9.5 +12 offset all the way around! Cheap in price as well, but definately durable and VERY reliable.

 

people say Rota's are crap for a reason.

i seen a Rota wheel crack when the tire popped fist hand.

they do look cool though.

 

As far as I know the P45R's come in 18 x 9.5 +30mm

 

thats insane? well i must be ****in nuts.....WORK EUROLINE DH 18X9 -23 18X10 -20

 

my grids on my old s14: (16x8 +20)




and on my current s14:

 

Looks awesome. What kind of spacers did you have to get to clear your suspension? I'd definitely like to get something like these.

 

Didn't need spacers to clear. Currently running Tein S-tech + KYB AGX. I'll be upgrading to coilovers soon though. They are 16x8 +20, so they sit out far enough for there to be no suspension clearance issues. I do run a 5 mm spacer in the back, but that's purely for cosmetic reasons. (flushness )

note: they do NOT clear Z brakes, believe me I tried. I'm running Q45 brakes.

I used to daily those wheels, but they are now my autoX wheels. I also daily rotas - d2s. They were originally gold, but I recoated them graphite (woot duplicolor!). 17x8.5 +20. These DO clear Z brakes. Same 5 mm spacer in the back, they don't have any clearance issues without the spacer. They do rub the fender liner in the front *slightly* on super hard corners or super hard braking, but its pretty rare. Might become more of an issue once I lower it more w/ coilovers.

The grids run 225/50/16 all around (I may bump that up once these tires wear out) and the D2s run 225/45/17 in the front, 235/45/17 in the back.
