I think he was refering to the center caps. The old style rota center caps look fugly. I like the new ones that i saw at wheeldude's frs.

Why support a company that copies another design, like Rota, XXR, Varrstoen. I'm not down with that and the concave of the Grids, doesn't look right IMO. I think it would look better w/out the ctr cap.

Seeing they're Rotas, does anyone know what model they're knocking off?
The more I see these, the more I like them. |

I believe they are replicas of watanabe f8s, which are, so I'm told, around 700$ each.

I did a quick google search. I found some 17x9 but you'd have to use adapters and they were already a low offset.

I'm on fortune auto 500 v4s. I'm guessing I set it to about a one inch drop but it maybe closer to one one-half inch. I first started with them at their highest setting.

I think the wheels look sweet.
As for Rota's? I'd buy em in a heartbeat. I am no wheel snob or track racer and am not about to spend $600+ on a single freaking wheel. |
