Anyone know where I can buy these Rota's with the polished lip? All the colours I can find are solid.

I really was going for this look as well, but settled on the RT5's in hypersilver. I'm thinking of having a paint shop do the gunmetal grey part, although, not sure where to put the tape lines.

Wheeldude, why you no offer these wheel here? They would be a huuuuge seller.

check our site for all the latest rota updates, we post everything new that comes in for the FRS along with a bunch of other markets as well

You can even tell what rota are going to release, 6 months before they announce it.

Just watch other wheel manufacturers release their new designs, and bang, there you have rota's new designs 6 months later.

"I like rota's cos they're cheaper"

Buying a stolen car is cheaper than one from the dealer. Think about that for a second.

Looks very very nice. Any chance you could make a picture showing how much the wheels/tires poke out in the front after the lowering of the car? A shot from front and back showing the side of the car would be awesome (something like you did already on the first page, just from the front aswell)
Thanks

this specific color? Probably not, but we do have plenty of Grids in stock

The IKR is just another name for the Grid, it's actually an item code, but some dealers outside of the US call them an IKR.

That's unfortunate.. these would be a big seller by the sounds of it. They are the best looking grids on white by far IMO

Hey Ty! Any rubbing or clearance issues with the stock struts? Are you running camber arms/bolts or is it just the natural camber from being lowered on the pro kits?

I ended up fitting a set of 18x9.5 +48 on my car with no problems. The only caveat is that you must run coilovers.

The general consensus on the forums is that 18x9.5 +38 should fit, even on stock suspension. You may have to run a 3-5mm spacer depending on tire size, and model. (Some tires run large for their size)
