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.

Something in a 17x7.5 probably. Until then, I'm on a rota kind of budget. Lol
Right on! It looks good but since you're in a grind, why not rock the stocks for a little bit longer.

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 happened to find a steal of a deal on these. I couldn't pass it up. I was originally setting this money aside for a tune, I was hoping the Visconti flex fuel setup would be available. Guess some ADHD kicked in! Lol

Thanks for the compliment!

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

What suspension/drop are you running?

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.

watanabe reps, im hoping to get 16x10 with a huge lip to really make it look old schoolish

Doesn't sound like they would work. I'm looking at the Enkie Compes for that reason.

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.
