Group Buy - Rota Slipstreams or Rota Grid
 
Hey Everyone, if you have started looking into wheels you'll probably see that many sizes are not in production. Rota has a min quantity of 3 sets. I want to see if two other 86 owners happen to want to go in on a but with me for Flat Black Slipstreams or Grids. Currently you can get grids in 17 x 9, but I would like 17 x 8 or 8.5, allowing for a more aggressive looking offset. Another wheel I feel would look great on the car would be the 17" Slips. I know they are a bit played out on other cars, but I think they'd look amazing on our cars. Some benefits here, are both of these wheel will look decent without doing a suspension mod. Thought I would throw it out here. Feel free to PM me or respond to this thread.

17x10 White Rota Grids pleaseeee

davidsolarbell 08-26-2012 07:58 PM

I dont think 17 x 10s will even fit on our cars. 9 looks tight / close to me. I'm thinking 8. That way the car will still be a bit tail happy

Chuynh207 08-26-2012 08:50 PM

They don't make Rota Grids in white for 17". If they did, I would have bought them already!!!! I'm down to get 18x8.5 Rota Grids in White if that helps

deedz 08-26-2012 11:34 PM

Chuynh207 08-26-2012 11:59 PM

Rotas usually come in a lowest offset of +30 for 5x100 wheels.

Hello everyone. We would be willing to make a group buy thread for 17x8.5 17x9.5 or 18x8.5 18x9.5 Rota Grids if we have enough interest. If you are interested please send us over a PM and we will add you to a list.

Thanks,

Chris

I enjoyed the 16" black slipstreams on a Honda Prelude two cars ago. Would love to see what 17" slipsteams look like on the BRZ...

BlaineWasHere 08-27-2012 10:43 PM

I'm running 17x9 grids et 42 with 245/40 easy.

Asphaltfrs1 08-27-2012 11:28 PM

A group buy would be nice, I haven't seen the grids on an FRS though. I like the torques and the G Force better. Pictures might change my mind

I would like to thank to Wheeldude and CVT for hooking it up on the rims and tires. Also thanks to William Lam from Lam Photography for taking the photos

Enjoy :)

Grids in bronze on a whiteout???

XTR Performance 08-29-2012 04:21 PM

We are placing an order for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Rota Grids. Please let us know if you are interested in them. We are only getting 5 of each, the first 10 customers have DIBS!

Please also let us know what offset everyone wants. A group buy will be posted tomorrow for these wheels.

XTR Performance 08-29-2012 04:36 PM

We were thinking 18x8.5 +44 and the 18x9.5 +38... what do you guys think?

yup in the P.I they can make any size you want

Chuynh207 08-30-2012 07:03 PM

Who can I e-mail to request it then?

JDogg 12-12-2013 03:02 PM

Has anyone put snow tires on 17x9 Grids? I know you're supposed to go narrow for snow tires, but just wondering...

yberther 12-14-2013 02:58 AM

17x9/35 slipstreams would be awesome.

JDogg 12-17-2013 01:04 PM

Has anyone put snow tires on 17x9's? And if so, what size? I'm having a hard time finding tires...
