Rota RT5 18x8.5+44, 18x9.5+44
 

Due to the new brakes I've been on a wheel hunt for the last couple months. I was finally getting the car together and the new Brembos killed my last wheel choice. Ultimately it came down to looks and availability.

These are Rota RT5s 18x8.5+44 Front, 18x9.5+44 Rear. I went "semi-staggered" with 255/35-18 Front, and 265/35-18 Rear. I wanted to keep the tires square, but the wheel choice killed that idea.

Custom Gloss Black powder coat with yellow APEX decals to match the calipers.

Oh, and the reason why I don't have the TC105Ns any more:

Innovate Stage 2 w/ 70mm pulley.

looks great! congrats. I like Rota Wheels. functional yet won't break the bank while still looking good.

Car and Wheels look good man. Saw the wheels at the wheelmedic last time it got powdered. E-man told me it's yours .

How do you like the innovate ? Did you install it yourself ?

Love the Innovate SC. Instant torque on demand with no lag. The car could be NA.. I did the install myself. It went relatively smoothly. I took my time with it.

Sweet !! Who tuned it ? Did you get them dynoed yet ? I need to get the FI kit in order ... Too much playing around looking for wheels .. Lol

looking really good. i agree that the wheels are great deal and im sure all the negativity thrown towards them is from butthurt people who spend way too much on wheels and wanna make others feel degraded :)

Looks great!!!
I have the same set but mine are Flat Black and I also considering getting some STi Brembos.

I'm having Delicious Tuning handle that end of things. Dyno will be in a few weeks. I have to sort a couple things first.
I've had both. From custom TE37s to a set that cost $99 per wheel new. There's benefits to both approaches.
cool. The Brembo swap is pretty easy actually. It happened to be the source of my biggest headaches, but that was all due to poor prior planning.

curious as to why you didn't go with 9.5's all around.


also, what coilovers/springs do you have? it looks like you stopped updating your build thread looonnnggg ago.

Good looking wheels and bay!

I wanted to. But the RT5 (and Grid, and RPF1, and 57C6, etc.) don't clear STI Brembos in the 18x9.5 size. So I had to go staggered. That's why I "semi staggered" with a 255F and 265R.

Looks bad ass! I really like how your gloss black wheels looks.
