I would not suggest that, they are different styles with different spoke profiles.

Nope, just within factory specs.

RT5's, DPT's, and Grid's are all available in 18x8.5.

8's not so much.

Conical seat lugnuts, anything on our website under the wheel accessories section will work.

Do the Rota Titans come in any lower offset besides +42 for 17x9's? I love the look(and lower weight) of the Titans, but i want to be able to run about -2 degrees of camber; not sure if the 17x9 +42 will clear the suspension... :-/

Looking for +35 if possible.

The recent proliferation of counterfeit ROTA Wheels around Asia has prompted its manufacturer and trademark holder Philippine Aluminum Wheels, Inc. (PAWI) to issue a warning statement to protect customers.

The official statement from PAWI is in bold:

The counterfeit [ROTA] wheels have recently surfaced through some wheel dealers in Malaysia. They are manufactured in China. The most distinct feature of the 'copies' is that they are embossed with a ROTA marking on the face of the wheel, whereas the genuine ROTA [wheel] has none. They also come with a center cap bearing the 'ROTA Wheels' logo. They are packaged in plain brown boxes. Original ROTA wheels come with boxes that feature ROTA markings and 3D wheel drawings.

"ROTA Wheels undergo rigid testing using JWL/JWL-T standards to assure you that you are purchasing quality wheels. We cannot guarantee the safety of the copies so please be careful with your wheel purchases," said Michael Rojas, president of PAWI.

ROTA and its logo is a registered trademark of Philippine Aluminum Wheels, Inc.

Genuine ROTA Wheels are made proudly in the Philippines.

The company has provided a link to its Distributors Page for customers to refer to in case they have questions about the products.

It hasn't been posted yet because it's not relevant to this thread.

Besides there were like 3-4 huge posts about it in other areas on the forum. Get this crap out of here.
