How are you liking the wheels so far?

Still loving them, they definitely make the car stand out. I have a few scratches on them but nothing serious. The paint is holding up well and like I said I am very happy still with my purchase.

As Rota doesn't offer touch up paint in this color, has anyone found something close?
I curbed one of my Titans and a replacement wheel is unavailable right now.

So I cleaned it up with a Dremel tool and found a bronze Sharpie in my wife's crap. It came out pretty good but I'm searching for a better looking and more permanent solution. Unless someone has an extra wheel they can sell me!

Thank you.

I appreciate it. I might just leave it, spray some clear coat on and see how it holds up.

I JUST did this in San Francisco the other day. Can you take a pic of the bit that you used with the dremel?

The gold Titan has been my leading contender for an eventual wheel swap since I bought my car. No matter how many wheels I look at, I keep coming back to them, and the cost is reasonable. I'm thinking about picking up a set in a few years when my tires get worn down. What are your offsets and weights? Also, can you post up some pics of them on your car? Thank you. :-)

I'm running the 17x9 +42 Titans and they weigh in at 17.8lbs each. Great choice, I love mine!
Here's a few pics.

Thank you! Saving images. That's exactly the look I want on my Charcoal FR-S. What's the name of this color? It looks very GOLD in close-ups but then turns into a beautiful bronzed color in long shots. Looks great on Metalic Blue. Thanks again. :-)

Here are the supplies I used. I had never used a rotorary tool before so these are probably not the correct bits or methods to use but it turned out well. I set the speed on the lowest setting and tried the sandpaper wheel first. It seemed too aggressive so the stone wheel is what I used for the rest of the job. When all the rash was ground down I used the honing stone to square up the lip. Then I wrapped some scrap pieces of wet sandpaper around the same honing stone to smooth out the finish. Aside from the difference in finsh color you cannot see or feel where the repair was. Good luck on yours!

great looking wheels and price! too bad they don't offer in stock 17x7 sizes...

@fstlane I've always wondered about using dremel tool on wheel. Outcome is great by the way, but wouldn't using dremel make uneven surface on wheel?
