Rota wheels..... Rishie???

I am looking to purchase a set of 16 or 17" bronze rota subzeros for my fc. Rishie, are you able to get these wheels? If you are, please get me a quote on the following:

17" wheels with four z-rated tires, kuhmo's would be fine since i'm not looking for something too expensive. I trust your judgement on the tire sizing as long as they are the same size all around.

16" wheels with two z-rated tires, I have a brand new set of AVS intermediates so if I decide to purchase 16" wheels, I will only be needing a pair of tires(the AVS's are 225/50/16).

Thanks for your help!

I would not go with Rota's 17" diameter as the offset is too high for your vehicle. IT's a +45 and will look very funny.

The 16" would be okay as it's a 16,7 +40. Let me know if you want the 16's. If 17's are what you truly desire then I would need to look at another brand who makes a lower offset in that style.

LEt me know,

Rishie

Eric, they didn't quit making it. They just have to bring 40 pieces over at a time.

Still doesn't help me very much... I only need 4

Just keep me in mind if you see them bring over any Subzeros in Black, gunmetal, Savanah grey, or steel grey. Esp is any of them have a polished lip

I do appreciate you trying though....

Rishie,
The 16's would work. Can you give me a quote on a set with tires? I was originally going to use two of the AVS tires that I have but I can hold on to those as spares. I'm looking for the wheels in bronze or gunmetal, whichever is easier to get. Also, can you include all the hardware I will need to install them properly. Will I be needing any hub adapter rings? I know they are hub-cetric on subarus but I doubt that they are for an FC.

As far as the tires...
I'm looking for some inexpensive z-rated tires, I think the kuhmos will probably be the cheapest.


Thanks,
Efrain

Efrain,

Please indicate if you have a 5 lug or 4 lug boltpattern, or the model of your FC.

Thanks, Rishie
