they are 450 for a group of 5, the guy rotrmotr talked to said the price will go down more with more people, if everyone here that mentioned they will or might buy there would be about a dozen!!!! keep em coming guys, as soon as rota mails me some wheels so i can mount them we should be good to...i dont think they will make one just yet but i told them +20 or +22 offset would be about right, i can talk to them again but i found a guy on here that said he used to work at a wheel shop and he said +22 was good, he could fit 16x7 in with those specs......stock was +25 i believ and the kosei's were +17 but i think they fit different because the the center of the wheel is pretty deep

ROTRMOTR DID THIS, HE ROCKS!!!!! I CANT BELIEV ALL THAT WORK , that's dedication...now just pm him(find him on the "rota group buy" thread) if you want wheels, check out the pics he did of the moc up wheel too, the j.spls are little narrower so they should fit very well!!! Finally we can get going
Hey Everyone! I just finished trying out my mock-up wheel- it was harder than I thougt but I am glad I did it-
The first mock-up wheel was made to match the specs of a 15x7 (+18mm offset) wheel with 205-50 tires- this setup was too tight on the back of the front wheel- where the tire would touch the stock spring. the front was flush but too close to the fender lip. sorry no pics- the batteries in the digital camera were dead- so I put it to charge for the next setup-
The Second mock-up wheel was made to match the specs of a 15x7 (18mm offset) with 195-50 tires - this setup had more room all around with space for the tire to "give" when turning hard- see pics.
The rear wheel on both setups had more than enough room- see pics
Well- I will post the list of buyers I have tomorrow morning- if you dont see your sig- let me know or if you are interested just PM me your email address & the wheel type (JSPL or GT3) & color- I will contact Rota tomorrow to start things rolling- let me know if you have any questions-

Damn boog, I was getting ready to ask how you got those wheels that fast. lol Do they make the wheels in different colors? Can you get him to make them in like white and a metal finish? Just to see how they would look? Hey do you think he can work his magic on the pic of my car? That might help with other people's decision since they might have the body kit too. Just a thought.

Guys,
If the +18 offset is achieved by a thicker hub, rather than moving the wheel center inward, won't we need longer lug bolts: (+40mm stock offset) minus (+18mm FB offset) = (22mm longer lug bolts reqd)?

most people dont sport the center caps, i saw some on a buddy's gt3 wheel a year ago and they were kinda ugly, stuck out an inch and a half(like old muscle car looK) but these may be different and that's just my opinion but the wheels are supposed to have them.
**here is another style we could ask for i found(just tell rotormotor i guess)
