Please be serious about this thread. I'm ready to buy, and have cash in hand for a set of light 15" wheels. If this guy can pull it off, then this will be sweet... If you aren't interested or ready to buy, keep your comments to yourself.

jfachner72, the first link to those wheels is sick!!! i would much rather get a group buy on those than anything from rota. But as far as the rotas go, does anyone know if the hardware on the D2's actually holds the wheel together or is it just for show? I know a lot of rims have those on them just for decoration and i think thats stupid.

IMO that'd be a great idea but i doubt they'd take anything into consideration, although they would make a killing.

I love the old school look of the work wheels too, but aren't they like $1200 for a set?

I vote GT-3's or Track-R's, if only one or two kinds are being made in 4x110. Are you guys sure you want 17" wheels on you car? The suspension was designed to work with 13 or 14 inch wheels. I'm even a little skeptical going to 15" wheels. But whatever, do what you want, just my opinion.

Is the offset able to be set to our request along with the 110 pattern, I would love some 0 zero offset rims. Can they do 114.3 in any offset?

IMHO a lot of hijacking going on here, this thread is about Rota rims, anything else should be in another thread. If you want another rim, go make your own enquiries and leave this for those who are interested in these.

If anything id like to see the Konig Rewind come in 4x110, 15x7. It's light, brand new, good offsets. Classic timeless design, pretty much an updated Panasport. I can get in touch with Konig to see if I can get something going if there is enough intrest, somehow I know there will be.

true, i love my 79 limited edition wheels, but they're too small. They do fit the car nicely, and look the part, but there's virtually no performance 13" tires available. Out of all those rota's, I like about two of em.

to TiViD- i don't think the "hardware" actually holds the wheel together, like a 3 piece wheel. The bolts don't go all the way around. not sure though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

btw- what's with everyone wanting the 5 spokes? WAY to common.

If thats the case why are the stock original wheels being sold for next to nothing? 13"s are too small. They are good strong wheels, but for looks.........nah.

oh yeah, i got a question-

the price ($450) is just for the GT-3's, do you know the price for the bigger, more extravagant wheels? Like the *cough* D-2's *cough*

someone should make a poll to see what wheels are in demand. I vote GT-3's or Track-R's. I think they look great on that 240sx, imagine the black ones on a white, lowered SA.
