so are the gt3 out of the line up now?

Pending on prices,I maY SWITCH to a diffrent wheel.

Can someone photoshop the wheels (which I cannot believe someone has not done yet)

boog

ill try to do some photoshop tonight

1 Will 15x7 GT -3's with 18 mm offset work on an SA GS with 225/50-15 tires?
2 How will they change from the normal 40mm to the 18mm?
By a 22mm thicker center (which would add lbs) or by attaching the center to the rim at a different point (increasing the lip)?
3 What will they weigh?
4 What will they cost?
5 How much is shipping to 95315?
I think there are 9 pages of thread and yet these critical things are not known.
I believe that is likely to be why there are not more willing to commit.
I had some wheels custom built once and they did not understand the difference between offset and backspace. The wheels would not work on my application and they would not correct the problem so I sold them to someone who could use them and started all over with a different wheel co.
I do not want to go through that again.

Actually several of these are covered if you read it thoroughly

1. +18mm is stock offset for an RX7, non SE model, check with tire rack on size suggestions.
2. They relocate the center of the rim.
3. Weight of J.SPL is reportedly 11lb, check the Rota website in the first post.
4. Prices are listed several times, they go down if more people order the wheels.
5. Shipping is subjective to weight, and location, do your research then go to UPS.com

Rotary7s

How do you know they are using UPS,and not fed ex,or truck freight?

So why is everyone going with the J.SPL's all of a sudden? Come on!!!

MORE PEOPLE FOR THE GT-3!!!!!!!!!

I really want them

It'll give you an idea of what they should be charging, I'm sure we'll told when its organised, calm down everyone, this guy is just getting us a deal here, jumping all over his *** wont help anything.

QUESTION:
what if one of our dumbasses busts up one of these and needs a replacement in the future?

boog

^^^^might be a good thing to ask rota, maybe that's part of business tho, we come crawling back when a wheel breaks(if it does, i am not saying the wheels or rota are crap, but we would need custom wheels and i dont think we would get a deal again, would we??)

It didnt seem like anyone wanted the gt3's, if 4 people come together for them i will be number 5 but that didnt seem to happen, maybe we should do two threads, one for jspl and one for gt3, if neither get started soon i will do them and try to do some photoshopping

Im not mad just impatient, sorry "rotormotor" your doing your best, you rock
God bless

boog

i made two seperate threads for the leading two wheels(jspl, gt3) i thought we should start a new and get a closer to final count, and give the gt3's yet another chance

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-

Dude, amazing work, no wonder we havent heard from you for a while........lets get this party started, i want wheels...i guess im in for the gt-3's because i love the style better than the j.spl, i just wish more people were into them like the 5 spoke, they are going to get a killer deal.....you should tell rota to give us the gt3's for the same price that they will sell us the j.spl since we're all buying for the same car and pattern...........i would like royal silver finish with polished lip please : ) give us pricing and number of people in tom please, i dont think we should wait any longer because we have been deciding for a while ya know/...................thanks dude

boog

should we get those tuner lugs??? here are some old pics i photoshopped for a friend....these were when the gt3's came out, the lip is decent.....we gotta a lot of christmas jokes out of this car for a while because the car itself was green(second pic shows what i called 'rudolf') ; )

KcKhan

I really like the j.spl wheels, id like to get a set, what info do you need from me? shoot me an email or a pm on here.


I have an 85 gs with stock rims now, so whatever size that would be


hit me back

rotrmotr,

I dont think the offset would change for the 16 in?
Looks like it might look good,I just dont like a flat wheel,which is my concern.
Them fenders are going to need the lips rolled.

I want the GT3,I dont know what color,My car is going to be repainted white,same as the 10th AE.So basically i can do any color,Id even go with that wild *** red.

I have side skirts,front air dam,and a few diffrent wings im going to put on,This si why I want a deeper look.

boog

that makes sense, deep dish is the way to go with alot of body mods like that, i really like the gt-3 and i think they will suit the car well....do you think that the fenders will really have to be rolled with a 15x7' wheel?............

- i think white gt-3's (especially in 16") would look awesome on a white car....or the slightly bronze too

Rotary7s

In this pic,the wheel is flush with the outer fender.Keep in mind you have about 2- 21/2 more inches of tire on top of that,with weight and body roll.

I personally* I will take the time and roll my lips.I just feel its better that way.

What does Rota say for the offset?

rbf41182gt

I think black would look the best on a white car, especially with all the black trim.

Bronze would look cool too, but I haven't seen a whole lot of that.
