They also sell forged aluminum lug nuts 16 for $39 but I think they are strictly for racing?

well what's the color of your car?

mine's white, and I'm going with the gt-3's in black. Bronze would look good too.
on a red car, I think gold or black would look awesome.
on a blue car, silver or gold

ahh!!! can't wait! what tires are you getting? I'm thinking the kumho excta MX in 205-50-15

Is this a group buy going on or no? I'm just uncertain because the first post seemed like it was asking for suggestions on what wheel to buy.

If it it a GB, count me in for a set of D2's.... and LMK whom I should pay, when, and how much. Thanks guys.

yeah, it's a group buy type deal. Apparently, ROTA is going to make wheels to fit our bolt pattern if we can get 5 or more orders of one kind of wheel. The original puspose of this thread was to see who was intrested in what. The D-2's don't really have a following anymore, but it looks were going through with the GT-3's and J.SPL's

^^ Great - thanks for the info. Just to clarify, they are drilling blanks specifically to fit the 4x110 pattern we have? That's VERY cool of them!

If there's not enough interest on the D-2's, I'll go with everyone else on the GT-3's. Same thing applies - let me know whom I'm paying and when.

i don't know if it's too late, he might have already sent out the order. I think they're around $400-450 for a set

Hey Guys I apologize for not getting back earlier- hectic week at work- since I sit behind the computer at work- 10+ hrs in front of my computer screen- my eyes will shut down if I just look at the TV at home.

I spoke eith Rota today- he is making a call to the factory tomorrow to find out the results as far as pricing & lead time- I also asked if its ok to add more buyers- its no problem since the final OK has not been given yet- new buyers are:

KCKHAN - JSPL with black center
SGIELDON - JSPL with Gun metallic center
ROTARY7S - GT3 with black center

& TIMMYBIGHANDS please let me know if you are serious about the GT3 wheels & in what color?

Thanks all for your patience- the time is almost near!

rotrmotr... I'm sorry. I just picked up a set of 15*7 Enkei rims tonight. I wish I had known more about these beforehand - I would love to have helped out with the GB. GL getting the rest together.
