Pic Request: FC with Rota Torque wheels



Just as the title says, doesn't have to be this exact wheel. But something close to that style like Sportmax 039s or Work Emotion CRs. Preferably in 17".

Yeah some of their offsets do suck. But these come in +35 so same as the stock FC size.

theyve got the flat face though, no concave = looks like ***.

the 18x9.5's have the awesome concave face.

Soz mate yep that the correct Link

Just pointing out as the wheels are not made in the Uk so iam sure if you can get rota's in the US they can get these size for you , on the uk site they dont list all the offsets but when you call them more offsets are offered , May be worth speaking with your suppliers out there ,

Anywayz here are some pics of MY JDM 180sx with rota GTR 9,5x18 ET15 with 25mm spacers and wide front and flared rear fenders

depends on what you plan to do wiht the car... high priced wheels will help resale the car and improve resalve value.

Cheap wheels would be good enough for track and daily bashing.

But the expensive wheels would push the build quality of the car if you shoot for sponserships, magazine coverage or car shows.

Go with what ever you can afford. Both expensive and cheap wheels have thier benefits.

I dont really like Rota tho or anyone else who has to copy an expensive wheel and sell it cheaper. There are alot of affordible great quality ORIGINAL designed wheels, 5zigen FN01R, Work Emotion CR , MB Motorsports Weapon, and whatever I cant think of.. then at least no one can say you have fake wheels heheh

Yeah I'm looking at Rota because they're cheap and can be replaced easily.
