Looking for Rota D2 style wheels *PIC*

Here is the Rota D2



Problem is that they dont make a 9in wide version.


Does anyone know of a company that makes a knock-off or similar wheel that offers a 17x9?

Or, could I run a 17x8.5 and still run a 255-265 in the rear? Would the same be possible in the front with a 225-245 on a 17x7.5?

The only company that would make a wheel that looks like the Rota D2 is the company that Rota is copying, SSR. That's a replica of the SSR Professor SP-1, and a similar looking wheel is the Work Meister S1. Both SSR and Work make their wheels in basically whatever width you want, with tons of offsets to choose from. You'll actually have to pay decent money for them, though, but if you ask me its worth it.

Ya most of Rota's wheels are knock-off's, but they are nice.

according to the wheel chart posted, you can run a 265 on a 17x8.5 and a 245 on a 7.5 rim.
