Yep, yep. Do a search on "ADR" and "Konig". You'd be surprised at the amount of cheap ******* here that put crap like that on their FDs!

I generally don't like knock-off wheels, but the Rota wheels are pretty good wheels in general. They are light, reasonably strong, and the finish is durable all at a very good price. I would consider the 17x8.5 ones that are available now for use on an FD.

I run rotas on my WRX daily driver. Good wheels for the money (heck, they were cheaper than the tires!). As Max said, they're pretty light and durable. I've had no problems with nicks, scratches or other finish issues at all. In fact, my Volks on the FD are in worse shape than the rotas, although that isn't entirely fair since I've had the volks for 3 or 4 years, and the rotas for only one. But no complaints so far.

You probably aren't likely to find any. These wheels are cheap and mass produced, generally in limited sizes that suit most popular modern cars(a large part of what keeps the cost down).

I will be doing a GB on some of the P45F and R wheels from Rota for the FD.

18x8.5 and 9.5. They are pretty nice looking wheels. THe other wheel I could do for you is the Rota D2 in

17x8.5 for the FD all the way around. I work with Rota a lot on other vehicle apps to produce custom fitments exclusively for us so please feel free to let me know.
