For those of you who like Rota's

If you don't like Rota's please move along, your bashing is unnecessary, thank you.

Rota's new Finish, Titanium Chrome. Enjoy!

Love these Grids.

I haven't seen Rota wheels in person but they look great for the price, I just wish they made them wider instead of stopping at 9'' :\

I used to dislike Rota's, but now I could really care less. I've had several sets of Volks, and currently have SSR's on my FD, but they just keep raising prices to stupid levels. And I get them for barely any markup. lol. I think I'm going to rock some 18x9/18x10 Rota Grids on my FC.

They are good to mount race tires on if you are continuously damaging wheels. I am considering getting another set to mount race tires on and leave my works alone. But in this case enkie rpf1s will be my route. I had the d2s by rota on my mazda3 and they where perfect.

Not if you know where to look.

www.wheeldude.com

If he doesn't have the size your looking for he also does special orders, he has much more of a size range than the rota website states. Also, yes they are great track wheels, just look at the GST motorsports 2.5rs.

He also stocks colors that rota doesn't list, such as yamaha black with candy orange lip: http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/v/..._showId=122149

I'm about to pull the trigger on some Rota DPT's in flat black... I just can't justify spending 4 grand on SSR Type F's right now... maybe someday.

I just ordered a set of gunmetal 15X8 RB's for the 1st gen. My first set of new aftermarket wheels. If they are anywhere near as light as a Panasport I'll be thrilled and for the money you can't go wrong.

Wow thats nuts can't believe he is sold out lol, although Evo owners are big fans of the DPT's so its not too suprising.

I wanted some DPT's for my FC but they just don't come in an offset that would work for an FC, most of them are 17x9+35 which hits the suspension in the front.
