Soon to be released Rota wheels.

Still dont look like there'd be clearance for nissan brake upgrades

They might fit. I noticed my friends Panasports spokes had clearance, possibly enough. Maybe using the Mazda MPV disc and Z32 caliper. I will be trying it for my '82 Ltype MA6x. If that doesn't work then later Z31 caliper with MPV disc.

that's just USD$550 inc. shipping for 4 rims?

Four 15x8 rims shipped within the US. OZ members will need to find a supplier locally.

I'm sure the 16" and 17" wheels will be slightly more. Using 15" as a baseline.

rsdeo:
Are these wheels to be made in 17" ? as it only says 16" on the web site.

Have you got some info thats not up on their site yet ?

Info from US distributor, who sent me the pic and specs.

mmmmm those 15x8's in the +12 will go perfect on my new drift hack...

now to find an aussie distributor

[Julz01]

there is a trader on ae86dc that can get the rota wheels in, he has them advertised at the moment

[hamgatan]

no need to find an aussie distributor, ive actually been liasing with Rota direct in the philippines in relation to these horny jobbies ->



theyre going to set me back 700 usd + they seem to think shipping will be around 300 usd. theyre really flexible and make a crapload of different offsets, so theres quite a bit of choice. they'll deal direct to the public, so no worries with finding a disty.

if you need to email them directly their address is [email protected]

i got a 24hr turnaround time response from them.

[MR 1JZ]

Hi guys,

Are they ADR compliant?

From the ADRs.Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 42/04 – General Safety Requirements) 2005

25. TYRE AND RIM SELECTION
25.1. Tyres and rims recommended for passenger cars must be listed in the Tyre and Rim Standards Manual published by either the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia, the (US) Tire and Rim Association Inc. Year Book, the Japan Automobile Tire Manufacturers Association Year Book, the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS-D4202) “Dimensions of Tires” and (JIS-D4218) “Contours of Rims”, or the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (E.T.R.T.O.) Data Book.

However they would make a very nice race wheel especially due to the various off-sets and widths I can make use of, of course I also await, weights as a deciding factor.

Regards

Rodger

Those ones that Hamgatan is looking at are HEAVY. 17x8.5 is 12 Kg I believe.

[hamgatan]

yeah ive been looking at the royal black stacker preset pack for the SW20...

5x114.3 - 17x7.5 front + 25 / 17x8.5 rear +25 .... not sure of the weight though.

I've seen this model wheel in person. Nice, but the spokes sit almost flush with the rim lip.





Good thing is Z32 calipers fit with ease.

Rota also offers their Grid in 16 x 8.0 +10/+20 4h x 114.3 and 16 x 8.0 +10/+20 5h x 114.3.

Journey in 18 x 9.0 +15 4h x 100, 18 x 9.0 +15 4h x 114.3 and 18 x 9.0 +15 5h x 114.3.

mmmmmmmmmm

magic mitch can keep his konig rewinds i want rota wheels

nice wheels

pretty keen just not now

[oldcorollas]

bah, no 6" no care....

they're not catering for the under 800kg class of vehicles boo hoo...

are they actually 2 piece? or dressed up 1 piece?
if 2 piece, those centres be good for calipers.. if other outers can be fitted..

My r31 strut / z31 hub / r32 disc & caliper setup is cleared by my 16x7 rs-8s no worries

[RONA]

I think the target market for that wheel would be running 205-215's on an 8 inch rim for that stretched look. There are definately good tyres in those sizes.

225/50/16's ftw, would make nice track rims for the supra if they cleared the big brakes and were available in a gun metal grey.
