Rota D2

[TaiKneePony]

they are the meister/professor knock-offs. i was checking them out and saw that they come in 9. im hoping to get the origin lab wide front/rear fenders and aggressive kit and was wondering if i ran spacers if itd look/ fit right. it would be better i i ran 9 in the front 10.5 or 11 in the rear but they dont make em that big. advice?:thinking:

[babowc]

no.
just say no.

they will never look right with even the thickest spacer.

dont do it.

yea thats wat i thought. i need something cheap like that thou. it was just a thought. the kit and all is gonna run me about 1700(+-) then paint and install on the rear fenders. sp i dont wanna pay thousands for wheels cuz ill need them soon after the kit cuz 17x7 stock on a wide body will look weird. lol

[shawn shawn]

Get good wheels then kit.... I wish I had gone that route.

[Cameron.]

tru dat. rotas suck.

[J Squared]

yeah what Dori said. Why spend 2 grand on a kit then have wack ass wheels under it?

IMHO, the wheels should be the widest part of the car. If your aggressive aero sticks out past your wheels, it is immediate fail.

Good:

those are immediate sex

[Nisxsz]

rotas>sportmax? or no?

[TaiKneePony]

well i no that if i get that body kit i need at least 9 in the front and 10.5 in the back. and near if not 0 offset. so its just a matter of finding which ones and at a good price.

yea thats kinda why i wanna get the kit first. so i no exactly how big i need to go once it is on. itll look goofy at first but itll look amazing once done and done right. but even b4 the kit i need to get some dents pulled. so thats another reason why i am going to hold off the rims.

[Cameron.]

technically its not about the size of the wheel god dammit. you could have an 8 with -25 offset with a 5 inch lip.

[babowc]

you wont be finding anything you're looking for at a "GOOD" price.

anything those sizes that look good will be upwards of 1.5-2g+

wheels can make or break the car... choose wisely.

[RXXXII]

personally I like a few of the Rota's had some on my old integra. Thinking of getting rota P45R's for mine. LM-GT4 nismo design. Not bad for their money, but has a ton of haters. LOL!

[Memme]

Rotas are for Hondas... if that. Don't. Get AZA Z-2's if'n you're on a budget... go to www.wheelmax.com (http://www.wheelmax.com) for cheap ass packages.

But don't get Z-2's... those are mine.

who said ne thing about lip? i dont care if you have -100 offset a 7 wont look good with the widebody... or at least i dont think so...?lol

yea i no thats the problem. i want nice wheels but cant really afford. used is deff in baller rims for me. but i am still trying to find some knock offs that are the same sizes. if i could thatd be great but if not o well...

dude... the only time you can tell how wide a wheel is is when its off the tire.... tire size is really all that matters.

[revel]

phase2motortrend has 17x9+15s copy of ssr sp1s. the fit quite flush on fronts with no spacer, so throw on a 15mm spacer and you would need wide front fenders or atleast flares to keep them from being all mexi.

[Sydeways]

rotas>sportmax? or no?

no:mad_pirate:

yea so your telling me to run 255 on my current rims (17x7) and itll look good on the widebody?:thinking:

when your riding down the road behind it,even right now, you see this wide lowered car with skinny ass wheels and tires. it doesnt look as beastly as if i had 10s with some camber and strech. thats wat im trying to figure out here... if i could space a 9 out enough in the rear to make it fit right so its not sittin inside the wheel well.

think about wat you say b4 you say it. no hard feelings but some of the stuff you've said makes no sense and is totally irrelavant (?spelling)

[J Squared]

What Cam is saying is that offset will make up for less width, and space the wheel out enough to look good. So, a skinnier wheel will look as good as a wider wheel if the offset is correct. pretty much what you are trying to do with spacers.

I dont agree, but thats what hes saying.

[TaiKneePony]

ok thank you for clearing that up. thats wat i kinda thought, but then the tire thing totally lost me.

[TaiKneePony]

no.
just say no.

they will never look right with even the thickest spacer.

dont do it.
hey are you saying no to rota or no tothe siz and all?

[Memme]

OMG... Just get on wheelmax. If you can't afford the wheels on that site, you can't afford wheels. Rota's are for Hondas... If you put Rota on a 240SX... Seriously... :thinking:

That's why they're so damn narrow... everyone knows it's all about the width.

But like with anything else... it's your car, do what you want... just remember that everyone will laugh at you lol... :p

They've got fat sizes for cheap... I'm getting a set of 18x9.5's for the rear, 18x8.5 front for $165/155 each... and I'll be rocking 275's on the back set... nice and thick.

And I've seen the AZA Z-2's on a S14 and they look hot and they're filled out and flush... GT3 series hot... Mesh sort of BBS LM type knock-offs basically... Although I prefer these to the LM's actually.

9.5" is narrow? you can get the rotas in 18x9.5 +12 offset, and i guarantee they are at least 6lbs lighter than those AZA's.

[C.Ward]

ok just let me know when you have money for your wheels . PM me and ill help you! ZENKI CAM can help you out too. but he is a pussy soo just pm me!

bottles in the cluuuuuuuuuuuub

[afwfjustin]

I don't find anything wrong with Rotas. Despite that we dump thousands into our cars on modifications, the actual price of a 240 is typically around 3 or 4 thousand dollars (on average). Why spend 2K on wheels for it when you can get them for 600 and if one bends you can buy another for 150 bucks? :)

I'm debating whether or not to get the te37 or professor knock offs (grid or d2 respectively).

[babowc]

rota grids are 16"..

[TaiKneePony]

yes^

im getting work vs-xx
18x9.5
18x11

[afwfjustin]

rota grids are 16"..

Good call - didn't know that. Scratch the grids then :)

get me some rims for free with some waffle fries bitch
