Rota grids and fighters
Right, before we start I am an adult, I know how to make an informed decision. Don't bother posting pictures of cracked rotas or telling me they're substandard.
I've been looking at the grids but can't seem to find them staggered. Are they available from the states or not even manufactured?
What are the relative pros and cons of running staggered tyre sizes on same size rims beyond potential sidewall flexing on the rears? Genuine user feedback would be good, especially track experience.
I understand the fighters are available staggered but I prefer the look of the grids but which are the lightest?

I had Grids for 3yrs recently changes to Force. Both the same ET45 offset.
All wheels are/were 17x7.5 and I run RE050As 215 45 17 front and 225 45 17 on the rear.
Feels fine to me, well balanced on road and track. Also I would argue its better in the wet with the slightly narrower rear tyres.

Oh god the stupid photo's.
Ring Julian or Kev at Rare Rims, they will give you all the advice you need and the best price.
They are the main importers and anyone else who sells them buy from them.

In my Quest for Torques I found any dealer in Europe\UK (Inc. Rare Rims) utterly useless and did not respond to emails.
Could not find the colour I wanted for ages so I got them shipped from the US. Big difference from the stock 16"s and have held up fine so far.

Nothing wrong with rota's, got them red hot at croft, taking corners at over a ton, with no issues at all.
STAGGERED 17" ROTA TORQUES ARE THE BEST WHEEL FOR THE S, FOR THE MONEY

I'd never even heard of Rota wheels before this thread, but there are a lot of photos of them
