Default Rota's new wheel

I just saw these wheels rota now offers.



Now i know there will be a lot of rota bashers out there. But i was seriously considering these wheels as a second set. 17" They have offsets that run from 32+ to 48+, width is only offered in 7.5

I am currently running advan RG's 17x7.5f 17x8.5r, but i was looking into another set of wheels for daily driving.

What do you guys think?

I took the breaking into consideration also, but i have had rotas on my civics and never had a problem... Plus if it does break, one wheel is only like $100

Here was the comparison between the rotas and work meister

Those are more a replica of the SSR SP1s than the Works. They do look pretty cool. Try to see if Rota is willing to make a 17x8.5 fitment with around a +55 offset...that'd be nice for the rear.

As far as i know, they don't have any other widths. It would be nice though. And i think they are only avail in 17's. You could still run a staggared tire set up i guess.

Rota does use the same molds for some of thier wheels, the auto-x uses the ssr type x mold. But it doesn't look like they did for these.

I just like that they have the silver center, almost matches silverstone
