Ditto! Looks good! What did you do with the old 17's? Buy one more set and you'll be up there with Adamnquickcivic and Type-X.

I've got three sets now. The 17" Rota Attacks. . .I'm thinking I may save them for winter. . .I may sell them. I haven't decided yet. I actually had a for sale banner in my sig for awhile.

They're a couple lbs. heavier than the Attacks. I'm guessing they're 18 or so.

THanks for the positive feedback.

what's the difference between the ones you got and these?:

are they the same? the spokes on your wheels are even with the
lip... but on the pic they're shown farther in... i'm confusated... :confused:

edit: nevermind :o looks like you got the P1 II Plus wheels...
it just threw me off cuz you labeled them as P1 II...

I'd like to get to a couple meets. Noticed that jdmpwr had started a Midwest Nat'l type meet -- thread. Was waiting to see how that was coming along.

Blanblu, you're absolutely correct. They are they P1 Racing II Plus wheels. Didn't really know there was something so close to it but different.

Positive offset= less rim lip, like Chet's BC wheels

Negative offset= more rim lip....as shown in the picture of the one wheel..

the offset is critical on determining the maximum width the wheel well and fenders allow. Also, this has a big impact on the way the ar handles.....being the wheels center being closer to the inside haveing more rim on the outside, or the opposite, the center being near the outside (positive offset) and having more wheel on the inside....yada yada...it gets complicated...i am stoping here, i am tired and need to go to bed...

LOL:D

yup, blanblu, the first wheel you posted was probably off a rear drive car, maybe the S2000? usually rear drive cars have wheels like that with the negative(or sometimes 0) offset

Yes I did

Phatfreeza--I'd have to say, I like the Attacks. But it was time for something different.

yeah, for that price I imagine all varieties went fast. When I called, about four days or so after the g-buy started. . .They only had one set of the wheels left that I wanted. Got Lucky!!:)
