The Torque is only available for the Subaru guys for now, no plans to produce them in a 4 lug.

Rota does however have the GT3 (GAB Replica) coming out later this week. We have a few sets on preorder. Available in 16" steel gray w/ polished lip, red w/ polished lip in 4x100 and 5x114.3 40mm offset.

I feel bad for GAB owners when this wheel is out. They spend all that money and time finding the GABs, only to find out Rota comes out with fakes. And in a couple of months, every single "JDM"-bandwaggoner will have em.

Rota is also making a Mugen M7 knockoff. Talk about impossible to find wheels. Rota is awesome. They make some nice knock offs and is affordable but nothing is like the real thing baby...the real thing yeah...:D(Burger King commercial)


Urban-imports....do they have the GAB knockoffs in 15x7?

The GT3 will be available in 15" in May I believe but only 15x6.5.

Rota is awesome. I believe they buy 1 of each high end wheel and copy them down to the exact spec. At least in the looks department. Again, nothing is like the quality of the original.
