I am a proud owner of a set of 16" gun metal Rota Slips riding on some 205-50-16 Dunlop FM901. I seem to be feeling a little vibration at around 50 mph. The tire guy said it could be the fact that I don't have a set of center rings. I know lots of EP guys have Rotas. What are your experiences with them in terms of using the center rings?

While I am posting, what lug nuts are good out there?? I have those cheap ass Honda ones which seem to have univeral keys that fit in them. I need some suggestions on a good set preferabily on gun metal.


Suggestions and comments are welcome!

btw: I did search "rota" but didn't come up with much on the above topic. Please don't flame me if this has been cover 10 billion times? Thanks! ;)

You need some for a 56mm hub (they sell them as 56.15mm) and as for the outside diameter I don't know. Call rota and ask them what the diameter of their hub bore is. My motegi are 70mm so i used 72mm rings. Rota might be different.

I think rota uses 67.1, so its really recommended to use a centric ring.

So, if I don't get rings with my new Rota rims, where -- other than eBay -- can I find them?

JustForWheels.com doesn't even list Rota for manufacturers, for example:
