ROTA Appreciation Thread

[cronicEP]

Lets see those wheels. Please try to post only pictures to keep the thread clean.

To those of you who do not like replica wheels please don't bash, not all of us have 2 grand to throw at JDM wheels.

[cronicEP]

I'll start it off with a AP1 I photographed at a C&C event.

Rota SVN Flat black, I'm guessing 17/18X7.

I want 16x7 Grids. Hard time deciding between Bronze and Full Royal Sports Bronze. Ack. With red lug nuts. But I don't have a drop. I wonder if it'll look ridiculous (save for coils first?)

(I'm at work, I don't see any photos here >.<)

Won't look any more ridiculous than stock tires with no drop.

Hmm...I was thinking about doing this to my black slips too...but I was leaning towards red h and black caps. Either way, yours does look good.

I have. Im just very curious on how they look on a nhbp ep. I got a good deal on them and i get to decide the size. I just dont know if i should get 16 or 17

Not as low anymore... That was on springs. I'm about an inch higher

Rota Grids
205/45/16 Nexxen N3000 shit tires.
Next set will be some Hankook V12s and after some finishing touches I will be tracking my shit

[blueandgoldep3]

those v12's are great affordable tires man , i have the v2's right now but hopefully my next set of rims will be wrapped on v12's, i wanna buy these konig rims but i need to sell my rotas first

[hyu]

It was either v12s or Yokohama S-drives. Both are about the same price. My autoxing buddies say they love their v12s

[blueandgoldep3]

yea ive had my v2's for at least 30k miles and i still have about 30-35% tread left ... not too shabby at all

[neoamd]

Can anyone recommended a set of 4x100 (02 EP) 17x8 wheels for my EP? I want to run 225-235s all around (yes i will be rolling the fenders) to aid in traction. All I can seem to find is 17x7 4x100 or 17x7.5 x 100 :(

I think those wheels are meant to be rocked on 16 but that's just my opinion.

OOps torques. You're right I was looking up torques for a buddy that wanted to run 18x10s and had got the keywords misplaced

you can order 17x8 +35 4x100 torques, my personal favorite. it'll take a month or so, but our vendors can order them.

i had 17x7.5 +45 w/235/40/17.
