Finally I have my Rims

After waiting 5 months my wheels have finally come in. They are Rota P1 flat black with a gold lip. I am very happy with them and I thought I would share.

on with the show

They look AWESOME. Man where did you find them? I called EVERYWHERE and no one in the states sells them in 4x100 as it's a model only sold in the Philippines. How much were they if you don't mind me asking.

thank you all...

I do not know the weight but compared to the enkei wheels they seem light.

I got them from 18racing.com They were $700 shipped. they took so long because they came from the Philippines. And I had Rota paint them with the gold lip rather than the red, for that custom touch

But I am very happy with them.

Looks like there are 12 pcs in stock with Rota. Whether they are in stock here in the states is other thing. Time to call the vendors!!!
Scroll down to the P1 section the 18 x 7.5 , 4 x 100 is the first one listed.

IIRC, the rotawheel.com website is for the US so that means those are in stock here in the states. They likely came with the shipment for AndRew's wheels. That would make this set of wheels a limited run of just 4 sets...

What happened to your color matched fenders? I like the look of your Enkei's also in your gallery but then again I'm 5 star biased

The P-1's that fit our cars are only sold in the Philippines, yes. Other fitments, such as the one for the Subaru's, are readily available here in the states.

The Enkeis met an unfortunate end. The same is true with the color matched fenders. I had a bit of an accident about 5 1/2 months ago. messed up 2 of the 4 real bad and the fender paint was cracking pretty bad too. Although I love the color matched fenders they seemed to chip easy. hard to keep like new.
