I've looked into some new wheels for my 06 S...

Was eying these up...
http://rotawheels.com/svn.php In hyperblack 17x7.5 +45 4x100.

According to SubyDude, they're not available in the states.. however, he CAN get them if we put in an order for 3... they have to be the same size/color. The price would be 650 shipped for a set of 4.

I'm usually trying to not have the same stuff as anyone else so... nobody who lives close to me can get in on this... LOL j/k

Let me know. I'm ready to order now, so the sooner the better!

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

 

if it was a group buy for the d2's id be all over it

 

I just got a response back from Zoeb over at Subydude... they can be ordered in any color (all three sets need to be the same). I need them to be in satin black.. so the group buy will be for satin-black wheels... not the hyper-black.

Thanks!

..what size tires you putting on?....i'm in a quandry....it looks to me like you have to go to a 235/40 in order to get the same rolling radius as the stock 205/45 , 'cause the only tire available in 225/40 is a Hoosier slick.....will a 235 fit on 7.5" wide wheel?.....i think what we really need is a ET43 , 17 x 8.....and, so far the only boys who can supply that are the 3-piece types ($$$)

 

I hadn't made a choice on tires yet... runinng 235's on a 7.5 shouldn't be an issue at all... 235/40's would probably be the tire of choice...

I was running 18x7 +42 Ultraleggera's with 215/40-18's... had to run a bit of neg. camber in the rear so it didn't rub (and a little trimming)... Running a 7.5 +45 should be okay, only 3mm out more than my 18's.

 

Yeah... I was asking the people at subydude for a set of SVN in 17x8 in +45 offset but they just told me they weren't available in 4 x 100. I was looking to get them on the following colors prefered first: Full Royal Sports Bronze, Hyper Black, and Time Attack.

 

weight?

 

They'll fit. Mach V Dan is running 17 x 7.5" Rota RB's on 235/40/17 tires without any issues. He did initially comment that they were 'bulging' a bit, but I think he has since gotten that resolved.

 

Zoeb says ~18lbs.

I've heard of some people scoff at Rota wheels because they're inexpensive, but I've worked with a few sets, and for the money, they're a bargain. They run true, the finish is good, and they usually have great looking designs (some are knock-offs...). They're not going to be as strong as say a forged Volk or SSR, but they also don't cost as much either..hehe.

 

Slowb00st...

I just spoke with Zoeb.. he's good to go if we just order 2 sets...

one in flat black for me
one in royal sports bronze for you...

oh, they'll be 17x7.5

I have to wait a few days here, but let me know if you're in

 

Problem there is the width of 7.5" im looking for 8"

 

Ok, well.. let me know if you reconsider..

Pretty hard to get the SVN's here......

 

slowB00st!!!! Zoeb @ Subidude FTMFW! I can get the black in 17x7.5 and you can get the 17x8 in bronze! Let me know. i can get you Zoebs email!

WOOT!
