Rota GB Question Thread

[CFM Forum Support]

With 17" wheels: 42 = rub if your lowered, 45 = rub if you are lowered alot with 7.5" wheel and min 215/45 tire, 48 = perfect pretty much always.

You can extrapolate what that will mean with your given wheel sizes. So if you plan on running an 18" wheel, you'll have to pick your tire size and check the overall width and diameter of that tire. Then compare it to the overall width and diameter of the tire I listed and you will pretty much have your answer as to what will happen. Most likely you wont be able to do anyting more than a 48"


Gun Metal is darker than Steel Grey. Steel Grey is slightly darker than silver.

With a 48 offset, is the wheel gonna sit so far in that it'll look ugly or do plenty of people get a 48 offset? I've got a H&R Cup kit suspension(which lowered my car about 2-3 inches) if anyone would like to tell me which offset I should get.

There's also a charcoal grey, not steel grey, color on Rota's website. Is charcoal grey darker or lighter than gun metal? It's no big deal if no one knows because then I'll just get gun metal. I just wanted to get as close as I could to black without being that dark.

Ok, this is going to be harder than we thought. Below are the few wheels in stock at Rota US that will fit the Focus. Apparently their inventory changes WEEKLY and some models/sizes/colors they don't have in stock all the time.

ATTACK 17x7.5 ET45 4X108 GOLD---4.00
ATTACK 17x7.5 ET45 4X108 RSG---1.00
SDR 17X7.5 ET45 4X108 63.35 STL GRY---1.00
SUBZERO 17X7.5 ET45 4X108 TIT CHRO---4.00

The better news is that they will make just about ANYTHING as long as we order 20 (5 sets) wheels of the same model/size/color/bolt pattern. So you guys are going to have to do some teamwork and decide on a couple different wheels that you ALL like. Remember, same model/size/color/bolt pattern.

Something we're thinking about doing is that if we have enough people for 12 (3 sets) wheels of one model/size/color/bolt pattern then we will order the additional two sets necessary for stock but we must have at least 3 sets sold.

Just found out that custom wheels can take 2-3 months to make depending whether they have the mold and a few other variables. This is by no means as simple as we thought it would be. Many of you have concerns about how soon you will have your wheels. All I can say at this point is that if you must have wheels in less than 3 months that you should look into other options. We really don't want to put anyone in a bind and we don't want to call Rota several times a week to ask for the status of your wheels. If you cannot wait patiently the approximate 2-3 months that it could take to get your wheels then we apologize but we won't be able to help you. Thanks to all for your interest!

Do any of these come in 5x100 bolt pattern? My wife's Golf needs new shoes.

I have 3 Sub-zeros in steel grey w/o the polished lip and would do most anything to get a replacement for the fourth(damaged in accident). You need somebody "disappeared"? Gimme a shout. I wanted white in the last GB but got overruled. You all should consider getting more than a set of 4 since replacement may not be so easy in the future. If you are wondering, in my opinion the Sub-Zero's look better than any wheel I have seen on a ZX-3.....ever.....period.....end of story.....seriously......
So, if there is ANY way I can get a single(maybe 2) steel gray non-polished lip 17" Sub-Zero, you can count me in......I'm totaly serial here...

Is it possible to get the slipstreams (16x7) with a +40mm offset, with only 4x108, not a multilug pattern? I cannot use multilugs with my club for track days.

[CFM Focus]

I'm pretty sure that is possible but it seems this GB is going nowhere due to the 20 IDENTICAL wheel order requirement. We are considering keeping some in stock but there are way to many options and we're afraid we might get stuck with some of these wheels if we choose the wrong color(s) or the demand changes.

[Ray]

20 identical? wow. well, it's probably for the best that i dont spend the money now anyway.

[yf22k]

I plan on a 1.5 inch drop but not sure if these wheels will rub

17x7.5 Rota Grid
4x108
45mm offset
Silver color

I'd be interested though
