Thanks!

soo you would be able to get custom sizes? on say the torques in like 16x7?

**belacyrf** · 04-03-2006, 06:51 PM

Just FYI... (and for fear of putting words in CFM's mouth)
I sincerely doubt he will be able to get custom sizes or custom offsets.
Rota is not going to make new molds.

More than likely you need to choose from existing molds, existing colors, and existing sizes. The place where you get to be creative is the the hole location. As long as the wheel has enough meat to deliver a requested bolt-pattern you should be good.

If CFM has a hook-up for Rota to actually alter the molds I would be extremely surprised.

**Dukman** · 04-03-2006, 06:54 PM

Where can I get an idea as to pricing.

I found on hint in the GB thread, and have poked all over the ROTA website for prices.

I am interested really, but alot of it depends on the pricing.

**belacyrf** · 04-03-2006, 06:58 PM

For me I'm good if the pricing is retail for those wheels that we can't seem to get in our bolt pattern

**CFM Focus** · 04-03-2006, 06:59 PM

From what I understood, the man at Rota said they can make any wheel in 4x108 but the offset is normally 45mm. I'm still waiting on their price list. As soon as it gets here I will start quoting prices.

**frocus** · 04-03-2006, 07:23 PM

yea i have heard them do it on other forums but it can take up from 2-6 months

just wanted to make sure....anybody have a list of weights of the wheels?

edit:It looks like the torques way around 15lbs for a 16"

**CrUziN4L** · 04-03-2006, 07:30 PM

can someone get us a listing of the colors (maybe with just one style showing all the colors) ?

**frocus** · 04-03-2006, 08:10 PM

thats most of the colors :shrug:

**frocus** · 04-03-2006, 08:22 PM

attacks are bleh/boring IMO sry

**FocuZ_Freek_XxX** · 04-03-2006, 08:24 PM

**omnipotentzx3** · 04-03-2006, 10:17 PM

I believe the colors w/ the polished lip are called royal. i.e royal gun metallic/ royal black. I would like to see the rota grids, 17x7, in a full royal sports bronze TE37 style. Or the attacks in a royal gold 17x7.

no because mine are royal steel grey and theres no lip. just a clearcoat on the wheel

**sleeperlove** · 04-04-2006, 12:03 AM

ANY guestimate on pricing?

Every Rota Wheel looks like another wheel

**CFM Focus** · 04-05-2006, 11:32 AM

Are those fair prices?

**CCC** · 04-05-2006, 12:12 PM

Does anyone know if a 17x8 will fit under a stockbodied SVT? Specifically asking about the Boost...do they have a smaller width?

Yep. I'm good.

Do we have to buy in sets of four or can I get a spare one (or two) too?

To two too!

Definate rubbing issues. At stock ride height you might be able to pull it off. It's really going to depend on the offset. You will need a minimum +45 offset probably even a +42 or more.

Also remember an 8" wheel will only work with a minimum 225 tire.

And those are excellent prices:
They are less than normal retail (even if only by a couple bucks). But the fact that you're going to be able to get wheels that nobody has is a good thing

**Reza** · 04-05-2006, 02:03 PM

so can we order these how about the offset?

Nevermind. Recently found out these only come in an 18mm offset and that will not work.

**CrUziN4L** · 04-05-2006, 04:32 PM

what should i do??

do you think 17inch ROTA Subzero's would look better on my black ZX3:

in straight Silver to keep the look of my 18''s in this picture...

...or Silver with a polished lip?

Thanks for your input.
