The truth about Rota Torques...

The truth is that they weigh 19.4 pounds each. (Not 17 pounds like some vendors claim. But still almost two pounds lighter than stock...)

Now in stock in Hyper Black, Charcoal Gray, and Bronze. 17 x 8, perfect Evo fitment. Great for some winter wheels!

Left to right: Hyper Black, Charcoal Gray, Bronze


I really like the deep center:

If they weighed 19.4 lbs each, why would the shipping label say 18 lbs on each box? I don't think shipping companies like getting ripped off. I put one of the rims on a scale before I mounted it and the scale read a little under 18 lbs. Where are you getting the 19.4 lbs figure from?

Shipping and handling will be extra; add them to your cart and begin the checkout process to get a shipping quote.

Honestly - the hyperblack would look best IMHO. I had gunmetal P1's on my WRX and it looks awesome. The royal bronze aren't "gold" enough.

And I think I've made my wheel decision - if only they came in 18".

Not at this time.

We do stock a limited quanity, and Rota isn't historically very good at keeping wheels in stock, so we may run out. Buy soon!

Can you quote me a shipped price to 62040 for the HyperBlack?? Wish I could get 18's....

Any problems using these for summer rims and putting on sticky tread and going to the track??
