Has wheeldude posted anywhere else about them? Any information on the weights of the 17x9? To many questions and not enough answers. Someone post some pics.....

I'm interested in these too. I think the 18x9's are probably too big for daily driving around LA unless I want to damage them on our roads.

Can you please keep that **** to yourself. The first picture is the result of a 350z smashing into a ROCK embankment on a mountain road. That will break ANY wheel.

Let's see some pictures of your wheels.

I'm usually a big advocate of buying authentic wheels to support the manufacturer, but all this rota bashing **** is getting old. There are time attack cars that are way faster than any car owned by probably anyone posting in this thread running ROTAS.

i don't know anyone personally that it's happened to, but i've seen it a few times on the forums.
I got a 18x9 g-force setup with 275 tire, Im trying to go wider i have more room between the rims and coilovers im not sure what rota wheels to put on that are 18x9.5 so i can fit like a 285 tire. I like the roat dpt in 18x9.5 but it looks like it would stick out more than the rota g-force wheels. I need a set of rotas that go in more. So i can fit a wider tire.

what's the weight on 17x9.5? Are they strong enough for track abuse?

i dont think +25 would give it that much concave. if they were +15 i think they would look much better
