New Rota DPTs for my Track Setup

Big Thanks goes to Dan at wheeldude.com for hooking me up with my new track wheels and tires. Everything arrived flawlessly and the whole transaction was very professional.

Rota DPT 17x9 +35 with 255/40/17 NT01s. Deevo Lugs
Lowered on Ohlin DFVs as low as I can go with still being able to get the jack under without driving up on a piece of wood first.

-3 degrees camber in the front, about -1.6 degrees in the rear.

Camera was a Nikon D200.

Looks nice!!

How do the Rota's compare to NT03+m's in terms of weight?
(assuming close to similar size; 17x9+35 Rota vs 17x9.5+38 Enkei)

Nice! I have an Apex Evo and thinking about powder coating my wheels black and wondered how it would look.

Looks great man!
I'm highly considering these wheels right now. What color are they exactly? Flat black?

No way he should worry. Theyre great wheels. Its people like you with 3 posts giving them a bad rep without reason. OP I got these recently and theyre superlight. Youll surely love them as much as everyone else with them. Especially with the 255's. Hopefully the more people performing with these will end the discouragement of internet hear-sayers.

I gained 5lbs per corner from stock BBS wheels with 40% tread left on some 235/45/17 Dunlop Z1s. Not to bad considering the wider wheels/tires and the killer price.
