ROTA Group Buy
Why wasnt this an option for the USDM Lancers??? Honestly, I wanted Rotas so bad but there were no 17 inch rims with the correct offset/bolt pattern. Great rim at a great price. I know the Subie guys swear by them.....

Definately black wheels are in the works. I think the Torques or Actions in solid flat black would look great.

Might look something like this only in black.
If WORKS Tarmac rims weren't so freakin expensive (699.00 a rim)I'd just buy them from WORKS. However no one wants to spend that kind of money for something that might get messed up at the track.

Well, the initial idea was to have the ROTAs come in 17x9. Why? Well, the stock wheels are 17x8, so from a performance perspective it makes more sense to upgrade to a size that will allow a larger more meaty contact patch. Not a much point in 17x8 unless you just want to make your car look "pretty".
Anyways, if the overwhelming majority wants 17x8, I would imagine that would be what is made in the first batch. I was thinking 17x9 would be more of a useful "upgrade" though....
You guys decide.

. We don't want these just to be pretty. I picked up my car in December and had the dealer install the snow tires onto the stock rims before I left. So, like a lot of people I have a set of new Advan's ready to go onto a new set of summer wheels. That's why everyone wants stock sizes. Personally, I'd definitely buy a set of Subzeros in stock sizes with graphite, steel silver, or black painted centers. I would also consider a set of the Torques in steel silver in the stock size. Anyone else?

It would definetly be good to go with 17x8 due to alot of us come from colder climates. At least I get to use the stock advans and save the rest of the money on important performance mods. I'd get the torques too!
