Rob_B 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Has anyone had any experience with rota wheels? Are they any good? Did they clear or without spacer? Where did you get them from? I'm liking some of the stuff they do but I need some wheels that will fit without spacers as I'm not a massive fan of them. Any help will be much appreciated, Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 10, 2010 Check out herisites thread in the Members Gallery. He bought kevhaywire's Rota wheels... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted April 10, 2010 i've got rota cups on mine - i love them considering the design they are pretty light too mine are 16x8 et35 all round. rears needed spacing 15mm to clear coils. spacers not needed on the front but this year i am gonna space them out just for aesthetic purposes...

Rob_B 0 Posted April 11, 2010 The cups are nice. Was thinking at the slipstreams as I want something simple to clean! I'm running 8x17's now and wanted to go back to 7 or 7.5 inch wide really. Never really sure what et I need to run to avoid using spacers? Where did you get them from? Cheers, Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted April 11, 2010 got mine new from rimstyle... cups are actually fairly easy to clean as long as you invest in a good wheel cleaning brush/poking device :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samaj 0 Posted April 16, 2010 Interetsed in getting the 17" Rota slipstream wheels for my 92 VR6 manual with 5 studs. What are the recommended specs? What is the maximum widths u can go for front & back in stock fenders.? Dont mind a slight stretch on the tires. Offsets? etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big ben 10 Posted May 7, 2010 Herisites do you get any issues with rubbing with that setup ( including with people in the back?) i have the same wheels on mine and have no rubbing issues at all... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 7, 2010 I have standard arches all round and my nearside rear used to catch ever so slightly over big bumps. I think Herisites has rolled his arches, but he has zero rubbing. Following him back after fitting them, his car looks immense from the back, hard as nails 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Herisites do you get any issues with rubbing with that setup ( including with people in the back?) I've not had any issues so far but as Kev said I had my arches rolled back in the days when I had uber wide Brocks on (and they did catch!). I seem to get a bit of rubbing at the front when reversing though with these :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted May 7, 2010 I can't stop thinking about those white Rotas, really make me want to paint my wheels white too LOL (Must resist until everything else is finished though!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No catching over bumps with people in the back though, but like I said I have had the arches done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 7, 2010 Have a look at your inner arches for any signs of girth overload :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samaj 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Looking very smart with the Rota's mate. How much arch rooling is required to have 0 rubbing with those specs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted May 3, 2013 Surprised nobody has mentioned these sorts of photos! Not sure if it's just a quantity thing (they're a huge supplier to the modified car scene so there are more forum complaints), they get abused more than others or just that they're crap though. Certainly not synonymous with quality, which is a shame as some of them are really nice! Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
