~20 lbs, I order the wheels with tires mounted and balanced, so not sure the exact weight. It was a pretty small percentage of increased unsprung mass compared the stock wheels.

I just got my suspension revalved, so I took all the weight measurements recently.

You're obviously aren't worried...?
If Rotas were good enough for the GST time attack suby... they were certainly good enough for me!

I got the wheels/tires/lugs for the same price I could find used CE28s, so it worked out pretty well.

Your car looks great man. I put my g-forces on last week. Rota makes kick *** wheels I've had two sets now over a couple years. Never have had a problem.

Best of luck on the track!

Been thinking about picking up these for a minute now since my tires are rolling over on themselves bad on track (17x8.5 +30 w/ 255/40/17 Nitto NT05)... I think this just made it a deciding factor, thanks!

Also, I noted you took a pic of the front brembo clearance, does not look all that close

Do you need to run hub centric rings with these since the hub bore is 73??

I'm highly considering these wheels right now. What color are they exactly? Flat black?
Yes, flat black.

Yes, you need the hub centric rings. Dan sent me a set when he shipped the wheels/tires/lugs. They worked great and dealt with some extreme heat with no problems.

Just something I had in the closet collecting dust. I'll bust it out to take some pictures of you rocking it at the track... go kart style.

Thank you for the reply. I like the look of these wheels, unlike my RPF1s that really aren't scaled well for the car, but they are light at ~15.5lbs. The 20lb weight rules Rotas out for me, but I'm sure they'll do very well in your application. Best of luck.

SmikeEvo Edit: To all that have a problem - keep it to yourself. These rims are fine.

Move on.

^ Just stay out with this. People have their own opinions we all know this, don't clutter up someone's thread with fake wheel bs.


To the OP,

Car/wheels look great! Can't wait to see a photoshoot or trackshoot.
