15 x 8 Rotas $525 shipped

[2002maniac]

The more I think about it, I really hate those oval holes. I like the slips otherwise, heck I just want 15x8's!! But the oval holes would be a deal breaker, because of strength concerns. The smaller pic above looks better to me also, in fact that would be my first choice now.

Like Herb said, because these are custom cast wheels, they will be drilled to 4x100 only. no other holes that I am aware of.

AND WE ONLY NEED FIVE FOR THE GB TO BE A GO :) :) :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said this a while back and nobody seemed to care. I'm in if there are enough people to make this happen.

Sounds good. I am just concerned because the oval holes seem to be a part of the style of the wheel, not additional lug holes. I understand they will not be double drilled. I don't mean to be a pain in the ass about this, but it's important to me that they not have the oval holes.

I said this a while back and nobody seemed to care.

There seems to be a little confusion coming from 18racing, I was told by Jessica that because it was a custom casting that we would need 10. I'm very happy to hear it will only be 5!

We haven't stated a color yet for this GB - what's the consensus?

I personally don't want black at all - only silver or very slightly darker than silver.

Personally I'd prefrer Flat Black, brakes dust like Mt St. Hellens and I dd/autox the car, so hide the dust for a month then rinse and repeat. But as stated before I'm up for whatever, the darker silver or the like would look kool.

okay okay.. now someone convince me why I need these rotas rather than the gold bbs I was going to buy used. I understand this is a great deal.. but sweeten it for me.

Convince me today and you'll probably get another name on the list.

[Brian D]

Well. they're light and strong, which is good for track use, they're 8 inches wide, so they'll support a 225 tire correctly, and they'll be uncommon, so you'll be special!

Seriously, I just don't understand the lack of interest in these.

[Herb]

Do the BBS weigh less than 15lbs? No more need to expoud.

[schmidty]

I might be in. Im looking at a used set of TSW Hockenheim right now but the guy is takin forever to send me pics and such. So if I don't hear anything from him by the time a 5th person is in then I'll get the Slipstreams. I would also prefer a flat black

My vote is for Rota Grids - the wheels that look like Volk TE37's.

Anyone agree?
