    Where to get Rotas in E30 fitment?

    Does anyone else besides 18racing sell Rota Slipstreams in ET20? Apparently they don't stock the color I'm looking for.

        Talking 15x8 or 16x8? The 15x8's (5x120) had major problems with where the holes were drilled in the hub. I would not run those. More info here:




        The 16x8's (4x100) hold up to track duty pretty well from the people I have talked to (first hand sources mind you). If you want to understand why people are uncomfortable with them read this:



        And then make sure to read this:


        Honestly the best piece of advice I can give is to talk to some people (preferably more than one person) and try to get some real world opinions of the wheels. Talk is cheap on forums.

          I've done a lot of reading on the wheels. They probably won't be seeing much track time. The wheels I want would be 15x8, 4x100 and in bronze. So 18racing is it then?

            This is where most of the DSM people buy their rota's:

            Completa tu look con accesorios tradicionales: cinturones, horquillas, bolsos y calzado diseñados especialmente para usar con hanfu y trajes antiguos.


            They have a wide variety and selection. However Rota isn't real good on keeping everything in stock on their end so finding a particular color / bolt pattern / offset can be a real pain sometimes.

              168racing is custom drilling them exclusively, from what I know.
