Anyone try Rota wheels?
Anyone here running Rota wheels on their G? They are pretty popular on Subarus, not a top-flight wheel but decent. I tried to search "Rota" here but got no hits. I think any of these wheels would look badass. They make 18x9.5 in offsets +20, 25, 28, 30, 35 (I have no idea which would work on the G). I know most of you guys prob run 19 or 20 though.

Just curious.

Grant rocked Rotas for a little and didn't have any problems. Great track wheels though, not for DD.

those and sevas are 2 to stay away from (although sevas went out of business w/ me stuck with them lol) There are some good and bad stories for both companies.. I've been running sevas for a year w/o problems *knocks on wood*

i got some XXR wheels on my 98 240sx and they are great!!! i i think XXR and Rotas are the same as in being "cheap" knock-off designs but the wheels themselves great. i have hit nasty pot holes and nothing, in-fact i had some oem 17" 350z wheels and i bent it in a smallish pot hole.

Rotas are great wheels for their prices. Most the people that bad mouth them have no real experience with them.

Take those pics with a grain of salt, none of them include the story behind them

True. All those pics could be from collisions or hitting curbs at 50mph.

lol Im rocking 18x9's on my Suby but I dont think Rota offers any wheels in our fitment. If we got enough people, Im sure they would make some though. Id love to rock some 19x10 deep concave g-forces in the rear. Check out www.wheeldude.com

They make enough wheels in our offsets
I have used 2 diff sets of Rotas .
I have tracked with both sets and felt completely safe.
I have also used them for daily driving.

Would these fit? Maybe a fender roll in the rear?
