I have a similar set to the OZ's you posted, with what I believe is a +40 offset. Don't have tires for them yet, but excited to see how they look/fit. They're white now, will be black, they're a little more old school then the OZ's.

Yep, like I said, I'll be going with the "played out" gloss black look.

Hmm. Now I want Wilwoods. I'm really thinking I shouldn't spend anymore money on the car right now as my tranny is on it's way to shep lol.

Have you looked at Enkei RP03, or PF01?

Both pretty nice looking wheels, the PF01's are supposed to be super lightweight and look kind of similar to what you seem to be looking for.

I have a set of RO_JA Formula 5s for sale. They are only 14.5 lbs each and have pretty good tires on them. I will let them go for 650, the wheels alone were almost 500 a piece new.

And if you want big brakes I will sell you my Baer kit, the wheels and the tires for 1100.

Thats a damn steal.

Re: Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?
 

Not a bad deal as long as everything is still in nice shape.

Re: Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?
 

I'm not sure, but based on post #2 in this thread, it would seem like it should work well. My first set of wheels for the dsm are 17x8 +40 and there were no issues. However the tires were only 225's, so who knows what will happen with 255's.

Only 3500 miles on everything, everything is in awesome shape

Re: Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?
 

For about the 100th time, current/updated pics would be nice :)


And I have been eyeing up a TCE/Wilwood kit. Mmmm.

^Get it, needs more $$$

Re: Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?
 

I got me some rotas too. 17x9 +25 on a 1g and it sticks out of my fenders about half an inch to an inch. I don't really mind it.

Pics please!

Re: Thinking about Rotas - Offset Suggestion?
 

I tried on some borrowed shoes from Chris. 17x8 Rota Torques +35 with a 235 tire. They stick out my front fender about 1/2". I really don't like the look. I think a +40 would be nice and flush. BUT. I had enough clearance to side my fingers + Mechanix gloves between my coilover spring seat and the tire. So maybe under 1"? I'm worried a +40 might be too close (with a 245). Maybe I'll have to find out!
