Default Alloy Wheel Group Buy

OK - I know quite a few of you were interested in this when S6OOB_DC started his thread. Unfortunately his group buy has not come about.

SO....I have spoken with Julian at RareRims who is the sole UK distributor of ROTA wheels and he is willing to give us lucky people a group buy discount


I am currently awaiting to here from him on prices and how it will work but he is definitely keen on it happening.

As soon as I know prices and discounts I will post up on here. Hopefully later today.

Please can we start a list of names of who is interested in what wheel / tire size if required / PCD / colour etc.....whatever defines the wheel basically.

Am sure he would be open to non-Subaru fitments also.

Depends on price, some cracking deals around at the moment on other wheels. Julien is pretty generous already to SNetters who ring up and order, so would need to be tempting to hang around for numbers

I think its usually just a red lip or polished lip. If you have seen them with a blue lip advertised then im sure he would get them if available.
Best bet is to give him a ring.

Ok these wheels are available in a 5 x 100mm PCD and an offset of 48 which I believe is the correct offset for Subaru (I will not be held responsible for incorrect information here, I am open to someone telling me that the information is incorrect or if other fitments / offsets will fit.

Boost 17x7.5
Formula 18x8
GRA 17x7.5 & 18x7.5
Grid 17x7.5
P1 18x8
SDR 17x7.5
Slipstream 17x8
Subzero 17x7.5 & 18x7.5
Torque 17x7.5 & 18x8

There may well be more but your best bet is to contact RareRims direct to confirm.

if I'm not mistaken I think Rotas are only available in et35 or et45.

Also can you confirm with the supplier if the 17x8 will fit a classic without any rubbing issues. Cheers

Youll have to cross reference with the list above to see if these come in Subaru fitments though.

Still dont have a price although am trying obviously.

The PCD of 100mm does not fit the Hawkeye STi which is 114.3mm.

Do we have any GB choices on wheels that suit this model of impreza?

Cheers

Ok I am basing this on a 48 offset still but with a 114 PCD.......if any different let me know and ill update!

Again this is from the literature I have and more fitments are available all the time. Check the website for more details if needs be


Boost 17x7.5
Circuit 10 16x7 & 17 x 7.5 (in both a 100 & 114 pcd)
GRA 17x7.5 & 18x7.5
Grid 17x7.5
P1 18x8
REV 17x7.5 (Offset 45)
Slipstream 17x8 17x8.5
Subzero 17x7.5 & 18x7.5
Torque 17x7.5 & 18x8

Please also note that all the drift wheels are available in a 114 PCD but the offsets are usually lower than standard. A call to Julian will confirm fitment for wheels to cars if you have specific requirements.

Cheers
