I'm gonna be buying some new wheels today. The safe option would be to replace the inovit with more, but i'm after something different.

If anyone could post a pic of a (preferably black) newage with either:

1) Rota GRA (Gunmetal)
2) Black Inovit PFFs
3) Gunmetal Inovit PFFs

That would help me a lot.

I like the idea of lightweight Rota GRAs, i'm just not sure how they would look. I also like the black PFFs, but with a black car, they just might be too much being ALL black.

Thanks.

Rota GRA's or Inovit Tarmac's are nice if you like that style mate.

I'd go for the Rotas given that you get the lightweight advantage over the Inovits and they look virtually the same.
If you search for a thread I did a while ago - pic request for redlines and tarmacs or gra's I think... you'll find some pics.

Not being a member, the search is not my friend. If you could dig out the link, i'd appreciate it.

53WRX. I am leaning towards the ROTA's due to the lightweight option, but i prefer these, where the spoke extends towards the outer edge of the wheel:





What is the weight difference between the ROTAs vs Inovits??

I think i read somewhere the ROTA's were about 5.4kgs. Anyone confirm?

I have rota torques on both scoobs, rotas are really nice wheels.

Bronze on the Spec D and Gunmetal on the Classic. Nate runs Gunmetal GRA's on his black bug WRX.

The ones in that pic are Rotas mate - if the centre caps are to be believed.

Here's that thread I was on about

GazTheHat

I'd be interested to see those.

I've seen gunmetal redlines now on a black car. Look good.


I'm just wandering whether black on black (steady!) would be too much.

So if anyone has a black newage with either black GRAs or black redlines i would really love to see a picture.

GazTheHat

Liking those tommo, just struggling to picture what they'd look like on a black car.

The easy option would be gun-metal, but for some reason black wheels are pulling me in.

The bad thing is i've gotta decide in the next 1.5 hrs if i'm to get them in time.

GazTheHat

Thanks for the link, still undecided. The pic was just to show i prefer the GRAs over the P1s.

Black on black is the best combination in my opinion. Next time my tyres need replacing i'm after some Rota Torques for mine
Did you order any?

i had rota gra tarmacs fitted to my type R, after 4 weeks the laquer was starting to peel off from around the studs. wasnt impressed with them at all, mine were gunmetal with polished face.

How about throwing these into the mix. On a black car they look awesome.

I will probably be going this route.

Heres my Inovit Redlines in Carbon Black!

GazTheHat

Thanks for the extra pictures guys. Some lovely motors there.

I know you don't probably wish, but i wish your car was black wulsey. That would really help me make up my mind if black wheels would be too much on a black car.


Does anyone know the weight of the Inovits?


I'm not really a fan of the rota's design, but i'm considering them because of the lightweight option. If there's hardly anything in it, then my choice gets easier. Gunmetal or black inovits.

(The gold rotas on white of powerwrx does look flash)

GazTheHat

I couldn't picture the black on black, so i've gone for gun-metal. And the make.....

Rota GRAs 18"

With some more T1-Rs. Will be with me on Friday. I take it the ROTAs go straight on and don't require a fitting kit?

Also, not like i know what it is, but the ET, what should that be??


NCB Motorsport did me a great deal on wheels and tyres and commented that he would also do preferential rate for other Scoobynet members.
