Rota Wheels - Are They Any Good
 

Hi All,

Just about to upgrade the wheels on my 2004 UK STI, I want something with a fairly aggressive offset so that the arches are nicely filled.

I was going to go for a set of Prodrive PFF7s but after seeing some of the Rota wheels I am tempted to buy some.

So questions . . . . . .

Are the any good in terms of quality

What is the best offset to get the arches nicely filled out ?
I want go 18s but not sure on offset or width, I was thinking about 8.5" as I think 9"s are probably a little too wide.

What do you all think?

Kind Regards

Chris

Hi Chris i can only recommend ROTA,we are running aggressive offset(9.5JX18" ET38) on our wagon.

Quality is spot on and really we never have any issue with them.

About the offset and width,do you running the coilovers?

For fairly aggressive offset(ET38) you will need run the coilovers or camber bolts.For best advice i would contact here Mags@RTS https://www.scoobynet.com/member.php?u=35589,he is dealer of Rota and he still give us best price,service and advice

Hi sorry to jump on thread but would the rotas fit on your car Jura11 fit over brembos? As I'm in the market for new rims and coilovers

Hi there we are running the K-sport 8pots 356mm at front and at rear we are running the K-sport 6pots 330mm and i think those Rota will fit over Brembo

To the OP, these are 8x18 (et48) with 235/40 tyres. I've added 12mm spacers at the rear.

I would look to go no more than 8.5" or ET34 to fill the arches if you wanted a normal/chunky tyre fitment, but with enough camber and arch rolling you can fit 9.5" with stretched tyres. For the best advice speak to Maggy in RTS (details in the trader area) and he can even supply the wheels and tyres at a good price:thumb:

O.P-I have Rota Grid Drift on my 2005 blob STI,18 X 8.5,ET35,lowered 25 mm front,15mm rear on BC coilovers,225/40/18 tyres-no clearance problems whatsoever,highly recommended wheels,fill the arches just right imo

I had Rota grids 9.5x18's et35 and they hit my Brembo's with Performance friction disks

Rota Fighters Drift 9x18's et20

Anger,

What suspension are you using and what tyre.sizes are you running as that is the look I am after?

Many thanks

Tein Super Streets with 235/40/18

they do fit over brembos with a 3mm spacer

They will look good on my car boy.

OP,

ROTA wheels are very strong. The finish of them are top dollar too.

I run 18 x 7.5 Rota GRA's with standard suspension and they are almost 3kg lighter than the standard 17" WRX wheels..... Nice quality and finish too. Pic here:
