https://youtu.be/pOtmoOQShy0 I need these wheels! I need that fitment on my 07 hawk STI UK. I’m sticking with 225/40/18...
Anyone with knowledge, what specs are required to clear brembos without requiring spacers and/or rolling. I need that exact fitment. Thanks!

I actually sanded down and sprayed my wheel after I got too close to a kerb and it looks fine but it’s easily done. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing it needed doing so I got it done in a day. White on white is easy but I’m guessing colour matching specific wheels will be harder.

How heavy are the wheels. I know I sound like a party bore lol.
I remember years ago we used to get discount on rota wheels. Don't think thats the case any more.

Im running rota force 18×8.5 et 48 with 225/40 tyres, clear brembo's no problem, as been said earlier the spokes do stick out and could easily catch a high kerb, i actually picked mine up from Ruislip tyres coz that were the only place local ish to me that had them on display and i wanted to see them in the flesh so to speak, i think the guy from there is a member on here or used to be.

I did have a quick search for the rotas but couldn't find their weight. Was more of out interest than anything else
Remember for every Kg you save at the wheels its like you have saved double that else where on the car

Based on what I have found Rotas are 9.98KG and OZs are 8.66KG. That to me is a significant difference in weight for the same size wheel. Not trying to turn this into a waving contest but the wheel weight would be a serious consideration on a performance car (but then we don't always do it for performance lol). If its the style that you like perhaps look at another brand that does a similar design but at a lower weight

I try to go lighter with. Had OZ Ultraleggras and they are about 6.53kg.

Hey nossy can I ask why you got rid of the ultralegeras? I'm thinking of them for mine

Personally I quite liked the design on the Ultraleggras. Some say they are more of a euro wheel rather than JDM. A mate had a set on his Clio 197 too.
What colour were you thinking of going for and what size.

Previous owner had the wheels powder coated but the company did a really bad job considering they were almost £800 to do the colour. It started flaking on the inside where the tyre goes. I had a set of Ultralite Atecs, refurb job on them was much better.

Thats what my car looked like with the Ultraleggras on. Don't have any side shots sorry.
Picture looks a bit funny tried sorting out the colours but looks like it has a load of filters on instead.
I looked up the weight of the atecs and they were 5.5kg on their website but when I took the wheels off I'm sure they were stamped 5kg. However when you go on the site now they come up 8.9kg. I'm sure they weren't that heavy
Wheel weights seem to be all over the place, looked up another wheel that is really light and the official website says they are 35kg. Spoke design will also play a part in brake clearance. I was running 6 pots under the ultraleggras.

Are Rota wheels good quality? It seems they are low middle range if not mistaken. Not seen any in the flesh but quite like the SS10s now. I'm comparing with OZ or Enkei in general.

You do realise you drive a Subaru , joking aside i know what you mean but some of the Bola designs are ok as
far as i can see, google Rota wheels cracked, all sorts of horror images to go at, they're a cast wheel, at least some
of the Bola range are forged.
