Default Opinions please....

Wanted a set of Inovit STVI's in Gunmetal for my car but can't get them anywhere in 17", not even in multi-fit which i didn't want anyway. So have now been looking at Rota's and there are a few i like the look of:

Grid in Bronze (similar to the STVI's, don't seem to be available in Gunmetal)


Boost in Gunmetal


Force (which only seem to be available in White at the moment)


Torque (not sure about these)

Out of those i'd choose the Torques. I recently got some Rota GRAs, think they lOOk stunning. Giving a jap-racer style look....dark on dark. No way i'm cleaning my wheels twice a week like the white-wheel club.

Grids are only available in Bronze, White or G/M with a Polished lip. Not sure about Bronze and don't want the other 2.

No not much help Si, leaning towards the Boost or Force in G/M at the mo.

i like the rotas but the 18" size puts me off,the best thing to do is be patient and wait for a set of speedline st2's to turn up on here or or ebay and pounce on them.

The grids are very similar to the Ultralite A-tec which being a jap style rim look stunning, force and Torque are both nice as well.

On a blue car I'd go for tried and tested gold Rev's
A classic time less wheel easy to clean, and the colour combo is spot on. Some would say that blue and gold is so yesterday but which ever way you look at it you cant deny it works.

It would be Force for me for first choice then the Grid , infact i may take a closer look at these in the distant future.

Torque are more suited to the evo i would say.

Update...

Force are only in stock in 8J which i think will be to wide and require the archs to be rolled
Grids apprantly there none 17" impreza fit in the UK at all.
Boost i can get in Gunmetal
Torque's i haven't enquired about.

So looks like it's Gumetal Boost's or Gold Milleniums
