Couple of things worth knowing if you are buying Rotas (I had some tarmac 2's), you will need new wheel nuts/locking wheel nuts, they use a diff taper to the OE subaru ones. Be sure the wheel nuts you get give enough clearance in the recesses, mine didn't and it was near impossible to get the nuts on without scuffing the recesses with the socket. On the Tarmac 2 you really need nuts with a smaller head than the standard (19mm?) head, not sure about other Rota styles. Standard centre caps I got were pretty nasty, there are nice flat ones available, but most seem to come with fake carbon fibre cones, so check with the supplier which ones you are getting and that you like them...

SUBYDUDE is the greatest. I have recently moved here from the states and i had a set of rota attacks for track days. they are light, 17 lbs for 17's if i remember correct. I have since cracked one but it was a nasty pothole that any normal person would have seen 500 yards away.(my friend was driving)

Highly recommended

which reminds me, I have three steel grey rota attacks if anyone finds a fourth.
