I know, I know. They may not be new to some of you, but they are to some others. Just wanted to share some of the pics with you guys.
Racing Pro N1's not sure about the bolt pattern or offset yet..

Gray Rota Slipstreams are only available in 16's, but they do have the right bolt pattern & offset.

What do you guys think? Do you guys like any of these? If anyone wants information on anyone of these please do not hesitate to shoot me an email. I will do all the research I can and locate the best prices.;)
 
I like the last ones too but I'm not sure how that'd look on our cars...then again a friend who has a blue WRX here, just got a set of Volk rims in golden finish(or whatever it's proper name is) and they look pretty good.

Do you know the weights of any of these rims?
 
Weight is a big thing for me. As I got screwed out of some cash lately in a wreck, (not my car) I am looking to be somewhat inexpensive and still drop some weight from the wheels. Least I've found in a good 17x7 so far is 17 pounds. I woulnd't be unhappy dropping 28 pounds just from wheels.
I like pretty much all of the styles, but I'm guessing the Racing Pros would be the best bet for low dough. That or the Rotas. Let us know what you find. I'm still interested if I can get some money scraped together. You can PM me to keep ARD happy. And ARD, if you have some deals, let me know! I'd love to make a deal, and I know that you know what fits!
 
The rotas with a split five spoke. They look really similar to pictures Ive seen of the MP3. How big and how much are they?
 
The Slipstreams weigh in at 13.5lbs for the 16's" which I think is good for the wheel diameter and price.
The Pro Racing N1's weigh in at 17.5lbs for the 17's" which I think is starting to be the average for a 17
The Rota "Battle" tip the scales at 18lbs for the 17's" which isn't bad.
The VOLK GT-N's tip in at a suprisingly hefty 18.5, but if you get those who cares about weight. You'd have some nice Volks. Let me know if there is another info you need. All these wheels with the expection of the Rota Battle which I'm still looking up on, come in 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 45+offset. In other words, yes they'll fit.
 
Ooops, almost forgot to answer your question about the Rota Battle, they should be $650 or $600 for the 17's, but I'm not sure exactly.
 
ARGH!

I'm hating all these "knock" off brands of wheels.

Rota in particular...

I'm sorry, but Spoon SW388s are the baddest rims on the planet - but they aren't pretty. Kinda defeats the point if you go for SlipStreams instead.

Sorry man... had to vent! :)
 
Well, Rotas might be "knocking off" the look or style, but they got the performance value right on. Their durable and light weight for more than half the price of the Spoon ones. So, for those people that can't afford Spoon wheels but still want the performance value and that j-spec look, Rota provides it.

is that 650 for all four rims?
also this is a very stupid question but who makes the rotas?

That's not a stupid question, but I am a little confused by it. Rota's are made by Rota. If you mean who manufacturs the? I have no clue
 
d00d, i called Rota directly 2 months ago and had them pull a 17" rota battle out of the box and weigh it...they said it was like 21-22lbs.
