I HATE 5x114.3!

I found this steal on BuddyClub wheels, but they are +35mm offset, which probably doesn't fit (even with spacers).

well assuming the wheels are 17x7 th offset is off by 10 if you run 215 tires, if its 17x7.5 its off by 13

I find the offset is more annoying than the lug pattern.

spacers won't help you here. it will make it worse.

I have wheels in stock that will fit both the sedan and wagon. I think we have three different styles in stock. I simply haven't been getting on the net as we don't have internet at the shop yet. I'm waiting for the service.

My apologies. WE shut down major operations almost two months ago. We're going thru a huge transistional period.

Thanks, Rishie

rishie, could you PM me price on 17" wheels and tires???i'm looking at getting the konig holes with kuhmo 712 for 940 bucks shipped, thanx rishie.

Out of curiousity, do you have 17" gold Actions?

I will find out from Rota, however it's very doubtful. They are mostly stocking the 100 patterns. The problem is that you guys are looking at the wrong manufacturer. I agree they make awesome inexpensive wheels. But i believe the bar and expectations have been set too low.

The pattern we have is an incredible one. It's my favorite. I've been able to hold onto wheels from FWD to RWD many times because of this pattern. EVerycar I've owned I've been able to use the wheels over and over again.

ADR is a company that will stock this pattern and will be cheap. Check tire rack or discount. 5Zigen will always have several options. They are the ticket. Enkei high performance as well. Team Dynamics, G-Racing, Exel.

FITMENT YOU're LOOKING FOR: MY fitments always imply maximum width, minimal chance of rubbing with stock fenders.

18" Fitment Guide:

7" wide +42; 215/40/18

7.5" +45 same tire as above

7.5" +50 225/35/18

I believe there will be some good wheels and fitments available here for you guys.

If you think it's bad for a sedan imagine a wagon, the frustrations us P5 owners go thru. Please don't misread the formula for a Protege5 as the same for the sedan. You have from my calculation about 3mm of more front spacing, therefore allowing for a 3mm lower offset requirement than the P5.

Peace Out,

Rishie

We'll be operational very soon. If you need to check Rota for stock please call them at:

510-786-1726

If they have them please call me. I'll look into pricing for you.

Thanks.

Rishie, you told me you don't have Black Racing Pro N1, but I came across a thread where you suggest them to MSP owners.

I didn't get a chance to call Rota yet, but if the Subzero thing doesn't work out, I'd be interested in those if you can get them.
