very nice looking wheel. I didn't like them in pictures by themselves but they look great on your car.
 
wow, now i have a better idea of what my car would look like if i would have bought that kind of wheel design !!!!. it's nice i must say, you beat me 2 it.

now i have to look for an alternative rim .....maybe a hyperblack 5 spoke's will work, that way we wont have 2 identical car ;-)

I had a set of Rotas back in the 93 on my Audi. They were s***! haha. New Rotas are MUCH better I've heard.
 
No, pics are still there.

flipstylex, I also like the Rota Torques, but they're not available in hyper black unfortunately. :(
 
I thought that the rota p1's had a different hub bore not compatible with our cars? Did you get them drilled?
 
Damn you, bushrat, you beat me to the punch! (fuoops) j/k

I ordered my Rota P1's in Hyperblack about 8 weeks ago. But I only put a down-payment on them. Then other expenses popped up and I had to defer making the final payment. Finally get to purchase them next week (payday Friday).

Since I have over 24k miles on my stockers, I'm planning to upgrade the rubber to 225 size. Not sure exactly what tire yet. I would love to get Potenza RE-01R's but they are running about $200 bucks a pop. Tirerack has a deal on Kuhmo Ectas for around half that price, so that'll probably be my choice for now.

Nice pics. Take a few more with the wheels/car all nicely cleaned up and with the morning or evening lighting. Those HB color wheels have a wonder way of chaning hues depending on the amount of lighting/glare.

I can't wait to post my pics up in a couple more weeks. (drinks)
 
man, after seeing yur pics i'm sold on the Cosmic Blue color when i'm
ready to purchase my ms3.
looks great, and like stated above, now drop her. ;)
 
I'm confused. You got 1" wider wheels, but stuck with OEM 7" wide tires??? What's the point? The stock tires are too narrow for our cars, IMO. I would LOVE 8" tires instead.
 
I haven't gotten new tires yet. Gonna wear these out and get 235/40's.

Rims and tires is quite a bit of change to spend all at once.

+1

they look really good man.
how much did you have to bore them?
i've been looking at the rota torques for quite some time but i'm scared of boring them. i've been told it will weaken the wheel.

who knows how much...
