some more Rota Grids. I have no idea what the spec is but it doesn't matter. Most SL members will just get the played out 18x9.5.

As for the quality of Rotas. GST who are sponsored by Wheeldude, run Rotas on their Time Attack Subie

Yeah I wouldn't pay much attention to the internet meme about Rotas. You can tell from the photo that wheel took an impact from how the metal is jagged. I even saw first hand last weekend the lip on a Volk GTP split down the center and the driver didn't hit anything. I'm not saying a cast wheel could take as much abuse as a forged one, but they all have their flukes.

The center caps look like s_iatttt!!!
Do you actually like them or just don't want to be looking at the hole?

I would rather look at them over holes personally.

I actually tried the other day and the scion cap is too small for the opening of the Rota's. Otherwise they would be on there lol.

It wouldn't even fit with most of the aftermarket rims out there, besides, it would look tacky and wayyyyyy outa place.

I forgot to take the rear caps off before putting them on, and I'm too damn lazy to take them off to pop em out from the inside haha. I tried prying with my nails but I couldn't get it, and I don't want to damage the finish on the wheels by using something esle.

I'll get em' next time.

Oh and trick for everyone with the rusty hubs and front axle spindles... Go to walmart and get the liquid tape stuff, basically like a rubber paint with a brush that dries into a black rubber like material. I used that and brushed it onto the rusty centers to make them look a clean black

Awww that sucks... I was gonna do that when I actually get either the G-Force or the Torques because the Rota emblem is definitely hideous.

I wonder how hard it would be to find a color similar to the wheel and pull off the emblem and just paint the centers to match?

You can actually peel the rota logo sticker off the color matched center cap

If you're talking about the girl with the black one, hers aren't as aggressive and they've been painted gunmetal now. And Tibbys are 5x114.
