You aren't running the 10mm and 5mm wheel spacers, too?

Those rota wheels look great on the xa & xb!!! I ran 16" bronze rota circuit-10's on my box for a while. They were from my acura integra. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it sort of grew on me.

they might not in fact be subzero's. i believe they are the rim design that rota "borowed" for the subzero. that pic is from the tein website.... i know that car belongs to someone on the boards.

The subzer was origanally a Konig design. Check out their website.
Yes those are not sub zeros and yes they are pretty much the same.
You get the gist.
Dont rotas come in higher offsets and except for the subzero 17" is almost the same.

BangorXB, where are you purchasing your Rotas from? I was thinking of getting some rotas and was looking for the best price. The best prices I've found are www.machiii.net and www.wheeldude.com. If you haven't checked these sites already, check them out. By the way I am not affiliated with any of the above sites lol.

I have Rota 18 inch Subzeros on my Matrix, but not on the xB. I like the wheels alot, plus the S-03s aren't bad either.

Nice ride phantomxA!

Actually--the Konig/Rota version is based off of the original RACING HART CP-035s

That's the right answer, rota makes replica rims while racing hart has the original design. Thanks JDMxB for the correct answer. If he wasn't going to say it, i was...hehe

I wasn't blaming rota at all. I never was dissing and hating on them. The facts just needed to be correct. They make good quality cast rims at a very low price. I knew that they buy molds from various companies. Some people will always dislike rota because they make replicas, but for myself I wouldn't care. If people continue to buy them, the demand will always be there. On the other hand, if i had the money I'd always buy originals, but since i'm on a tight mad budget I bought rotas. Yes, I rock rotas.

The Auto X wheels come in other finishes other than black with red lip? Neat.

Yes sir, they come in 5 colors. I was at one point thinking of black w/ red lip but i knew i would get tired of that color really quick.

I like my Subzeros, I didn't even know about the CP-035s when I bought them over a year and a half ago. I first saw them on a suby and decided to get a set.
