He says they're Rotas, but I dunno...

What wheels are these guys? I went to Rotawheels.com I didn't see anything like it it their catalog...





Anybody know who makes Yokohoma Super Advan replicas with good sides/offsets?

[gumby74]

I think Konig made a similar 3 spoke knock-off many years ago. Sometime in the late 90's, maybe early part of 2000.Keep in mind this would have been around the true explosion of the Honda scene, so I can't imagine them being larger than 17x7.5 with a high 30's offset. I could be completely wrong though.

Looking at those pics again, you sure they are not the real deal?Also, I remember seeing some Volks a while back. They did not....imo quite look as good as the Advan's. The Konig's (if memory serves) looked quite identical to the Advan's though they were 1 piece wheels.

No, you're right. I was searching on google earlier and came across the konig mp3's. Discontinued w/ absolute crap for sizes & offsets. There's gotta be more though...

Super Advans are soooo expensive! Their prices make Work and Volk look like Rotas...

Hmmm... Possibly the real deal? The guy selling them says their Rotas, but maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about. Hopefully he'll return my call.

But I don't really want those since the pics don't look like they have impressive specs. I'm trying to find something in that style, but 17x9.5+15 for Rota-like prices. Unlikely maybe, but I just though I'd ask.

Nah, I don't think those 1st wheels are Advans or Konigs... On a side note... man those Konig's look like crap next to the real thing

Looking at that last pic, they do look kinda' like *** compared to the real thing. Like I said, it was many years ago since I have seen those Konigs.Well, at least we settled that. Curiosity though, are you going 5 lug, or is that an oversight on my behalf? Just curious.

They're Rota HM3s. You'd be surprised how many wheels Rota has made, and how many have been discontinued.

I got 4 lug on the s13 and 5 lug on the s14. These would be for the s13, though. I'd convert to 5 lug if I found something nice enuff.

Thanks! I'll look into those!

Found info...







In case anyone else was wondering... It seems that these HM3's came in 15's mostly and it seems like there are still places where these can be bought online. The seller I got the original pics from said his were 17's. I'm gonna call Rota tomorrow and see how much they'll charge for 17x9.5+15 in 240sx fitment...

[gumby74]

Those gold one's are...actually not too bad looking at all.I don't know about the +15 offset, but if they are available in a 17x9.5 at all, I may be a bit more interested. Though a 17x9 would serve just as well.I'd sport 'em!

those don't look like the rotas pictured above... I mean, those even look like they're multi piece, when the rotas don't.

either way, I wouldnt get them if I were you. The offsets look super high...

Yeah, the size I want is pretty aggresive... I'll see how close they can get it and for what price. It would be great it I could get a good size for way less than p45r's, like the Elites. I saw the 15x7's selling in the $500 range.

I'll report what I find out.

I'm not. I hang around on this board waaay too much to a make decision like that. I just wanna find other options before I commit to p45r's...
