So I've been looking for new rims. Me being 16 and working at Five Guys Hamburgers and Fries, doesn't quite give me the funds for Volk Te37's in Takata Green like I want.

Soooo I looked around and Rota Grids in the color Absolute green caught my eye. But I can't seem to find the rims in a non-s*** offset. All of the ones I see are like +35 and up. I don't want to run spacers because I prefer not to f*** up my studs.

So I would like to know where I can find Absolute Green Rota Grids 17x9.5 +12?

All help is appreciated guys, Thanks.

Evan.

As per the Rota wheels Availabilty spread sheet: http://www.rotawheel.com/AVAILABILITY.htm

It doesn't look like that color is currently in stock anywhere in the US. But if anybody can get them for you, it'll be the guys at www.wheeldude.com

You might just have to order the size you want and then take them somewhere to get them powdercoated...

I could have sworn they started making 17x9's too, but I can't find it on their crappy website. Give them a call or hit them up on Facebook!

Damn Varrstoen chopping it up. Now Only all those sizes where available in 17's for us non-kitted peeps. 18's looks awesome for stocked bodies zenkies, not so much koukis.

I looked in his thread. But it doesn't give a specific site to buy the wheels and no one seems to have a +12 offset in grids. But it's all good now He gave me a pretty solid site.

I got a Origin body kit for my car. I just have some wheels that are like +35 offset, and I don't want to run spacers. Plus I love black cars with green wheels.
