Rota Grids offroads. Goodluck finding them though. There was a seller on Ebay about a year or two ago, but now he's no where to be found.

OP here, really want those wheels, they are sick! something that truthfully for once caught my eye. I looked up Rota Grids, I find them similar but not just the same, they seem to be flat faced not dished like the ones in the photo... any idea, links?!

the llook where it goes in tward the center is called concave

the flat ones are probably high offsets, common in FWD

Oy.... He didn't say Rota Grids. Reading comprehension....

Rota Grids= Weak offsets, flat face.Rota Grid Offroads= Concave face, better offset.

Now look up Rota Grid Offroads

4 lug Grid Offroads are easy to find in comparison to the 5 lug version. I could have bought 20 sets of grids in every color before I finnally found my set of 5 lugs.

My car isnt white, but I will whore anyway.

I would definitely say that 5lug hubs are the first thing you need to upgrade to. And maybe the second thing would be suspension with wheels. Sometimes when you upgrade to better wheel and tire packages, the offset isn't right or you have to deal with camber and caster issues, that aren't fixed with stock suspension. So be careful, you don't want to have to buy a new set of tires cuz the rubber rides wrong on the road. Everyone likes to get the bronze/gold/gunmetal style but it's up to preference. http://www.more-japan.com has SSR wheels that are pretty sweet.

5zigens are sooo 2005 lol. Get with teh Sportmax craze, it's the 2007-2008 entry level rim. lol. jk 5zigens still make decent wheels.

+1 for the grid offroads+1 for some black meshies w/deep dish polished lip+2 for that white coupe w/silvia front sporting the white wheels...I touched myself to that one.

For wheels suggestion Gold or Black. I love XD9s. And those Rotas are nice.

for those who have these wheels, do you need to fender roll? What do you need to make the wheels fit exactly? Spacers? Roll/Pull? And what size are the wheels that would fit (XD-9s only) Please help.Thanks

This scares me. Good to know it's still 'loved' though. Even though it doesn't look quite the same these days.
