Pics of s13 w/ NEW Rota D2's

[whiterps13]

I finally got a chance to upgrade my wheels. I had some nasty 17x7 +42's on the car before, so these are a much needed improvement. As far as being copies of whatever, I know they are Rotas and dont think they are anything else. If I could afford the Meisters, I would buy them. Heres the lowdown;

I like.

[SeVa-S13]

Not a fan of Rota, (h8 bandwagon I know) but what a huge improvement! Lookin' good.

Edit: Can I ask what they cost?And nice pics btw, much better than in your sig. Was that this evening? It was niiiice.

[onlyzenki]

i was expecting more of a lip. they look like + 45 wheels with 20mm spacers

[whiterps13]

Yeah, I just took them tonight. The pictures really dont do them justice, the lip looks much bigger in better lighting. I scrambled to get it washed and take pictures before the sun went down.

looks good I bought some rims that look Similar and similar size too.

[teddy]

Looks awesome man. I'm planning on picking up some d2's in the near future and was actually gonna get some MX's as well.

[Driftless240]

Sexy, those are the rims that I want to go with. Either those or some Meshies of the same style... Chrome on Black. THey are kinda pricey though arent they? And these have become a bandwagon? I know the Fn1oc <---You get the idea. Have been quoted as a bandwagon but I have only seen like 3-5 tops with them on. I know they are highly looked at but not near a bandwagon yet, IMO of coarse.

[Toshima]

I was just going to post asking for pic of a 240 with the d2 the other day. Looks great i want to see the gold one on a 240 now. Also what size tires did you get.

[HashiriyaS14]

What kind of suspension are you running with those?

[amolao]

Nice setup,,,,,what do you have for suspension and much did the Rotas cost???

[jamied311]

[jr_ss]

Lookin good, now get that dent fixed above the pass. rear...

[da40]

[SuLoS]

they look good dude!how much for the wheels?

guys guys, he just got them!!! he doesn't want to sell them already

they look cool man, very nice. too bad all the bolts are silver/crome but it still looks very good.

and the people give your car a:

[whiterps13]

Ok, I picked them up for $675 shipped from a guy on zilvia. The tires were $120 a piece from tirerack. Mounting and balancing was another $80, so the grand total is in the $1200-$1300 range. In my opinion, thats not bad for wide, low offset, 4 lug, NEW wheels. I'm happy, but I dont understand how these are "bandwagon" wheels. I've seen maybe 3 hatches at most with them on the internet.

[whiterps13]

And BTW, that dent is getting fixed this week. It looks like crap.

[Repo Man]

I'm happy...

All that matters.

[AmoebAssassin]

Wow, those look GREAT!!!

[forksquared]

if i could get them in a mat bronze i'd rock them!

[eds13]

"lovin da lip!"

Suspension?

its not that rota's are bandwagon wheels, its that hating on them is a bandwagon

im not a fan of the fake 3 piece look, but theyre not bad, especially for the price

completely better than what you had

[SeVa-S13]

Yeah, the fake multipiece style rivet thingies are kinda annoying, but in the dark it's all that separates them from everything other black center/polished lip wheel.

[whiterps13]

Thanks for all the comments guys, Its good to get some feedback.

I am running Tein Basics right now. I have the pillowball mounts w/ camber adjustabilty and Tein tie rods as well. It needs an alignment.

The dent was from an accident this winter where I barely sideswiped a parked car in an icy parking lot. I raised that coilover a little just to safely clear the fender.

The fenders also needed a slight rolling, but that just because of the ride height.

As far as the look of the fake 2 piece, I know. The pictures make the bolts look way too obvious, the lighting was just wierd. Again, if I could afford the Meister's, I would have bought them. This car needs a turbo.

[AZhitman]

HOT.

They look like the wheels I have on my vert.

[dfw240_EE]

How much do Rotas weigh?
