trying to help out with a bunch of people asking about these wheels. i just mounted the tires and installed them on my S14 today

im now running Rota P45R's. they are sports bronze. and ill say it now and quite clearly. yes they are inexpensive wheels, no s*** there rota's. but i like them a lot and thats all that matters!! the tires are meaty as hell. i bet no one can guess what the whole package cost me. go ahead

specs:Rota P45R 17x9.5 +12 sports bronzeFalken Azenis RT-615 255/40/17

$800

I think I'm going to buy the 17x9 +15 version and put a 225/45 tire on it. I need to clear coils and these seem to be the only wheels worth buying in my situation.

[Beems240sx]

they are clearing my coilovers just fine! i havnt had a single rub yet.

[simmode1]

Why does everyone go for these bronze sh*ts? I just don't get the appeal. Other than that...

I'm gonna guess $1300 including tires. Where did you order from?

[Beems240sx]

Because they are cheap but still sexy. But to each his own. I paid 1100 with tires. I ordered the rims straight from rota and I work at discount tire

[simmode1]

Nice! Discount Tire FTW! Is that $1100 with employee discount?

BTW, I wasn't dissing the wheels, I was just confused as to why everybody thinks Royal Bronze is the best color... Personally, I like the Hyper Black best. But I wish they had them in Plain Silver like the P45F's...

[Beems240sx]

yeah it is, i pay price plus 10%

im pretty sure you can get them in silver. i never looked into that because i just love the bronze

very nice man... Another rota user +1 I have 18x9.5 +15 on my s14 running with Tein coilovers...

man I want a kouki Im starting to like the 18" grids though

[simmode1]

Yeah, the Grid's aren't as played out as the P45R's. But their knockoff-ness is waaaay more easily spotted than the P45R's. Probably not an issue for most. But just thought I'd mention it...

And I just realized... I really don't like that huge Rota center cap...

Edit: Someone should start a thread for all P45R users to post their pics in one place, since these are really popular wheels. Maybe even include the 18" Grids, too... I would start it off, but I don't have any yet. Maybe title it something like 'Ultimate P45R/Grids pic thread' or something...

lookin good, im wondering whether to go with 18x9.5 +15 or 17x9 +30 all the way around on my s14

I don't have any footwork (coils etc) yet.

Skilz10179's setup is beautiful, but I feel it would look perfect on an s13. I think S14 really need 18's. Go for the 18x9.5+15 and run 275's all around. It's been done and it looks good.

But get coils first. Nice looking wheels on cars with crappy/stock ride height looks terrible.

I really prefer 17's on my car rather than 18's, thats why i bought them. I think the size and offset of my wheels is perfect, i have about 3mm of clearance on the inside and outside of my 275's out back (with the fenders rolled), changing the offset +/- a few mm and it would rub with how low the car is.

BTW, the car is already on coilovers and is as low as streetably possible for my tire size.

Here are a few pics from a local Nissan Meet over the weekend.

I certainly have NOTHING against your wheel selection, I was just espousing a personal opinion. I think it's superb! But I'm soooo glad you replied with more pics! I was just gonna ask for some more, especially shots showing the wheels in different lighting... I love how this color changes the look of your ride from certain angles!

I was torn between these and going 5 lug so I could get RPF1's... But these look soooo good and are soooo cheap! But after months of indecisiveness, I know I've settled on this exact same setup for my s13!



Hyper Black > All

man I want a kouki Im starting to like the 18" grids though

I just found out the Grids are available in 18x10! Here's some with a +35 offset...

18x9.5... Sick.
