WHEELS ARE SOOOOO SICK!!!

I have boosts also, I JUST WISH I COULD GET THEM IN 5X100 WITH A 30 OFFSET =(

WHEN is someone going to realize there is a huge demand for this offset in this lug pattern....... maybe ill have to man up and do the sti hub conversion and buy the evo fitment wheels.....

i agree we need lower offsets!! for the 5x100 lug pattern shoot i'd be happy w/35offset. I know you guys can do it! Shoot i'm throwing this out there right now i've already had multiple sets of rotas i'm more then happy to buy more if you guys can create a lower offset wheel. At least anything less then 48.

the demand isnt really there I dont think

1) the bolt pattern

2) 17x9 or 18x9 +30 on a wrx would require insane fender pulling

evo guys are asking for 17x9+30 and still waiting, brembo clearance sucks

you dont need to pull fenders on a race car

you stick an overfender over it, cut out the old fender, and run some super stiff springs!!

Ask me how i know

We can only do taht with 5 sets pre sold

You can always take a 5x114.3 set and drill it to be a multi-hole 5x114.3/5x100

That might be something you would do, but its not something a lot of people would do, i'm pretty we'd be stuck with those if we placed an order for it.
