Rota wheels...

hey im looking at a set of subzeros but i noticed they are like 500 bucks for a set of 4? why so cheap? are they forged or cast?

cuz if they are cast im gonna go with some volk TE37s... Gunmetalic w/ polished lip on a black 2004 STi... what do you think?

Rota Subzeros are cast. If you have the money for the Volk Racing TE37s, sure, buy 'em. I think they'll clear your Brembos, too.

i might be reading this wrong, but 17" subzeros will not clear the sti's brembos, the only 17" rota that will is the tarmac 2 iirc

not sure on the volks, i would assume they do clear them though

Yes, I was talking about the Volk TE37 rims and the Brembos. Those are nice wheels on almost any import. I've seen them on a really clean, well-executed Acura and the guy chose well.

this one is a no-brainer. Forged wheels are the way to go if money isn't an issue.

Rota Attacks also clear the brembo's. Good luck finding them though. (Discontinued)
