yeah, its worth the wait, but the wait is a sumbeech.

KcKhan 03-28-06 06:18 PM

Im looking around on tire rack and was wondering wich tires would be good in the 205/50-15 size, but i read this size wont fit for the front, SO, where do i find 195/50-15 size tires? im not seeing much on tirerack

rotrmotr 03-28-06 10:17 PM

Hey Guys- could not get in contact with Rota today- will try tomorrow & let you guys know the latest news

I had both Sumitomo 195/50-15 HTRZ & HTR4 tires on my old '85 se- they both had good grip & slowly broke loose at the limit in dry weather- the HTR4 had better wet weather grip than the HTRZ- I might pick up the HTRZ again- cant go wrong with the price. here is a link:

10mm offset?
 
I would like to run these tires on my SA with the 15x7 Rota DT's.
It looks like about 10mm offset would be needed to clear the strut. Any comments?

wheel & tire fit
 
The info at this site suggests a 205/50 would fit and maybe 215 or 225 depending on the specific tire.

I'm running 205/50/15s on all four corners.... No problems... tried running 225/50/15s in the rear... looked badass.... but rubbed....

aussiesmg 03-29-06 10:29 PM

I just hope they get the +10 offset right or else the tires will be limited by the gap between the suspension and the tire. The stock +18 will not allow the 205 tires.

This is continued in Group Buy scetion

KcKhan 03-31-06 01:17 PM

i posted this in the group buy section but i just wanted to make 100 percent sure
for my 8 gs, will 15x6.5 fit? or do i need to switch to the 15x7 gt3 wheels?

KcKhan 03-31-06 02:49 PM

rotrmotr 04-03-06 05:59 PM

Hey Guys! Just wanted to post quickly that I have been trying to get in contact with Rota these last couple of days with no luck- seems the factory is slow in responding to my questions- the rep told me that it will be much faster if we ordered the RB wheels since they were designed for RWD applications- I still prefer the GT3 & the JSPL wheels- I will see what answers I get today & let everyone know shortly- thanks for being patient guys!

ApG Spaz 04-03-06 07:24 PM

-me-RB

-camocarl - Put me down for a set of RB's if you can get them in 15x7. Can we choose the offset? My pick would be 0"

-boog - "i think we all have a.d.d. lol im actually into the rb also, ; )"

-rbf41182gt - "just RB (in 15x7 or 15x8) or GT-3 for me. "

-kill no cone - maybe?

-mazdo - "if the RB wheels will be available in 15's then I will DEFINATELY jump on them."

yay, lets go! RB 15x7 0 offset! (carl, what would you suggest on 15x8 for offset in the back?)

rotrmotr 04-03-06 07:34 PM

Hey ApG Spaz- I did not get a response from Rota today- will call them tomorrow with the results- are you shure that a 15x7 wheel with 0 offset will fit our cars?

aussiesmg 04-03-06 07:36 PM

15 X 8 would be best with about -10 offset...

rbf41182gt 04-03-06 07:43 PM

i changed my mind-

i think i'm going to stick with the GT-3's, 15x7

as long as they fit, i'll be happy

im going based on camocarls suggested offset. To me he seems like the wheel guru as far as first gens come, hehe

aussiesmg 04-05-06 11:11 PM

concur with above

FIBREMAZ 04-05-06 11:18 PM

For reference SA22C's are +20 offset
FB's if you have 4x110 PCD offset is the same as SA
If you have 4x114.3 +38/40 offset

Rotary7s 04-07-06 07:02 PM

ok so any news?keep me updated.

dewalt2front 04-16-06 10:46 AM

jspl
 
Id be interested in a fully polished set jspl. If its not too late ..Thanks

candyassmiler 04-16-06 04:21 PM

im sure its not too late. there havent been any orders placed, i dont believe.

timmybighands 04-16-06 04:39 PM

Okay guys. I was interested, then jumped out becuase my car came with Enkei's... now that I've rolled them for a while, I think I'd rather go with a nice NEW set of wheels that are 'less common" so I'm in for a set... I'm not sure 100% what I like so far... I think a set of J.SPL's or the PanaSport relicas?

How far away from having these things are we? I'm not going to read through 15 pages of votes.

boog 04-16-06 04:55 PM

im out of this whole deal, i dont know where rotrmotr is but if you guys really want then you should email the dealer here and manu. in philipines

rbf41182gt 04-16-06 05:49 PM

there's a thread in the group buy section- go there, that's where most of the action and serious people are

rotrmotr 04-19-06 10:00 PM

Hey everyone! sorry for not keeping in contact- fact is that I have been trying to get in contact with the person I am dealing with at Rota with no success- after calling every other day this past two weeks- I have not heard back from him- even after leaving 4 messages on his cell phone- I dont know if he is on vacation or just avoiding me- I hope not- been very frustrated with his lack of communication. I am hoping he is on vacation.

I will let everyone know the minute I get a response from him on the wheels & if this is still a go with the factory- then I will take additional orders for those that just saw this group buy- thanks everyone!

chedda_j 04-19-06 10:10 PM

Im really liking the GT3's. Fuck...il have the money in a three weeks.

aussiesmg 04-19-06 10:18 PM

You are the man Rotrmotr....keep up the good work.

markusj08 11-08-07 05:09 PM

markusj08 11-08-07 06:06 PM

got it so i assume i cant get any of those then. lol.

wecycle 11-11-07 12:46 AM

Is this group buy dead or can we still get the GT-3 in 15x7 with 15 to 20 mm offset?

Castratikron 11-11-07 12:53 AM

i vote for rota panasports but tell them to make them legit 3piece wheels this time lol

far_sharper 11-11-07 01:22 PM

Slipstreme, Flight, then GT-3.
I'm guessing this group buy isn't happening... shame

aussiesmg 11-11-07 03:43 PM

Kerebrus 11-11-07 04:45 PM
