Rota P45R

[Ruxis]

Ive got offered a pretty awesome deal for these rims new.

Just been reading about them and ive heard good and bad stories about them, the owners of them say there good but peoples friends uncles parrots brothers crack after going over road works and stuff.

Whats the quality of these and whats everyone 2 cents about them???

A Pro is apparently they weigh like 8kgs o.O

the wheels will be used for daily use, long trips, some track work and some skid pad work. so has to be sturdy. although atm my GTT is only about 180 rwkw.

Im thinking these or drift teks, is there anything else that looks similar that people think id like???

any input will be greatly appreciated but please dont over or under exaggerate, this is my wallet after all

thanks guys,

Jarrad.

Been on my GTR for about 6 months and no cracks at all.. my car is a daily and cops the abuse of western Sydney streets every week

[zebra]

hard question to answer because wheel life should be measured in decades not months

[Ruxis]

from the friends uncles parrots brother it was less then a year and they were cracking though hah.

hence why i started this post. just seeing what everyone else thinks

thanks for your input guys! keep it coming!

Been running 18x9.5 P45R's on the GTR for about 18 months now with no issues, and really why would there be issues.

I don't drive into kerbs, I dont go offroad, I don't drive through roadworks and potholes - So basically I drive like a normal person and not like a "P plater drift champion".

Wheels don't just crack by themselves, abuse generally does it.

ive seen some nice offsets in these, id go for them or the rota grids ( te37 mock ups)

these are the rota p45r and rota grids

[Ruxis]

Yeah not to keen on dish. That's why I like the other ones

Think 18 8.5 +25 would fit a gtt good right round??

Don't want to roll guards so 9.5 is out

Yeah Thats right smithy. I found it hard to believe they'd just break lol.

[blonk20]

as said generally they shouldn't break unless your giving them heaps of abuse... got mah drift teks yesterday. just need to get some hub rings and some wheel nuts and ill have them on. 18x9.5 drift teks are 12 Kg btw

[R34P3R]

getting 8.5 on the front will give you a flat face not a concaved one with the rotas, you will need 9.5. if you get drift teks the 8.5 are concaved

[Ruxis]

Does flat face mean it'll hit the guards??? I don't know much about rims lol.

I'm thinking of getting 18 inch 8.5 inch with +25 offset.

Will these look good and will they hit??

[R34P3R]

Flat face

Concaved face

[R34P3R]

example on a car

fronts are flat and rears are concaved

[blonk20]

wow that looks horrible imo just put my drift teks on same size and offsets as sunny's only gold/bronze ill hopefully be able to take some photo's at some point when it stops raining here. needa adjust coilovers now tho lol, i don't like the flat faced ones. btw my rears are 9.5" +34 and they sit pretty well

[Ruxis]

Don't like the flat face??

[blonk20]

the front wheels on the pic of the fc rx7 compared to the rear(concave) they look horrible imo... ill try and mab get a photo for u of my car tomorrow

there a link to my 34. drifteks 8.5 +34 front and 9.5 +34 on the rear. 8.5 on the driftek will be concaved but on the rotas they will be flat faced. if you are getting rotas you will need a 9.5 +20(ish)

Hmm looks pretty nice. Well ive been offered p45rs in any size in 18s I want for 1200. 1100 for 17s delivered so can't really pass it up, and I want the same size right round so I can rotate Tyres. So what should I do?? I've been told the 17s by 9 will fit my car heaps better but I want 18s. Do you think the concave is worth getting 17s for?? Personally I don't know or care to much about flat or concave, but do they look shit in the eyes of a wheel whore?? Hah.
