    NEW wheel coming out, what offsets do you want to see?

    Rota have a new wheel, that will be out in around 3 months.

    Before I order, I would like some idea on what offsets would be perfect..

    The choice of size are

    18x8.5
    18x9
    18x9.5
    18x10

    Also, what colours would people be interested in?

    So far we are going for
    a) Matt Bronze
    b) white
    c) green??

    The wheel is this

    IHMO 18x10 = Something around -30 would be ideal.

    There copies... bit like the kits a lot of peeps buy. The originals will always be worth more and perform better fear not. Not everyone can afford the originals unfortunately, so rather than buy 2nd hand items some peeps prefer to buy new copies. That's ok, but kinda strange that a wheel company called "rare rims" sells copied wheels rather than originals. (I'm not slagging you off, just odd name choice as such given your market). If that is what I could afford, I'd buy them! The bottom line is, if you want good looking wheels on a budget and don't want the regular chavvy style, then these are an awesome choice. We should be thankful to RR's, as many of our car's look good thanks to the price they sell the wheels for!

    I'd go for +10 offset personally, and at least 8" wide. Gives you chance to run spacers if you needed them. I'd also have a few 18's as some people do like them big, but wide 17"'s are the Daddy

    10J +15 would be as low as I'd go offset wise if you actually want to sell any. That would give you a decent fit on a GTR and would be decent on an S14 with a reasonable flare

    Using the sizes from other wheels

    18x9.5 +35 for the boring people
    18x9.5 +12 for the adventurous people
    18x10 something around +12 for the people wanting aggressive(ish) fitment

    No point bringing in wheels with very low offsets - quite a niche market, and the few people wanting really low offsets will most likely be brand whores too
