Yeah, I think that's a good option, I am looking at this right now. 112 a wheel is cheap.

For the money, Rota's are awesome. In fact, if they cleared my new brakes, I'd still be running the white Attacks I had.

The only drawback is that they're heavier than other brands. The Attacks are their lightest wheel, and they're only 17"x7.5" at about 17.5 lbs. The RPF1's I've got now are both wider and lighter... and they clear my brakes. But they cost about $300 more for a set.

I'd suggest Rotas for winter wheels, hands down... and maybe a set of the Torques (Work Emotion replicas) for racing, but I think they're a little heavy and you can get lighter wheels for only a bit more money.

Well thanks, sounds like what I need to be looking for is the Weight factor.. I didn't know you got upgraded brakes/calipers?

MikeSTI 2005-03-16 10:21 AM

thats why I may sell my Torques and buy a some SSR Competition 17x8.5" 8)

MattR 2005-03-16 10:22 AM

Dean, where did you get those Enkei's before?

Discount Tire is out of the RT 215 already, I guess they're waiting on a new shipment. I really don't need tire to start the season. I have a little life left in my Azenis, (Not Much) and a set of 80% RE070 ready to go on. That should be enough to get me started.

I've had my eye on those too, I haven't got a definate answer back on STi Fitment.

MikeSTI 2005-03-16 02:11 PM

Yeah, Gunmetal...They look a lot like Deans Snow Tire wheels, they'll be great race wheels.

Nick Koan 2005-03-18 08:50 AM

Awesome. Congrats.
