. Weight is a little hard to determine however. Rota lists no weight on their page and I’ve seen quotes from 13.9 to 16 lbs for the 16x7. Do you know the actual weight of these wheels?
They seem to be like hen's teeth. Mine are not double drilled.Thanks! Sounds good, I’ll likely order myself up a set. I’ve been having trouble finding the 4x108 pattern besides your one link. Are they rare or are the 4x100’s double-drilled to 4x108? I’d really rather have silver wheels to go with my blue Fiesta.
hard to find but worth it in the endThey seem to be like hen's teeth. Mine are not double drilled.
Damn, just before ordering them I checked their offset and discovered it’s 40mm vs the 47.5 mm of the stock wheels. Maximum offset delta in SCCA is 6mm so the Rotas are illegal. Back to the drawing board!http://www.importparts.com/rota-slipstream-16x7-0-4x108-40-63-35mm-bore-flat-black/
Check out these. I have them on my car for my winter set, but may get something else so I can use these for summer. I saw a listing that these are only 13.5 lbs!
Too bad!:thumbsdown: They fit the FiST like a glove!Damn, just before ordering them I checked their offset and discovered it’s 40mm vs the 47.5 mm of the stock wheels. Maximum offset delta in SCCA is 6mm so the Rotas are illegal. Back to the drawing board!
Fyi Alan, I went with the Sparcos, and mounted with both the Rivals and the Z2s, they weigh the same as the OEM. Almost exactly the same across all three. I was hoping for some reduction, but not with these heavy performance tires.Most of the other options like the Sparcos are too heavy. The OZ Ultraleggera is the best legal option I've found do far but they are $227 each plus they are the same wheels I had on my Solstice and I'd like something different if possible. I might see if it's possible to machine 2mm of material off the mounting face of the Rotas but I'm not holding my breath.
Test & tune this weekend, should have some feedback then. This will be a steep learning curve for me. I've never driven a Fwd car, I'm running staggered tire compounds and sizes, and I don't even have much of a baseline for starting pressures.How do you think the 225/45s work vs the 225/50s that others are selecting? I'm planning on the 225/45s too unless I decide to go with 17s instead.
