Pics of new rims rota Subzeros!





Well after a hell of a long ridew on stock wheels finally got rims. Wasn't easythough the rear don't fit on the center hub becuase of the waty the center bore of the rims is cut. I had to use spacers but I didn't get longer studs yet. I'm going to buy the H&R spacer kit and install it hopefully this weekend. apperatnyl I was the only one fitment issues with these rims, they were sold to a few other 4th gen members too. (17x7.5 45mm offset)

What do you think?

Hmm, they look kinda small, might be because the tire size, but I don't know they look smaller than my stock 16's. Not bad though, I like the double pipe 5 spokes. Are these the ones someone was selling in the GD forum for uber cheap?

yeah I was a little disapointed cuz they do like like they're 16's not 17's, but they are indeed 17's. Nevertheless I'm please with the overall better appearance of the car.
I bought them from antoher member who got in on the GD but changfed his mind about the rims.

Looking good bud, i just got a set, of 17in Subzero's last December, but I got them in flat black, hmmmm black rims on a dark green 4th gen Maxima, looks like I'm going to have to do some photoshopping. But I have to wait till spring comes, so I can purchase my tires and put my babies on too.

I like 'em. The tires look meaty!

That's strange about how the rears don't fit right. The centerbores should be fine on the Rotas.

Oh one thing I forgot to mention, On the rears instead of having the ugly green caps in the middle, you can get some fine grit sandpaper and pollish them and after that get some aluminum pollish and they will shine right up really nice.

Be careful with Rota wheels. Apparently they don't hold up to Auto-x stress.

They're all for looks. I'm not going to Auto X in them. I saw a picture of the Guy with the Rota's on a Subura and they got cracked.

They're used in the USTCC and various rallies. I did see that one photo though. Disconcerting, but hopefully flukey.

Its not just Rota in general, Apperently SSR wheels cant handle the stress according to DTM racers.
