[Seven]

Thanks!

True but they weren't as wide as I needed and they were (sadly) not well.
They currently reside on CodyAce's 400whp Kouki SR car. *shrug*
I like black wheels :shrug:

Thanks for taking it off topic guys.

Btw - I hit a curb doing about 55 with the rotas, all that happened was the lips was ground off the wheel... I drove home with no issues.
They hold up fine.

[TheSquidd]

From another thread, that picture is misleading.

That set of Rotas lived a full and healthy track day life before cracking.

Still, buying Rotas is like AIDs

I'm sorry but there is no comparison between REAL LMGT4's and the P45's

Real monoblock LM's are amazing (but only the gangster size ones)

And you said kouki....but nothing about 180sx

Koguchi's cars are always so bad ass

This car single handedly beats any 240 ever modded in America in general badassedy

Didn't say there was but I wanted pics of either cuz I wanted to see what they looked like on the car I said P45s or LMGT4s cuz for appearance theyre about the same.

and...

Kouki S14 sir.

You could show as many pictures of broken Rotas as you want

You could show pics of Rotas clubbing baby seals

People would still buy them

[kdashy]

I like how you keep mentioning LMGT4's.

Sure they look the same.

But which ones are you buying?

[sw20>>s14]

in the event of that accident, any wheel would have taken a crap...how the hell did s/he rip through an RT615 like that...didnt shred...it....ripped...and shattered the rotor...any more pics of that massacre?

[azndoc]

Rotas are like import models.

Look good from a far but far from good.





When I say far. I mean like really fucking far. Really really far.

[GSXRJJordan]

^^^ That wheel hit a curb/post/something hard enough and square enough to crack the ROTOR, not just the wheel.

I'd also love to see those wheels on a nice kouki, but I don't think Rota makes them in gangster enough sizing to run without spacers... then again I havent seen LMGT4s in truly gangster sizing either... Logan, do they make em in like 18x10 +teens?

[hustlervibes]

I wish my fronts had more concave... i'm only running the standard 350Z/G35 fitment on my S14 18x8.5 +25 and 18x9.5 +30. I wish the fronts didn't have the huge pads :(

You mean like 18x10.5 +15? And 17x9.5 +12.

Still have to run spacers to make ultra gangster, but that's life.

EDIT: Interestingly enough, my GT4s are used and I've been tossing around the idea of painting them Black or Mag Blue... I need more, so I can do a bunch of different colors. White rules too. As you can see. By my car ruling your computer screen.

[BLiTz]

I have LMGT-2's for sale that are on my s14 (pics in my sig thread) You should have known this would be a slaughter fest with you comparing rotas to Nismos. I love my nismos and there strong as a ox. But yea you better decide how much you want to spend here because you can probably get about 3 sets of rotas for how much a set of new GT4's will cost you. Logan your the greatest! i want to see some rotas beating babies and burning rainforest! hahaahah hilarious...

[OptionZero]

LMGT2's aren't even close.

original poster:
look for posts by S30 Bushido. He has some special order 18x9.5 +20 (or +15) P45's in black, but on an S14.5 in black IIRC.

yes, they are available in much better sizing, but iirc, Logan can't get them, they are exclusive to Nismo dealers. Special order from Japan.

[DoriftoSlut]

Oh, no. Logan can get them. If you go to "Nismo dealers" they won't have the low/wide variety, and also, they don't even know the molds exist. Most places don't even list all the sizes the wheels come in, just what they have in stock for the 350Z crowd.


So. Prepare to wait... The better part of a year. For the good ones.

Member TurK has them on a black car. Oh wait, this is what I'll be doing if I can trade my new RMC 57pros :D

they're double the price when you consider shipping from Japan

Possibly better sizes unless u get the special order Rotas

[CKAMC]

Good luck trying to get Real LMGT4's that come in black.

Supposedly there are only 50 sets ever made and they were given to shops favored by Ray's/Nismo

Best bet is to order some Silver ones and get them powder coated.

[A Spec Products]

Oh, no. Logan can get them. If you go to "Nismo dealers" they won't have the low/wide variety, and also, they don't even know the molds exist. Most places don't even list all the sizes the wheels come in, just what they have in stock for the 350Z crowd.



Technically the other guy is right

I can't get Nismo wheels (although they are obviously made by Rays Engineering and I get Volk, Gram Lights, etc)

Nismo is exclusive to Nissan dealerships who sell Nismo

The Nissan dealerships can get them, but its like $800-900 PER WHEEL and thats not really negotiable because from what I understand dealerships don't really get much discount on the LM's to begin with

If you don't believe me holla at Justin @ West Covina Nissan and he'll fill you in

But yeah Lindsay is right, most stateside LM's that are stocked are always the 18x8.5/9.5 stuff which is targeted towards the Z33/G35 crowd

Here is the LMGT4 sizing chart:

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi2/sizeGuide.cgi?modelName=GT4

Pretty much LMGT4's are my dream wheel unless someone comes out with something better

Which isn't possible

Second best choice to LM's would be TE37, but I had to take a break on those, brought in mad gangster sets and now I gotta pull back

What I want to start doing is bringing in gangster size CE's....like 17x9/10 fitment, take it back to the old school!

They did come in black, but were super rare iirc. If you look up the Z tune R34 you will see it, I think that they only came in GTR offsets but I'm probably wrong on that.

You're right actually.

I forget the amount, but only a certain amount were actually made. They were special edition Anniversary wheels for Nismo or the Skyline or something and as you said they only came in GTR offsets.

As for buying new LMTG4's, you can only get silver, bronze, or white.

The Bee*R B5's are out of the question because they stopped making them. I wanted to pick up a set but the store owner confirmed that they are no longer in production. I'd say go with M2 DT05R's or URAS for the similar look.

Fuck yea man, I got the real deal, Can't roll with anything else! Originally wanted black or Mag Blue. After seeing Koguchi's car again. And again. And again. And again I really might do that. We'll see.


Logan, I forgot about that! When we talked about it, we had to consult Westco Justin. I remember now. ANd yeah, they get DICK for pricing.

My wheels were pricey, but I got them on Yahoo.jp. And then I went to Joji at wheelchoice.com and he brought them over for me. How many people are actually gonna go through with something like that?

dont fake the funk.! get the nismo's its like having your girl roll on payless shoes. lolz even the fc is rocking nismo's ahah. but really its all about function for me.

[tacotacotaco]

you can get japanese sized lmgt-4s at a lower price than 800-900 theres two places. ask Jung918 he has a set of 18x9.5+12 and 18x10.5+15

also the uras ns-01 are no longer being produced. They were also being brought in as cst dspecs thru speed alliance also no longer being produced. i do have a set of 17x9.5+15x4 in black that i might be posting up for sale.

[stu8319]

Not all 350Z's come with Ray's made wheels. Only the Track model, or now with the new body, the GT wheels, are Ray's wheels. Rota's are not as bad as everyone says. Elitist or not you have to appreciate a cheap wheel that performs well. The only horror stories I hear about Rota's are "My friend's Rota's". Everyone that has them loves them.

Those are not Rotas because the P45s have 5 holes, those have 10, those are real Nismos I think.

I had a Track edition Z so I did indeed remove my somewhat used RAYS wheels (sold them to CodyAce - they're now on his S14) and bought P45s as well as some other mods for the car.

I agree that everyone who actually OWNS rotas loves them. I've owned 4 sets and 2 pair of them came out of accidents fine.

cst no longer imported, not sure if they still made

those that have rotas are the same people that thought they were worth buying in the first place; it's easy to say why they are satisfied with them...they probably weren't looking for much to begin with or were too stupid to realize the difference

either way, the state of mind of those that own rotas has nothing to do with their quality (or lack thereof)

people that like sex with animals probably think its a great idea, that doesn't mean it actually is a great idea

and about that picture of the rota wheel, I find it hard to believe the crashed happen due to a "failed" wheel. Honestly, if i was in a crash like that, my Rota's would be the last thing on my mind.

[Jung918]

I got in contact with 3 dealerships and no one would get them for me. One of the dealers told me that Paul at NismoUSA doesn't like to import those sizes and if they do, they would charge an outrageous price. These wheels are obviously gray market. I wouldn't recommend the company that I got it from. I would try hopupracing if I had to do it over again.

I probably owned 8 or 9 sets of Rotas when I had my Integra. They I only bought one set, and just traded around with friends like baseball cards, haha.

I auto-X'd them, daily drove on them, hit curbs, potholes, racoons and squirrels, and not once did any of the wheels give me a sign of giving up...except for the curb rash on my CPR knockoffs(Track R's). They're great for the money, and light. I don't give a shit about elitist cock gobblers who think their shit doesn't stink, why pay 1000+ for a 15" wheel, when I can spend $400 shipped to my door, buy some badass tires, and reap the benefits of having a light weight wheel and still have money leftover for more important things.

People with this elitist mentality are the shitbricks, who buy some baller-ass wheel, wrap them in BO-BO ass tires that arn't worth a shit, and then hardpark their showcar built with race-car parts.

One day, I hope that Rota will have successfully copies every cool, overpriced, mAd TyTe JDM wheel in existence...just to make the nutswingers cry.

I consider the wheel to be one of THE most important things in the car. If you don't believe that, then well, good luck.

its ok some people like having fake shit just to make themselves feel better. can't afford the real thing, better value, etc etc, whatever the reason but in the end, you'll always be making excuses for yourself why you don't have the real thing. the nutswingers aren't going to be the ones crying.

lol
i'm not even gonna bother
enjoy your rotas?

Did you miss the post where I said I hit a curb at 55+ mph with those rotas and all that happened was the lip got grinded up?

They worked fine and held up better than other wheels I've had in the past.

The thing that bothers me is this. 4 things actually.

1 - I don't drift, I drag race fairly often and when I do I have a set of Weld Draglites I'll be using. I might hit the road course or do auto-x 1-2 times a summer. The car will be driven about 3-5 days a week tho (have a trailblazer for rain/snow) So to me the wheels on the car are basically street only.
I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend 2500 on wheels only to get em curbed at work a week later. It's just not worth it around here, people steal expensive shit, and the car will be parked outside a lot, in areas where theft would be imminent. PA roads suck ass too. However, so far, Rotas have held up against PA roads.

2 - I'd rather spend the 600-700 on Rotas and spend a lot on NICE street tires. And the money leftover on a CAM or Nitrous for the LS1 going in the car. If that doesn't tell you how I feel about JDM (I don't hate on it, but an aluminum block LS1 is just a better solution - better/bigger powerband, more power out of the box etc)... then I dunno what to tell you.

3 - Half the nutswingers have: never owned, can't afford, put shitty tires or dont even use, Volks/RAYS/Etc. Which makes me laugh even harder.

4 - I bought my S14 for 3500. I can't justify spending almost what I paid for the car alone on just wheels (even before tires). To all you guys who buy a 2000-dollar S13 and then spend 4k on wheels and tires, go you. But to me, thats retarded, if the car gets totalled and you didn't make a point to have the car appraised, you're not getting DICK for those wheels. You spent 4k on nothing in that case. That won't be me.

like i said, people just make excuses for themselves

i bought a pair of used volks that was way cheaper than any set of rotas and is built with quality. no excuses here.

and yes, LS1 rocks, but lets not get offtopic

the value of the car is not worth the same as the sentimental value of the idea of the car. you may have bought ur car for 3500 but what if you are the 1st owner of the vehicle and bought the car brand new for 15-20k? spending 4000 wheels on it doesnt seem like a big deal now does it? Especially if you've kept it this long and have been loving every moment of it.

If it was up to you and your idea, why would you even fix up cars? Your putting a $10,000~ engine in a 3500 car? What if it gets totalled and you etc etc. Your contradicting your own logic.

Oh no I plan to get the car re-appraised when the motor swap is done.
So if it does get totalled I will get the money back. However more than half the people on here don't do that. Maybe I'd consider Volks/RAYS etc then because if they'd get stolen (and they probably will) I'd be able to recoup money from insurance for them.
But until then (which is 4-5 months) I'll just have rotas *Shrug*
