Thinking of downsizing wheels

I am thinking about switching to 18’s to give me a better choice in summer tires over the 19’s

I am thinking about going with a set of rota torque’s in “time attack” I had a TA stripe on my car before and liked it, thinking about going back…

Currently the car has 19" CSL matte black wheels

How are the rota’s now? ive been hearing mixed things as of late

I thought your brakes were to big to switch

Go back to the silver wheels that were on the car when you bought it :tup:

:slight_smile:

I LOOOVVVEEE how your current wheels look on your car but in the sake of performance and tire options, a size down would work.

I feel going with Rotas would be a disservice to your car but whatever makes you happy…

word, go back to the Ch’s… or do something manly and run a 18x9.5 ET35 setup

EDIT: or find a set of used RAC RS110’s 18x10 style that have been floating around, then run a square street setup

I downzied from a stoptech 15" front/14" rear BBK to a 14" F/R rotora setup last winter… but never downsized the wheels

im really getting tired of the ride on the 19’s and i have some big performance stuff in the garage waiting to be installed, and i am hoping to get better tires then are available for 19’s

+1

Anyone still have a picture of his car as it was when he got it?

somebody recommended these for me, but think they would work great for you:

maybe grey:

how much are those rotas in 18s?

i am NOT going back to silver BBS CH’s … sorry

the only silver wheels i would consider would be BBS LM’s but i dont have the coin for that… want to stay with a black wheel…

how about some bronze LM reps… haha

Havnt talked to mike @ innovative yet, but usuaully ~ 700 bux for a staggered setup

Ok, see you in 6 months to a year when you’re asking what rims to get to replace the ones you’re going to buy as a result of this thread. I’ll be sure to suggest silver again. If the image of your car from when you bought it is still up I’ll probably even post it again. :stuck_out_tongue:

Do the make the Work Emotion in your bolt pattern/size you are looking for? Those are the wheel that the rota is “duplicating”

X…

no, they dont… they do make custom bolt patterns… but i dont want too even think how much that would cost me

Assuming this is the same car I vote DPE’s again.

Yea, that is my car… i wont be going with DPE’s again… they shake too much in the rain, and i cant run them in the winter… and im over the deep lip look

JayS nailed it. :tup:

Track down some gunmetal CH’s I like them so much better then the silver ones. I have a set on my M5. :slight_smile:

??? I don’t think I’ve ever heard this one before…
