I unfortunately can't buy Rota GTR's, in white, in anything less than 17" x 9J - So that's a no go.

 

[mike.williams]

i say keep your eye out for a set of genuine 2nd hand wheels

 

[kazmo]

of the 3 choices you have given, personally I would go with rota over xxr, colour isn't relevant, you can paint them any colour you want,

but what happened to the ''TE37 and no compromising'' I read in your gallery thread??? :xsmachbottom: lol

 

[LiamGTR]

There are literally NO TE37's for sale for love nor money. Yes I'm eating my words but not one to say I'm always right.

 

[mike.williams]

re spirit can import from japan, which includes auctions from yahoo japan

Love the neo chrome! Anyone sporting that colour on a CW here?

 

[PORTHOS]

I vote the Neo Chrome... although TBH that's a type of chameleon paint on the Rota's and not an actual 'Neo Chome' finish. There is no chrome on show.
They look sweet though

This is Neo Chrome, I think it's a type of chemical/acid dip:

I am sure I read somewhere that the Acid used is Illegal here in the UK so you have to get 'Neo Chrome' parts from the States.

Oh and the only thing I must point out, is 9 times out of 10 the concave spoke pattern you want on the DC5, normally ends up FLAT faced. So be sure to find a picture of the actual size/offset you are after. ESPECIALLY if you want semi concave spokes.

 

[Marshall-P]

Those look epic.

 

[LiamGTR]

Yea unfortunately that'll be the case, I know the pics are concave but with the ET our DC5's have there is simply no chance. Shame.

 

[LiamGTR]

Also the Neo Chrome are out, 8 week special order no returns. F'that.

 

[PORTHOS]

Just buy a cheap set and get someone to spray/refurbish them in a flip paint. It's only a Purple/Turquoise Flip.

 

[LiamGTR]

I'm waiting to hear back from RE regarding importing some TE37's, if they're just too expensive then I guess that'll be the next option.

I spoke to the closest Rota dealer to my house and they can only get Grid's in 17x7.5 ET45, I'm thinking ET45 will be hidden well within the arches?

 

[mike.williams]

Dave C runs concave 9" et50 all round with a 225/45 tyre, Very slight stretch to the tyre but there is that much meat that it doesnt look stupid and it obviously drives well because he has plenty of pony power

8 weeks isn't a long time to wait for parts really...

 

[LiamGTR]

8 weeks isn't a long time to wait for parts really...

It wasn't really the 8 weeks I was concerned with, it is fact that once you've bought them you don't have the option to return them/get a refund so you're then stuck with some £800 wheels you don't want/like and end up selling and losing money. No thanks. Whereas if I buy ANY of their other wheels/colours I can return them FOC If I don't like them when I see them in person.

 

[Stoo]

What wheels do YOU want?

 

[LiamGTR]

TE37's, but unfortunately don't think I'll pick a set up for a price I can afford, I seemed to get lucky with my last set

 

[Stoo]

Save until you can then.

 

[itrsarg]

I would save up aswell if its the te37s you really want

Don`t forget Liam that almost any white wheel will probably not match the CW of your car...you`d have to get them painted to be as close a finish as possible I`d think,David
