I use Rota SDX's on my road wheels and Rota Boosts on my track wheels. No issues apart from one slightly buckled wheel from the roads around London but that will happen to any wheel I use. ;)

I think i can go ET45 and 7.5" without problem, even with a small suspension drop.
None at all. :mrgreen:

If you can get them, they already come in dark grey (anthracite) and lower your car, that would be epic. 8-)
Look cool but 16x6.5 :|



OEM wheels are 16 x 6.5 :twisted:

16" is the win as far as I know.

all depends on the alloy imo

rota slips look good in 16"

but some wheels just look too small

^ yeah!

Saw on AccordR forums some guy selling some slipstreams I think, look really good on the ATR even though they're 16, but the EuroR wheels look too small IMO.

I've got (that I need to get rid of soon) a set of standard 18" RX-8 alloys.

And these ones (17"):

Both sets would need a refurb.
