What if... Rota auto-x was deep dish?

asianrice02 · 09-02-2006, 10:06 PM

hypothetically speaking would you but them or would it interest you? kinda think out of the box away from the panasport or watanabe's. maybe some resemblense to geneitc wheels except that you can get it in any color of the rainbow that being rota.

to me the wheel looks good and is pretty different.

3uno5 · 09-02-2006, 10:13 PM

i dig it. minus the red, 18", and super deep dish and id buy em

09-02-2006, 10:38 PM

I'd cry when I got the first curb rash on that red lip.

airbrush1 · 09-02-2006, 11:16 PM

yeah with a 3" or larger lip..... they would be thuper hawt!

CrimsonMX5 · 09-02-2006, 11:21 PM

they are SSR type X copy's

HKSpowers · 09-02-2006, 11:24 PM

I like the colors, but I don't like the 4 spoke design.

I rember reading on Miata.net that if a certain amount of people want one of Rota's wheel in a custom size, bolt pattern, or offset Rota will make it. Kinda like a group buy.

here's the thread

turbored · 09-02-2006, 11:36 PM

i <3 SSR type Xs too bad the most aggresive offset you can get is +35 for them

We already have a couple group buys going here, check the group buy section

I think if the Auto X was deep dish it would look tight, but not in red with a black lip...or 18 inches tall, where did that come from :shock:

asianrice02 · 09-03-2006, 12:26 AM

i know there is black miata w/ silverish wheel like this in cali. i know you cali boys and gals are tight up there. you might recognice him/her

=D>

vicious-s · 09-03-2006, 05:28 PM

i'm not sure if a huge lip would work very well with the overall design of any 4-spoke wheel. i think they need to stay "flush", but still have a mean mean offset (at least +20).

i'd rather have super advans if i were going for the "less than 5 spoke" designs.

asianrice02 · 09-04-2006, 01:32 AM

it looks ninjaesque to me. ninja's are jdm right?

JDMAflac · 09-04-2006, 08:38 AM

I'd love it for mine to have a lower offset and a wider stance.

kotomile · 09-04-2006, 08:42 AM

I'd just get Work Equip 01s...

JDMAflac - you don't see SM2-N very often, lol.

JDMAflac · 09-04-2006, 10:14 AM

LOL, im a noob -_-

speedworks · 09-04-2006, 10:46 PM

i think that rota wheel would look really hot in something like an 18x8 0 offset with a polished lip and maybe bronze spokes. put that wheel on a miata with either a nice flare kit or a wide body and that would really set it off.

so, will rota really make any of there wheels custom? how many people need to buy in to get the custom size made? any info as to this? if this is true, would there be anyone interested in that specific rota wheel with the sizing i mentioned?

thanks
alex

airbrush1 · 09-04-2006, 11:46 PM

don't think many people would be up for an 18x8.......

16x8, or 17x8 maybe.....

Muzicman16 · 09-05-2006, 12:53 AM

i actually have those wheels in a 16 inch. . .not sure how wide. . .just waiting to find some nice rubber to put on them. i think they look shit hawt on a red miata. . .or even a black one

y8s · 09-05-2006, 01:27 PM

what about what?

Nah, then they probably would have been an exact replica. You can still spot differences in the two

djsqiigles · 09-07-2006, 01:32 AM

basic rule of thumb.Anything super deep dish is pretty much bomb.

now, if you want to think out of the box.

now add about 4 inchs of lip....

I win.
