new rota boost & weight info

[ryanallan]

Just put on the new shoes. 17x8 +35 Rota boost with 245/40/17 in the front and 225/45/17 in the back.
Stock wheels w/ 205/55/16 Bridgestone re950 and stock lugs = 44lbs
Rota boost w/ 225/45/17 fusion ZRI and light weight lugs = 45lbs
Rota boost w/ 245/40/17 fusion ZRI and light weight lugs = 46lbs

Rota’s web site is quoting these wheels at 18lbs leaving one heavy tire...

As u may see from the pics, where the stock wheels hide inside the fenders, these wheels stick out quite a bit. It looks allot better as the car now has some attitude.
I haven’t tested them yet as it will snow on Tuesday and sadly the stockers will go back on today...

enjoy

Nice looking rims. Looks like you could use some 2 pots up front and drop springs. You've got serious monster truck look going on.

You need center caps also!

ya i really want the TCE willwood brake package, that should fill out the wheels nice and i guess a set of DSS coils would also be nice to have.
as for the center caps, they dont fit! i have yet to find a set that will. if any one knows, let me know

Sick..

definitely need 2 pistons up front or even the VR-4 calipers to fill out the wheel.

The rear looks kinda odd, shouldn't there be more camber to this wheel set?

Your welcome, glad you appreciate it I'm aware of the fact. Now go troll somewhere else.

My favorite wheels on my favorite DSM, now if only it had OE mudflaps, 235's, and lowered 2"..
