15x7" is a crappy size for our cars.

Going to Hawaii? You need a Dune Buggy.

WTB: 14x8 or 9" Panasports or Watanabe RS.

WTB: 3g Civic hatch gauge cowl, brown.

Unless they make these in a 13x7/6 I'm not even thinking about it. The aero covers in the pics are probably not installed properly, the original are the same way. I totally agree with Omega, 15x7 is not so good for these cars.

Even with my Houseman racing wide body and B18 engine installed, if I did buy a 15 inch wheel, it'd be at least 8 inches wide.

Where? I can't find'em. If I ever get any money, I'd love a set. Maybe I'll JDM the Sentra, or go with the blue lip for the Protege. wink.gif

Not only will the aero covers not fit the original Mugens, but they don't even fit their own wheels! Look at the pics:


I think an idiot set them up for the picture or something, but with 10 notches on the eddge of the aero cover and 4 bolts, I'm guessing you can turn the cover 90 degree left or right and get it lined up right.

Rota hasnt made anything but knockoffs. I really like rota, i really could give a rats ass about paying $1000-2000 for wheels that are just going to get, Stolen, Scratched, Curbed, or Ruined. Id rather have something that looks exactly the same, weights almost exactly the same, performs the same, and costs $400-500.

If i had a show car yea id probably buy a nice brand new set of Mugen MF8's or something, you can tell a difference in Mugen and Rota. But i drive my car, it gets raced and its going to get scratches and shit, id rather buy 2-3 sets of Rotas, than one set of Mugens. Dont get me wrong i love Mugens, Spoons, SSR ect and would absolutly love to own some sets but im not paying for them at this point.

I beg to differ with those that say 15x7 is a poor choice for our cars. I've got 15x7 Slips with Falken 205/50-15 and they are the shit, IMO.

For those who wish to do any kind of racing in street tire classes, the new BFGs in 195/50-15 and the Falkens in 205/50-15 are and awesome fit on a 15x7. Also, most of the good tires for street/dd use are 15"+.

I agree that 13s and 14s are more desirable, but the widths just aren't there, and there certainly aren't many good tires in the smaller sizes.

Oh, and as for the covers, I coudn't care less, they'd go in the box with all of my other center caps, never to be used.

be aware (or beware), that the EBAY auction most likely does not include the 'aero discs'.

I say 'most likely', because I emailed the seller and asked, and this is the reply:

"Rota center caps are included."

Sounds like he's avoiding the question, so I emailed a link to racinglab.com's photo of the disc.

Rota calls them the HM3's

for those who don't know, they're replica Super Advan Racing 3's (SAR3's)
-which are VERY rare in a 4x100 and always stupid $$...so these are an awesome alternative

Only colors I've seen are all silver and these (red/black)




+1 on spending tons of money for the real thing when they could just get stolen/curbed/whatever

I mean *maybe* on a show car, but def. not on a DD

Agreed .
I will get a set of these because my car will be a daily driver, and the roads here are terrible.

Im not going to condemn a set of originals to die on missouri roads.
