Before I bough t my rotas I did alot of research on sizes, offsets and, quality, and what they looked like. It seemed that a good number of other people were also looking for the same info, so i hope this help.
I bought a staggered set, 16x7 in the front and 16x8 in the rear from jlb motorsports. I ran 225/50/16 in the front and 245/45/16 in the rear, but after seeing them installed I think they would look better with a 45 and 40 series. I am not lowered so i don't have and rubbing issues, but if i was i definatly would. But a smaller tire combo and rolling the fenders should fix that i think. The sizes are 5x114.3 +45mm offset (FRONT) and 16x8" 5x114.3 +48mm offset (REAR).
well tell me what you think
I think they look great. I'm powdercoating my SPA's stock AP1 wheels slightly more gray, but not much, but am leaving the lip polished. Good choice of color!
you know thats funny you mention that, yesterday I saw the same thing on a silverstone in my area. It looked really good. the bad thing is, from a distance it kinda looks like really dirty rims, hehe.
Interesting that you don't have rubbing issues. I'm thinking about getting the Spoon SW388's in the same sizes (except +45 offset in the rear instead of +48). According to the "Wheel Fitment Guide" stickied thread, the minimum for 225 tires is +53 offset:

thanks man, I don't do any track or anything so I for everyday driving they should be fine. I dont have any problems now, but its close, even a 1 inch drop would give me problems though.
Looks good. I think Im going to get a set of these when it comes time to mount summer rubber next year. I like the way they sit pretty flush with the fenders when viewed from above. I'd probably go with the gloss black or gunmetal tho. But whatever, they look really good!
