Default ROTA Wheels

Is there an S owner out there that has any experience with ROTA wheels. I am not familiar with this brand.

In particular I am looking at the ROTA slipstream (which claims to weigh in at "just over 12 lbs"), and the ROTA Subzero at 14 lbs.

Also, can and '02 S2000 accommodate 17X7's??

ThanX in advance to anyone with an input!

hmm i'm pretty sure those weights are for the 15 and 16 inch sizes (which makes them just average).

they are a very inexpensive wheel that's popular with the import crowd and the auto-xers (because they're light for the price).

i'm not sure if they make offsets that fit the s2000, remember that this car has very unique wheel requirements. while many wheels will 'fit' some do fit far better then others!

I do not know anything about the wheels but a 17X7 will fit on the front if the offset is correct. I think it is too narrow for the rear.

Rota wheels are associated w/ Konig. I used to drive an integra and rota wheels we're getting really popular over on the integra boards. I never owned a set personally, but some of the konig owners claimed their rims said rota somewhere on the inside of the rim. It seems like the 17x7 size would be too small for the rear.

Hey, ThankX everyone for the response. I do appreciate you all taking your time to help me out.

I guess the next question is for JIM: What sizes and offsets are recommended for 16" and 17"?? I may stick with the stock size or maybe go with 17's.

ThankX again
