I want to stay in 16'' but I dont want to put 7'' rims for the rear set-up...

The ''BOOST'' models are sick!!

The SS with the red lip are cute.
K im also wondering about this, on ebay there are some 17in rota boosts that say they are for s2000. This look like such a hot wheel for a great price but im just worried if they will fit right. does anybody have them on a s2k yet?

I would not contend to the fact that the higher priced wheels will have a tendency to outlast a blow but the same "omg those rotas totally separated they are going to break just because I have a picture of one doing that" attitude from certain people is getting rather old.

I remember reading somewhere that either iForge or HRE (cant remember which company) is banned from track use when added to the equation of "look what wheels I have on my Dodge Viper for track use" due to them coming apart on Vipers. Track officals don't want another possible crash on their hands from the wheels, so they said viper owners cannot use them on the their track. If that is really the matter then Emils argument that money means quality no matter what has just been boom headshot'd. Now if I am wrong then I will take it back but I seem to remember reading that a couple months ago.

^^^
HRE's are banned from track use.


I have the Boost on my car.

NOT TRYING TO PROMOTE A SALE, BUT THE ONLY PICTURES I HAVE ARE IN MY F/T THREAD.

Here it is:

They only rub with a drop. The reason being is because the rear tires (255s) I put on are too wide. With a 245 rear, they will not rub with or without a drop.

Comming from a Subaru i would say 90% of the population runs Rotas.

I think Subie owners put their cars thru more abuse then an S2000 owner.

I've had 5 sets and they all treated me fine.

If you're looking for a wheel other then stock, not always the lightest then Rota's are fine.

Some are decent track wheels though. But I would never hesitate to buy a Rota.


There are a few sets of wheels out for the S that Rota makes just gota make a few calls.
