Track Wheels - Need helps decide :)
I'm thinking of getting a set of 18" Track wheels: 18x8.5 and 18x9.5
Rota Torque: 21lbs
Rota P45: 23-24lbs
Tires:
Falken RT-615 (245-40F, 275-35R)
But I can't decide which wheel and color to get to get. I don't know what will look right on my Red G35.
Any suggestion?
My current choices are:
Torques: Hyper Black or Full Royal Sport Bronze

P45: Flatback/Red lips (Time Attack style), Royal Steel Grey, or Hyper Silver

Thanks a lot guys and gals.

really? I don't have experience with Rota, so I don't know. Lots of Suby folks like them, so I figured they can't be that bad.
Also, I'm don't run much at tracks at all, 3-5 times a year. These will most likely be daily or winter beater instead

People like them cause they're cheap...they're not track wheels though. Why not get some used 350z Track model rims? Those would be perfect.

I have a set of OEM 18x8 wheels, but I want something staggered and wider so they'd provide better grips
Also, I've seen people tracked their cars with rotas, so that's why I thought theses'd be sufficient and lighter than my stock.

Not that I have experience, but there are a lot of pics floating around with spokes breaking off and stuff.

If you wanna risk it, go for it. They are cheap and will most likely do the job, but hope you don't feel bad if they break.

there's a lot of shit said about rotas in recent years, but the fact is, ever since i've been browsing forums, i've seen just one case of rotas breaking, and rota was quick to address the problem.
in fact, i've seen more incidents of "uber" wheels breaking.
not saying the highly revered wheels aren't worth it, but i think a lot of the rota hate is bangwagon hate.
