Off topic, but:It's shit like this that makes me wonder why anyone would want to swap out a pignose front end.

 

I know, I love the pignose front ends...but the Type X front end looks so damn good too, haha...but it costs like 6-700 dollars.



RougeWolf240...here are some resonably priced wheels that would fit well on the car - these are 16X7s +0, I'd prefer bigger personally, but they should fit well if you can't find anything else these would at least look good:

These are 5 lug:

As are these:

You can get a 5 lug conversion for 450, or order about 250 dollars worth or spacers and get spacer converted 5 lug, but it will make these wheels (and the ones above) stick out further then your fender, so you'll need to pull the fenders...it will look good though:

These are availble in 4 lug...they are Work S1 knock offs, 17x8.5 +20 is the offset and width you'd want:

I have been curious to see how their new sizes look on 240s because their original size was 17X7.5 +25 and they did not look good, these should look way better.

Anyway, I can show you some wheels other then Rotas if you like, but those are going to be the most cost effective.

 

look at rbmotoring, don't be cheap and buy shitty wheels. I'd rather have a used pair of high quality wheels than a new pair of shit wheels. Expect to spend 800-1200 (and can go much higher) for some 17s with a good offset of used wheels.

 

Rotas arn't shit wheels...they make affordable well constructed wheels. They are cheap beacuse they are not imported, there is a US manufacturing plant, as well as one in the Phillipenes and the UK. Rota makes OEM wheels for Mercadies as well as Toyota and a lot of other car companies...there was a thread on here earlier today about it. People need to stop spreading hear say about crap other people say because they are pissed they spend too much on wheels.

 

i don't like rotas because they are a complete knock off of all other wheels companies. Not 1 design is their own style, they are all duplicated of nice wheels and generally offer shitty sizes/widths and even worse offsets.

 

This is confusing coming from someone who just did that exact thing here:And here:
All false. I don't mean to bring this thread off topic but before you come to Rota's defense maybe you should check the validity of what you may have read or heard.

 

The last quote you have of me is from Grassroots Motorsports. The second quote is an inferance I made off of their website, upon a second reviewing there is not a manufacturing plant in the US, but some designing that takes place in the US and UK. And I think if people want to argue about this more all they need to do is make a SPO thread rather then have 8 threads scattered around drag.

 

i know this is off topic, but who bought this car? i thought it was sexy but i didn't have enough $$$

 

well lookin at rotas im likin the D2s
