Well. yea the prize isn't that great, but here's the deal.
I've been deciding on a new rim tire package, and it has come down to the Rota Subzero 17" Royal black 48mm offset, with 114.3 (i believe thats the lug), and 215/50/R17 Falken ziex (stock tire size because potholes love my area).
Anyways, no one seems to be stocking them at this time, not even our beloved Tireswap! I'm going to buy from him, but I'm in dire need of these ASAP. If anyone know where I can pick these up let me know. Iv'e called every internet dealer, and no dice. Ugh...

http://www.machiii.net/wheels/rota_subzero.html

I've ordered my wheels through them. Great customer service. They only have them in 17x7.5 5x114.3 with a +45 offset. The +48 offset is for 5x100 only. They have it in black and black with polished lip (Royal black).

$550 shipped.

if i go with my current tire/wheel setup but get a 45mm offset, will i rub? that why i opted for the 48mm.

also, we can only use the 5x114.3? or is there some sort of adapter to fit the 5X100?

I could have swore I've seen the 48mm offset with our bolt size. Regardless, do you think I'll rub 84FordMan? How is your setup?


UCLeadGuitar, i thought i read somewhere that they made adapters, or maybe I'm confusing this with something else?

You can use an adapter but it changes the offset need by pushing out the area where the wheel attaches to the hub. So by adding one of these then technically you would need even more of a higher offset wheel to have the wheel fit into the well.

Here is one site that sells them: http://www.ezaccessory.com/.sc/ms/cat/1111...heel%20Adapters

I don't think you will, it's only 17x7.5. I know others who run a 8" width with +45 offset and little to no issues.

Hm, maybe I'll settle for the +45mm then. I just don't wanna order a set of rims and begin to rub constantly, I like to have a full packed car many times...
