Hey all. after my buddyclubs got mashed I am looking for an affordable set of wheels and came across these koya RB

wheels. they look awsome and have an old skool flavour i like a lot.

my application is an R32 with 4 x 114.3 stud pattern. They also have to clear 296mm rotors with GTR callipers. but the offsets look to be a bit of a problem. I am looking at getting:

17 x 8.5 with + 4 for the front and my guards are stock. to these I want to fit 235's

17 x 9.6 with -19 for the rear and my guards are lipped and rolled 1 inch. and to these I will be fitting 255 semi's

Will these fit? can someone shed some light on the offsets? I am having trouble working it all out.

also does anyone know who else stocks them apart from otomoto? if these is a place in melbourne that would be great!

thanks!

Just to clarify, you have an r32 with 4 stud?

I just fitted 18x8.5 front to my r32 gtst at +30 and 18x9.5 rear +35 with rolled rear guards and they are fine at 100 mm ground clearance. if that helps.

So with +4 front and -19 rear you will need to have wide body guards to the tune of +20mm front and +60mm rear......

You could try and find the genuine article instead of ROTA copies, and get a wheel that doesn't have a reputation for breaking.

See if anyone's selling used Watanabes, if you want that JDM flavour. Minilites only seem to come in small sizes, like the Konig Rewind.

lolwtf... i've hardly heard of rota wheels.. are they really that bad?

Yes, they are. They're made in the Phillipines, a country not exactly known for its manufacturing quality.

If you're just ricing it on the street in a low powered car then they're fine, but I wouldn't run them on a good car being driven properly.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
