View Full Version : rota sub zeros BangorXB 02-13-2005, 08:24 PM i think i have narrowed my search down to these wheels. but i am wondering if anyone has them and has a pic they would like to share so i can see them on an xb. thanks in advance mike phantomxa 02-14-2005, 05:32 AM I know this isnt on an xb like you asked but im not sure who else is running on these. They are 16x7 flat gunmetal subzero's on yokohama avs es100 205/50/16 wheel offset is +40 but im running spacer shims on rear. bought em for $105 per wheel on ebay. http://img99.exs.cx/img99/8423/scionandcivicpics0278kb.jpg mikochu 02-14-2005, 10:23 AM They are 16x7 flat gunmetal subzero's on yokohama avs es100 205/50/16 wheel offset is +40 but im running spacer shims on rear. You aren't running the 10mm and 5mm wheel spacers, too? BangorXB 02-14-2005, 01:33 PM phantomxa...those look pretty nice on yuor xa...thanks for the pic...like u said not an xb, but close enough for me :) mike camoboXb 02-14-2005, 06:59 PM http://www.tein.com/ti/img/al422.jpg willwrk4chicken 02-14-2005, 07:13 PM Those rota wheels look great on the xa & xb!!! I ran 16" bronze rota circuit-10's on my box for a while. They were from my acura integra. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it sort of grew on me. unlmtdndeavor 02-14-2005, 07:26 PM http://www.tein.com/ti/img/al422.jpg those dont look like rota subzero's to me...correct me if im wrong but doesnt the subzero's spokes come to a bend before they make contact with the lip? itzjere 02-14-2005, 07:38 PM I think those are the Enkei version of the Rotas.. but yea, I noticed that as well.. camoboXb 02-14-2005, 07:40 PM those dont look like rota subzero's to me...correct me if im wrong but doesnt the subzero's spokes come to a bend before they make contact with the lip? they might not in fact be subzero's. i believe they are the rim design that rota "borowed" for the subzero. that pic is from the tein website.... i know that car belongs to someone on the boards. ugly_duck 02-14-2005, 09:58 PM The subzer was origanally a Konig design. Check out their website. Yes those are not sub zeros and yes they are pretty much the same. You get the gist. Dont rotas come in higher offsets and except for the subzero 17" is almost the same. AmericanIST 02-15-2005, 05:52 AM BangorXB, where are you purchasing your Rotas from? I was thinking of getting some rotas and was looking for the best price. The best prices I've found are www.machiii.net and www.wheeldude.com. If you haven't checked these sites already, check them out. By the way I am not affiliated with any of the above sites lol. squirrel 02-15-2005, 02:37 PM I have Rota 18 inch Subzeros on my Matrix, but not on the xB. I like the wheels alot, plus the S-03s aren't bad either. Nice ride phantomxA! BangorXB 02-15-2005, 05:12 PM BangorXB, where are you purchasing your Rotas from?

Actually--the Konig/Rota version is based off of the original RACING HART CP-035s PandaIst 02-15-2005, 09:23 PM Actually--the Konig/Rota version is based off of the original RACING HART CP-035s That's the right answer, rota makes replica rims while racing hart has the original design. Thanks JDMxB for the correct answer. If he wasn't going to say it, i was...hehe :P ugly_duck 02-15-2005, 09:43 PM Dont blame Rota, RH sells their molds and rota buys them. Dont hate the player hate the game. PandaIst 02-15-2005, 10:00 PM I wasn't blaming rota at all. I never was dissing and hating on them. The facts just needed to be correct. They make good quality cast rims at a very low price. I knew that they buy molds from various companies. Some people will always dislike rota because they make replicas, but for myself I wouldn't care. If people continue to buy them, the demand will always be there. On the other hand, if i had the money I'd always buy originals, but since i'm on a tight mad budget I bought rotas. Yes, I rock rotas. mikochu 02-15-2005, 10:05 PM The Auto X wheels come in other finishes other than black with red lip? Neat. PandaIst 02-15-2005, 10:21 PM Yes sir, they come in 5 colors. I was at one point thinking of black w/ red lip but i knew i would get tired of that color really quick. squirrel 02-15-2005, 10:40 PM I like my Subzeros, I didn't even know about the CP-035s when I bought them over a year and a half ago. I first saw them on a suby and decided to get a set. ugly_duck 02-16-2005, 12:46 AM hey squirrel do you have any pics of your subzeros, phantomxa 02-16-2005, 07:28 AM i was running the 10mm spacers in addintion to the shim kit but i somehow lost one of the spacers when i moved into my new apartment. So all i have on the xa are the shims. The rear is still tucked in big time[/img] unlmtdndeavor 02-16-2005, 08:49 AM if you want nice wheels go with the racing hart cp035r's...fully polished wheel http://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/racing_hart_cp035r_pol_lg.jpg squirrel 02-16-2005, 03:54 PM hey squirrel do you have any pics of your subzeros, Ask, and you shall receive: http://homepage.mac.com/twilkers/.Pictures/Rolla%3A2FMatrix/cars22.jpg If the pic doesn't show, here's the link: http://homepage.mac.com/twilkers/.Pictures/Rolla%3A2FMatrix/cars22.jpg ugly_duck 02-16-2005, 04:05 PM Thanks, you still have your matrix? unlmtdndeavor 02-16-2005, 07:55 PM Thanks, you still have your matrix? i believe he does. i wish i had 2 cars ugly_duck 02-16-2005, 09:55 PM i have my xb and a sentra spec-v |
