14" Rota/Jap Alloys (Is there any?)

[C0llis0n]

Hey guys. Been searching for a while now and im quite keen on getting a hold of some 14" Jap Branded alloys. I like the majority of Rota's styles but I just cant seem to find any 14" ! Does anybody know if they actually excist?

Thanks, Joe.

na mate i think its mainly 15" have you had a look on the offical rota site? there isnt much differane to 14" to a set of 15's with 195/45/15's and fills the arch's better (Y)

 

[C0llis0n]

I found a couple on the Rota site. May fill the arches better but I dont want mess with the speedo too much.

Also the car will be dropped by 60mm so Its bound to scrape eh.

why dont they make these in 14"!

Look for proper japanese wheels instead of rota's (they copy most of the japanese wheels)

Bit of info on japanese wheels. And when I come back, ill post a link to the japanese yahoo auction site, Where you can pick up a great set of wheels, add shipping charges, and cost less than a #### set from halfords.

The last place I intended on going was halfords

Thanks for the info, Ill have a read.

collison, there the same wheels i have, so if you get them i'll have to get rid of mine he he

15's dont mess with the speedo (dont know where you got that from) and whats wrong with it being lowerd 60mm on 15's? ive had and seen a few micras lowerd 80-100mm on 15's and there wasnt/isnt issuses with scraping

like i said there isnt much differance in looks between the 14's and 15's visualy

huuum. Ill have a think about that then. Cheers Micras. Like I say I really like the design of the GT3's so that could be my only option.

this isint too relevant but i remember it was either brainiac or top gear (two very reputable sources if your a man) and they did a survey on how different size wheels affected speedo readings and although they did affect it, the differences were near irrelevant on even dramatically different sizes, so i wouldnt let that put you off the wheels you want.

i wont suggest a wheel style though as i have shocking taste im told lol

the gt-3's with the gold face think the gold would look well with your green

Thanks Andy, ah right well the info I was told a while back was a bunch of bull then! Yer would look nice, Im edging on to a black with the crome lip though, huuuum....
