I always loved the look of staggered sets of wheels on the Z31!





Here they are on a Mazda RX-7:

How much are they?

pricing is not finalized but usually the 18" wheels go from $650-$950

depending on sizes and color options.

compared to other wheels not bad. Some guys spend 3 times that and still add spacers!

I was willing to get wheels for up to $975 but staggered for that RWD aggressive look/stance.

Here is a link showing the way rotas are made.

I didn't read the propoganda, but it looks like they use low pressure casting

usually produces less flaws but also softer wheels

I was thinking:

18x8.5 fronts in +22mm offset
18x9.5 rears in +26mm offset

Why so big offset?
-+0mm offset would be better for that size wheels.


Atlease in facelift :mrgreen:
(I have 9" ET20 front and rear.. ET0 would look much better.)

which wheels were the +20?

I based it so it a one size fits all according to the AZ-Bum charts.

I mean, +20 all around would be bad

I can change that.

suggestions?

I am working on it, that and the offset. trying to get concensus of what offset we need for all 84-89 z31's

also what colors are people interested in?

I like Hyperblack with polished lip or Bronze with polished lip.

[Rick88ss]

That price you put up there is for the set of 4 right?
I think the offset you chose would fit perfect
I currently have F 17x8.5 e25 R 17x9.5 e20 without any spacers and heres
how they look




These are the ones I like but they are 3 piece and cost around $650 each and look alot like the Rota D2 below for a fraction of the cost

yes, the Rota D2 was made for RWd vehicles primarily in the staggered fitments. I always liked the SSR Professors sp1, but i too cringe at paying $650/wheel!

Rota listened and mocked up a popular wheel and did a nice job at it!

I know the staggered P45F/R goes for $875+ for the set!

these should be no different since rota doesn't charge extra for custom sets of wheels rather style, size and finishes.
