Post by: jaffa on October 20, 2013, 11:15:17 pm: Iv wanted some grids for a while, my brother bought some ROTA G-Force that i have fitted to my car and they are lovely wheels and light too

Post by: Tejinder on October 21, 2013, 12:53:08 am: Yeah another good reason to get rotas, they are usually very lightweight.

Only 2-3lbs heavier than OZ ultra/superleggera IIRC.

Post by: toosmiles on October 21, 2013, 08:22:06 pm: very nice m8
whats it like with the wobble bolts on?
fitting etc?
i was gonna get some 5x100 to go on my 5x112

Post by: jaffa on October 21, 2013, 08:26:09 pm: Fitting is fine you just have to tighten them in a star pattern a little bit at a time.

If you were thinking you could use wobble bolts for 5x100 to 5x112 you can't, you would need to use adapters as wobble bolts only give you around 2mm of play

Any spacers on the rear? stance looks very nice
Title: Re: Anyone have 18" Rota Grids on their MK5? (pics)
Post by: jaffa on October 24, 2013, 11:53:36 pm: no spacers just some camber from having other wheels fitted and very minimal stretch with a 225/40 on an 8.5 :happy2:
