    Suggest / Request wheels!

    We're doing a spot of ordering at the moment...

    So we'd like some feedback - what would you guys like to see?

    Are there wheels we do that are the wrong size or fitment, or not the right colours?

    Have you seen Rotas online that we dont currently offer that you would like?

    Let us know, we're looking for more ideas to expand the range, tell us what you'd like to see!

    Cheers

    Ben

    Is the 19x10.5 Grid not a bit close to the GTR-D already, just with an extra spoke?

    GKRs aren't the biggest seller in 18", do you think many people would go for them in 19"?

    We do now have most wheels in Steelgrey available

    Also some original things are en-route, some prototype pics are around, I'll try and get a production one!

    *Edit: found a pic:

    Bump... Sort of expected more replies on this one even if it was only a slating or more piman-esque comments.

    Boosts and SVNs aren't likely, as they're not very popular and have been around for a long while. Grid-Vs however are on the cards

    I reckon some Nismo LMGT1 replicas would be nice, Blitz technospeed Z1's, Advan oni/A3A etc. Plenty nice rare rims which haven't been replicated (though might be down to copyright I don't know)?
    I'd make a suggestion regarding the design of both the GTR, CE28n rep and the GRID, the main thing I can't stand is that after the dish the spokes at the top come back out past the rim edge (well it certainly appears that way in pics), so in some pics they can look deep, but in real life they dont. and I reckon a bit closer to the TE37 19" design would be better - much like Varstoeen's take on it. A Dare RS-GT style rim would possibly also be a good seller?

    ooh, and some 17/18" advan 3 SA3R reps would be nice.

    The spokes dont come out past the lips on those wheels, it's only the Force where the outer edge sticks out a little.

    We do offer the Grid in 19" with the bit of dish:

    Thanks for the ideas and suggestions though

    Don't know if this helps really but I've been chuffed to bits with the Gunmetal Rota Gra 17s you supplied last year for the Impreza. 8K miles on them now and the only mark came from driving into something underwater during the flooding. Otherwise, they are still like new.

    The Prodrive 18s that came as OEM were kerbed to hell and out of round after 8K miles so the Rotas have already out-distanced them.

    I've been really pleased with the T1Rs on them too. Grip really well in the wet and the dry and are lasting well. You should fit them as standard

    The supplied wheel nuts and locking nuts have not proved very rust-resistent and are taking some keeping nice but I'm nit-picking now. You might like to see if you can improve the quality without a significant increase in cost. Even an extra £20 probably wouldn't really notice on the price of a set of wheels

    15inch 4114? It's a challenge as S13s are not hugely common, and nothing else really uses it I will make the suggestion though, if we could get a group buy together on them I could get some 15" 4x114 wheels done. We do have these already available however:

    Grid 15" 6.5" 4x114mm ET38 White 4
    AutoX 15" 6.5" 4x100mm, 4x114mm ET40 BlackRLip 22
    Grid 15" 6.5" 4x114mm ET38 RLGunmetal 4
    AutoX 15" 6.5" 4x100mm, 4x114mm ET40 White Red Lip 1
    MSR 15" 6.5" 4x100mm, 4x114mm ET40 Steel Grey 15
    MSR 15" 6.5" 4x100mm, 4x114mm ET40 White 20
    Circuit 10 15" 6.5" 4x100mm, 4x114mm ET40 White 4
    Slip 15" 7" 4x114mm ET40 Bronze 8
    Slip 15" 7" 4x114mm ET40 Flat Black 38
    Grid-V 15" 7" 4x114mm ET20 Bronze 8
    RKR 15" 8" 4x114mm ET0 Magnesium Black 16
    BM8 15" 8" 4x114mm ET0 Black Polished Face 16
    Zero 15" 8" 4x114mm ET10 Black Polished Face 18
    Grid-V 15" 8" 4x114mm ET0 Bronze 15
    Grid-V 15" 8" 4x114mm ET0 Black 4
    Aleica 15" 9" 4x114mm ET10 RLBronze 6
    Aleica 15" 9" 4x114mm ET10 RLPink 10


    T1Rs have been discontinued by Toyo now, so aren't so easy to get

    The nuts we dont actually charge for when they come with the wheels. It's hard to make nuts last, due to the nature of them. Even OEM ones dont last at all well. Tuner nuts are the best solution as they're internal drive, so they look tidier for longest

    Thanks for the feedback though! It's much appreciated.

    a metallic matte bronze colour like the Nismo wheels come in.

    I must say I was never really that impressed with the matte bronze on my grids I had, it just lacked a bit of class to it in my eyes.

    As for wheel choice, a dished 18" grid would be cool, similar to the GTR-D. Having every colour for every wheel would be good too.
