They are 18" Rota Sub-Zero's (Bronze). What do you think.

I like them, how heavy?

 

ONLY 19 lbs (18x7.5 +48mm offset)

 

so you finally decided on a dark wheel...not bad, but I'm not a big fan of the ROTA brand name. Something about it just says cheap. but they are light, right?

 

Very light, and they seem to be good quality. So far I only have good things to say about them. If they turn out not to be good I will post & let everyone know. I am not too focused on the brand name, what's important to me is that they are light & do not bend.

 

how much per rim?

 

I like em. Looks raceeee.

 

for $590 /set is very good price.. I paid $860 for my Konig set!

for $270 less that is great!

 

those are so nice straight j spec...i now know that there are true heads on this board....i hope everyone copies this like they did the heavy chrome 19zz that made everyones rides look like camel jockey mobiles..tasteless shit....this is a nice set up and it looks good on the white ride...lets see some flat black and gunmetal...spoon like rims...

 

Thanks for the compliments Dafmann. I've been getting mixed emotions from people that I see them, but the majority of people like them a lot. Thanks again.

 

i like it, i just think u should u've gotten one w/ silver lip and hyperblack

it would looks so sick while moving

 

Most of Rota's current hot products are copies of existing wheels. The subzero is an obvious copy of RacingHart. The Circuit 8 is a copy off of Mugen. I believe the Slipstream is a copy off of Spoon.

I've seen people using Rota products at autocrosses with good results. But let me qualify that... I've seen them on Miatas and 240SX's in 15" or 16" with rock-hard-sidewalled race tires on smooth asphalt/or concrete, running 40psi+.

I would imagine that would be a different application than putting them on a 3500lb+ car with most of that mass biased over one end in 18" with short and soft sidewalls containing daily-driver air pressures. I'd be considerably less worried if you were trying to run them in the stock 17" diameter. But you should contact Rota directly and inquire about the load rating of those rims for the specs (diameter, offset, bolt circle, width) you need.

 

those would look good on a blk cl. were they avail in wht? white on white looks incredible.

 

Thanks for the advice, but right now I think it's a little too late. I will find out from experience at this point, whether they will hold up or not. Fortunately, the roads here in Florida are pretty smooth.

 

They do come in white & I agree they would look good, but I wanted something dark.

 

white on white looks like somethin i'd see on a civic...

 

black with silver lip!!

 

nice rim...but the color makes it look like they are dirty all the time

 

At least I don't have to clean them

 

lookin good

 

I like your old wheels better.

 

Thanks for your honesty & I appreciate you not flaming. I expected that some people might not like the color, but I like to be different. Almost everyone has polished or chrome rims. It's not everyday you will see a CL-S with this color rim.

 

Looks good! I usually don't like white cars but those wheels give it a mean look.

 

Thanks for the compliment

 

hey SFLA, i was wondering, where do u get ur phillips 6000k bulbs and how much are they?....also, does it make a big difference in color?

thanks

 

I bought them on Ebay about 6 months ago. I don't remember the link, but you can probably search. I paid about $259 for the pair.

The color is has more of a purplish hue compared to stock. They look really good in color, but are slightly less bright compared to stock. (nothing to complain about though) Here is a picture

 

nos? You gotta be joking; auto trannies don't hold up lol.

 

Guess I've been lucky, thanks for your concern.

 

were they easy to install?? like regular halogen bulbs? or do u need special tools/kits? and if so, what is it?

thanks!

 

It is very easy to change, very similar to changing a regular halogen bulb. However you will need a special T20 Tamper Proof Security Bit to remove the weatherproof housing.

 

your car looks really good

 

Thanks

 

sorry bout that, didn't realize that they didn't make the gunmetal w/polished lip....but hey did u get those 03 headlights put in yet?post some pics

 

Yes they are already installed. I will post pictures soon. They look amazing

 

Not the look I'd go for with a CL, esp if I was in bling-bling infatuated florida, but at least they are functional...i'have a deal on some RH CP-035's in 17x7.5 for only $750! so maybe i'll be copping a set soon.
