I recently purchased my 92 SC3 with the ugliest wheels I could possibly imagine on this car. I have been looking for a new set for awhile now and was trying to hold out for some G35 18's, Enkei NT03+M's, or Rota Grids, but found these locally today and could not pass it up.

Ugly Wheels



Set of 4 Rota Torque's 18x8 +35 with BFG R1 DOT-R 245-40-18 on all corners







Cant test fit them today as the guy I bought car from apparently did not include the wheel lock key, so hopefully I can get them on tomorrow. Needless to say, I am pretty stoked to get some proper tires on this car.


And speaking of wheels, just installed this a few days ago.



Thanks,
Rick

 

first off, those aren't the ugliest wheels imaginable (they do deserve top 10, though).
Second, l dig the wheels, curious how the paint colors will match. (If you wanna trade the rotas for some g35 sedan 18's that look like the rays, drive on over, we'll swap! lol).


oh, one last thing:

LOL thanks, yeah maybe they are not the absolute ugliest, but I just hated how they made the car look so cheap. And I am very interested to see how they look mounted up, still need to order in some hub centric rings before I drive around on them, but I should be able to mount them tomorrow and will post some pics. Also, I am still looking for some G35 wheels and will not hesitate to buy a set if the price is right.

and yes, most people hate on Rotas, which is just fine by me. GST's time attack car runs on the Grids and they beat on them pretty hard and they are still kicking.



Still would rather have OEM 18's or some higher end aftermarkets, but these Rotas should work for the time being.


Thanks,
Rick

 

Ugliest wheels? yup, so congrats on the new rim score!

 

I agree, those wheels were pretty ef'ng ugly, lol...congrats on a better set of wheels!

 

Nice new wheels. I didn't know people hate on Rotas. I've got some now and I hear nothing but good this about them. Did you look every where for the key? I found the one for my parts car under the carpet in the trunk .

 

Cant wait to see the pics with the new wheels on it.

 

The old wheels weren't ugly at all. Just the wrong size.

 

is that an is300 wheel?

 

Those arent that bad, if you want to float goin over the spped bumps and pot holes... The new ones are an improvement over those...

 

looks like an is300 steering wheel to me

 

those are P45Rs

the sc will look 50x better with the torques on tho

 

oops, they looked like grids to me lol I was not able to fit the wheels yet as I had to help a friend of mine with his evo yesterday, but I did get them all filled with air.

Bought the wheel lock key Friday night and put 1 on just to see, it is low and air and dirty as ****, but I think it is a huge improvement.



It is snowing today so looks like I wont get decent pictures until the weather clears up.


And yes, that is a IS300 steering wheel, installed that along with the steering rack bushing and a new fan clutch, literally a night and day difference in feel and response, not to mention it looks great.

 

i like those work cr kai style rotas... i would have gone wider

 

Mounted them up today.
