The Infidel Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 This is relevant to my interests! Ive yet to see them on an s30 car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai7one Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I seriously considered going with the TBTs on my Z, but without being able to actually see them on the car, I chickened out. Went with the SPD zuka wheels from japngarage instead. I love the zukas but still wonder how the TBTs would have looked. Maybe if they had additional finish/color options they might be more popular. Also seems like Rota needs to do better at marketing. Hey Rota send me a set of TBTs and I will be happy to get some installed-on-Z pictures out there!!!

Neverdone Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That's the only car I could find with them on. They look really similar to a wheel that does the same pattern but in 5-star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That's a good looking wheel. Hoping it comes in 16/17". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Aesthetics aside, the appeal is that a 4-lug pattern is propagated into the webbing of the wheel. I'm not a structural engineer, but intuition suggests that such usage of a 4-pattern makes possible a lighter/stronger wheel, than if the lug-pattern were ignored (meaning, for example, a 5-spoke wheel in 4-lug pattern). Unfortunately this wheel does not appear on Rota's web site, http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.php . A simpleminded Google search reveals an offering from Amazon, in 15x8, but unfortunately in the Miata lug spacing, 4x100mm: https://www.amazon.com/NEW-ROTA-TBT-15X8-PCD/dp/B01DB7M8R6 . Has anyone seen this wheel in 4x114.3? Or any specs on weight? Edited September 1, 2016 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai7one Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 They had some on eBay in the 4x114.3 pattern. Not there anymore, but they will probably pop back up again in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
