Default rota grids, steel grey

i have been scouring the internet for rota grids in steel grey, 17x7.5, 5x100, but can't find them anywhere. so i am about to work out a deal with subydude to special order this color. but this means that i put down a deposit to get the special order in, and the only way to get it back is to have 2 other buyers. so please help me spread the word: "rota grids in steel grey!" and let me know if anyone's interested! thanks all!

you wont find much support here considering that size doesn't clear brembos.

try ClubWRX or Iclub, they like rotas over there.

Well it's good to see another knock fits.

I was previously under the impression the Grids were made for the WRX and didn't clear brembos. My Sincere apologies.

if these wheels aren't normally made and require more than 1 to be ordered why is it listed on the website?

I'll rephrase my original post:

you should also post on other forums since a small majority here can still run 5x100.

T3h_Clap - Almost every Rota wheel in Subaru fitment clears brembos. Apology accepted You probably shouldn't post about Rota's so often since you aren't too familiar with their fitment.

The Grid is a pretty old model so they are usually a special order wheel depending on the color. The Full Royal Sports Bronze that I had on my car is still pretty popular so they are usually in stock.

I agree that he should probably post on Nasioc if he is looking to gather interest for a 5x100 wheel.

You want me to stop helping people with rotas?

I always joked about doing that b/c I disagree with their business practices but I never thought I'd hear a vendor tell me to not help their customers with fitment questions.

People with Rotas I'll still gladly assist you with fitment questions if you have them.

I've seen 10+ threads while just browsing where you put down Rota's constantly for no reason at all. I'm sure if I searched I could pull up some more.

I'm also not a vendor, just a full time student right now.

There are many reasons to put rotas down, they range from low quality to knock-off designs.
