Rota Grid Classic

Post by andyroo »

I was pretty set on the Enkei Compe wheels, but just noticed these Rota Grid Classics. They look like a replica of Mike's awesome Volk TE37VSL (or the regular TE37V).

They also have bronze and purple.

Available in 15x7 +20 in 4x114.3. With some spacers you'd be good to go.

I'm still leaning towards the Enkeis, but these sure do look cool. Anyone go this route?

They are a replica of the Volk TE37V, visually. Totally different construction. One of many replicas Rota makes.

I just came back from SEMA and saw a straight up counterfeit VOLK TE37...it was unreal.

I know the inevitable "I can't afford real wheels" or "It's my money I skimped on wheels but I spent more elsewhere" etc etc. replies will ensue...but seriously why fake the funk on a nasty dunk? Nothing's wrong with OEM wheels, or spending the time to find the right set. Often cheaper than you think.

Ouch. That's ridiculous and sad. Also ridiculous for them to be shown at SEMA.

I think I'm going with the Enkeis.

I don't think Rota Grids in 15x7 +20 4/114.3 even exist. I think closest are in 15x8.

If anyone can send me a link to the above 15x7 + 20 4/114.3 I would appreciate it. I have not seen them. Phil?
My point is they may be listed under Rota site but I have yet to see them listed under any vendors. Ebay does not list any 4/114.3 in 15x7 only for 15x8. Scrolled thru many websites and I have not seen them.

According to the Zstore, 15x7 can be had in 4/114.3 but only in 0 offset. Special order 12-16 weeks. That won't work for most of us with stock setup.
