Im partial to the Super Rozza's they have always been my fav wheel ever since i first seen them on a widebody G35.

I saved up and i finally got them. I dont have pics on my car yet as its winter up here but! im running a 25 offset and 10 inch wide in the rear, needless to say the lip is huge, im running the same offsets / wheels / tire sizes as the acosta 8 below.

Does anyone know where to buy those Roja's for a cheaper price than Tire Rack if I decide I want these? Also, does anyone know if tire rack has to special order them, or are they already in a warehouse ready to be shipped? Thanks.

Bump. Guys I am still looking for some more opinions on these rims. It looks like I may be leaning toward the Roja's, but more opinions would be great.

ok. thanks... just wondering.
but for sure the relationship in terms of tires, advan/yokohama are the same.
but i wouldn't be surprised that enkei makes wheels for them...they are a huge reputable wheel company that oem's wheels for manufacturers.

either way, i like the wheel i spoke of earlier, but am a enkei wheel owner.

i don't really like the fourth wheel... gt-av???

they look fugly in my opinion, at least on a 8.

am surprised not more votes for the gt-c... they look nice on the 8, but kinda defeats the purpose of switching out oem 5 spoke for another 5 spoke...

You know what? I think I've changed my mind, I liked the Rojas before but the PIAAs have totally grown on me. They are pretty original. Either one is awesome though.

Like you I was also going through a wheel purchase choice. After pricing the Rojas and PIAAs on your post though...wow, I just bought 5Zigens

Hey Guys I think I have changed my mind on the wheels. I may end up buying a set of Volk GTS in 19x8.5 Gunmetal with probably a +43 offset. I don't want a huge lip, but I still want a little bigger than what RA eight has. I need to find the best deal on these because I need them by the middle of May. If anyone could help me find a good deal, that would be great. Thanks.
