I really like these MXR's... too bad I can only get by with 18x8.5 or 18x8. Can't hang with your 9.5'ers.

I assume my stock STi suspension can't run anything wider without modification... which i would prefer not to do at the moment. I don't see the smaller sizes for sale anymore, maybe a used set if they were around before in 18x8

A timeless classic. The best non "aggressive" wheel.

I didn't know if you were on stock suspension or not!

I couldn't find them on the site, also I noticed the lip painted versus polished and the center is a satin black. Did he get them powder coated or was it a option with the order?
The most aggressive set up that we have is 18x10 +20. With that you can run 285's or even 295's. We do now know exactly how much work has to be done but to give you an idea, the STI running the 18x11 MXR's had to cut the inside lip of the Karlton flares to fit the wheels. We're guessing that you don't have to do that with the 18x10.

Anyway, those MXR's came in that color. It was an extra set for our sponsorship.

It is possible to get the 18x11 MXR's through a group buy. We will need a minimum of three sets to get the order going.

The 18x8.5 MXR's are coming in this October. The offset is +44 and will come in Hyper Black and Royal Silver. Give us a call if you would like to pre-order.

here's a thread where I am looking to trade my Rota P1's... pretty unique color pattern.

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...7#post34260617

Rota P1 5x114.3 18x8

Looking for maybe MXR, Formula mesh, etc. I like the wheels but just looking to make a low cost change to something new to me

New





They are still super clean and have no curb rashing whatsoever. one of the lug locations on each wheel might have a little scraping due to the locking nut socket, but that's the only imperfections on them.

So my 2.5 Week old Brand New Rota Titanium Chrome Grids has the chrome plating coming off one of the wheels. I am emailing Wheeldude immediately about this. I keep my car extremely clean and well kept. I was cleaning the vehicle today and saw a small spot. I ran my finger across it and the chrome plating began flaking off....



I have never used chemicals to clean the wheels and the residue is some wax.

Further out
