Rota wheels, Avon Tires

Post by Leadfoot »

These are the wheels and tires I ran on my Subaru the last part of last season. They should fit just about any modern Subaru except the '05 STi. The tires are mounted on the wheels, but I'll consider selling them separately.

The wheels are in pretty good shape--one has a couple scratches from falling over once. I'd take pictures, but they're double-bagged at the moment. Here are the wheels:

They're gold--not as pale as the photo makes them appear.

The tires are Avon Tech R, 225/45ZR17, race tires. I ran them in nine events and an Evolution school. One pair shows no grooves, the other still has a little tread left. No flat spots or cording. They've never been flipped.

If you're interested, drop me a line at rotas@dave.sill.org. If you have questions, post them here.

Any chance of putting the Rotas on the STi and selling the BBS's?

Are these the same bolt pattern as a regular wrx? 5X100.

Edit.. I see they are the same bolt pattern from the link you posted. How much are you asking?

I'm looking for $350 for the wheels and $150 for the tires. I may be way off on the tires, but they were $180 ea. and they've still got a few good runs in 'em.

I am interested in these wheels but i would like to come and look at them just to make sure the yellow and gold don't clash too awfully much. Are they 17x7 or 7.5? Not really interested in the tires though.

Don't let that stop you. We could sand them off and paint them gunmetal. They would look sweet. They are 17x7.5

You're welcome to check them out. Maybe I could meet you in Oak Ridge with one. E-mail me at rotas@dave.sill.org if you want to make arrangements.
