Mashup: Turbomac and Titan = Perfection

[kona16]

I guess I have to post up my new set up... 17 x 8, 40mm offset with 215/40 x 17s. I was keeping it on the "down low" but I think others are catching on...




Everything about this set up is perfect to me. Right ride height for my daily, fills the wells, offset spot on, drop is right and best of all no rubbing!

Are those available in any other color?

 

[ac22rush]

From what I've seen they are in all the colors ROTA's normally come in.

um what? i've never seen those before.

I have only seen Steel Gray (mine), White and Magnesium Black (flat grayish)
Not sure what is available in 4 x 108. They are not easy to get in the US but you can look at the UK sites for some info and colors. FYI, the UK sites cannot ship to the US, I tried most of them.

They are all over Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROTA-WHEEL-...-FORD-FOCUS-LIGHTWEIGHT-17-LBS-/302234825367/

This guys got a few different options.

They were not available when I ordered mine. I guess the cats out of the bag...

GRRRRR.....we bought them from the same company. I was hoping to be the first one with them on a Fist but I've been on the road for a month and they are sitting in my basement.
Apparently after I contacted them and had them special order they got five sets in each color and put them for sale on eBay....tears!
Oh well they look good hopefully I can be the first with them on magnetic!
Congrats!

Someone just mentioned these Rota Recce wheels in my thread since I just got the Titans. I'm really liking the options being offered by Rota.

You know what they say. If someone is first, there has to be followers close behind, otherwise youre running a race no one else deems worth running. You may not be the only, but you can take solice in the fact that a few people here on our mighty FiST forum know you were numero uno.

Looks good. What springs/coils are you on?

 

[twomonkeysayoyo]

I've been looking at these for about a week but can't find any info on wheel weight. Can you stick one of those you've got in the basement on a scale?

Thanks for the kind words j2FiST...

Mountune springs, good enough for my daily driver. Very happy with set up all around.

I asked everyone on earth about the weight, here and in the UK. They came into my alignment / wheel guy so I didn't have them at home to weigh before mount and balance. Best answer I got was they are similar to the Grids which are around 19 lbs. So lighter then stock and with an 8" width.

OffTheWall503, just want to throw a thanks your way. I have been following your thread and purchased the same tires. I wanted to make sure I did not rub and studied all the different 215/40 x 17s I could find. The PS31 had a reasonable tread width, newer design and so far are fitting and working out well. Not everyone checks the section width and tread width when picking tires, just size, there is a big difference.

That was the reason I picked that particular tire, I'm glad it's also working for you.

I wanted to get the stickier Federal tires but it's hard to justify a pure Summer tire when we get all kinds of colder weather and rain even during the summer months, plus I need them to at least last a few seasons.
