are the vents towards the front, i cant remember, and im too lazy to look it up.
if they are towards the back i haveto dig through hyper revs, uhg.



bah, felt bad looked it up, they copied the Top secret vents from another car and are reusing them for other cars just like the funky rx7 hood.

they're s1 spokes with sp1's rivets.

Those look real nice. I wouldn't mind having a cheap set of drift/track wheels.

I don't think that your shoes / sandals are OSHA certified, however...

Nice wheels! I used to have a set of ROTAs on my MAXIMA.

Carry on.

^ that's a dang good price.

But the market that Rota is aiming for are the people who don't want to pay that much for rims. They just want something that looks decent, doesn't mind the weight, and not too concerned about cracking the rim.

Not everyone can afford $3k wheels.

Unhappy Like the new color, maybe I should have waited

Ohhh Noes! A new color.....

It's kinda tough saving up for rims with three car payments and a mortgage. It was really tough trying to justify the cost of S1's to the wife who never purchased any aftermarket parts or modded any cars. So I compromised and got D2's. Sometimes the choice isn't yours alone. But I ditched the stockers and the horrible feathered potenza's. I also kept the peace at home.
I had her talked into it until she found out the 2600-3000 dollars didn't include shipping and tires, mounting, and balancing oh and BTW in springtime I'm gonna have to get new springs to lower it in the summer.

I wanted to wait till the car was clean (and not snowing ) but here's my D2's in gloss black











With a set of project kics R40's

Prior to the getting center caps




sorry the photoskills aren't the best either

The guys at Subydude.com were excellent to deal with and my order came earlier than they anticipated. I got a nice phone call that my order was going to ship early.

It's your Z, just as long as you and your family are happy with the wheels... that's all that matters.

Id love a set of meisters, but 3-5k for wheels and tires? wow, id rather have these for around 2k with tires. Afterall, i only want rims to get some nice fat tires in the back and fill out all the fender. I dont track the car (plan on, but prolly a 1-2x year deal), its my DD and i work in hollywood.. cant justify spending the money on works since there more than likely to get thrashed and such. Besides, id much rather spend that 5k on a supercharger fund...
