Hey Wheel dude, just wondering why you guys have never made a 19 inch torque wheel? Is it because they would be too heavy? Not very durable? It seems to me they would be pretty popular around here if the cost was kept down.

As of right now there is not a mold for a 19" Torque wheel. I haven't had too many people inquire about a large Torque wheel, usually we get requests for a 19" P45R wheel which we have been discussing with Rota. Definately not an issue with weight as the 18x9.5 Torque R is only 21 lbs in the higher offsets and 22 lbs in the +20 offset. The 18x9.5 has also proven to be extremely durable and is JWL/VIA certified as are our other Rota wheels for the Z. One of the Time Attack cars we sponsor is the GST Motorsports Impreza L which has won tons of AWD Unlimited events and they run the P45R and Torque R on their car. They recently won first place at the Redline Time Attack this past weekend in AWD Unlimited and were on pace to win the entire event but unfortunately spun mid track.

I'll be sure to discuss this at our next meeting, we would need more interest in the wheel though to get things moving.

18x9.5 Torque R


18x9.5 P45R from last years Redline Time Attack. Yes they won first place two years in a row

don't personally care for the lip but everything else looks really nice.

A few comments on this "ad piece" if that's what you plan on using it for:

I'm not trying to be overly critical, but these are things you can fix in 30 seconds that would make the overall piece look less sloppy. Just a suggestion, please don't take it as me being an a-hole.

Wow, these wheels look good! What tire sizes are those? 245 & 275 with 35 series front/rear? And what kind of drop do you have on your black car?

Lastly, how much do these weight front and rear? Thanks.

Looks pretty good, you need tint. That lip just looks way out of place without sideskirts/rear lip though.

NISMOFO - Tires are 245/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear, Toyo T1R tires. I would recommend 245/35 and 275/35 tires for these wheels

henry j - Black is not available in Z fitment. The only color available is Royal Hyper Silver





Steve-O Z33 - sending you a PM!
