Default New Release **Rota GRID Staggered setup**

The 18" Rota Grid wheels finished production last week while we were visiting Rota. We were able to bring a set back with us so we could give everyone a preview of these new wheels (Production wheels are currently in transit to the US, expected to be in stock late September).


Rota Grid Staggered

Front : 18x8.5 +15
Rear : 18x9.5 +20



Pictured below is Matte Bronze, Hyper Black will also be available on our first shipment.

New shots

The Hyper Black looks sweet. Is it possible to get a price on 18x9.5 all around for the Hyper Black?

It looks good. I wonder how the hyper-black looks on a chrome silver Z.

Yea Linea Corse wheels are also great wheels. They've been extremely popular in the BMW/Lexus community. We have some Linea Corse Lemans (LM rep) coming in 350Z fitment, these should be in by the end of the month

Thanks! Hah we are still deciding on a new front lip, the car really needs an entire new bumper though as this ones pretty beat up

Hyper Black would look awesome on a chrome silver Z. It's a color that really goes well with the various 350Z colors

-1. No they are not weak at all.

In fact, I am glad they went with a slightly more conservative offset this time; the old p45's seemed like too much offset and someone locally has them and from behind it reminds me of a 4x4 truck (the tires stick out slightly past the fenders). It was an eyesore for me.

offsets are kinda weak. those offsets would be great if the wheels were 9.5" and 10.5" wheels. offsets are decent but could be much better.

This setup is meant to be a nice fitting staggered wheel for the Z. We didn't go too aggressive on offsets as we wanted to make a setup that works very well for the majority of Z drivers. We have some new 18x9 and 18x10 setups coming out soon that will be nice a flush for those looking for something aggressive :devil:

Dan,

Those look like the Toyo T1R tires. What sizes are they? I'm guessing there are NOT any spacers with these wheels?

These look great! Now I have to add this to the list of potential rims - LMGT4, P45R, Grid... Decisions, decisions!

Do you know the weights of each rim?
Recommended tire sizes?

Thanks for the info!

They are indeed Toyo T1R tires in a 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 front. These tires are a bit on the big side for these wheels but they do look very meaty

Haha yea there's a lot of wheels to choose from The front wheels are 22.0 lbs and the rear wheels are 22.6 lbs I recommend a 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear tire for these wheels.

not bad.. considering the price / decent fitments / weight..
my LE37s weighed 20lbs for 19x9.5.. so these aren't that far off(although they are 18s)..

good deal.
