Thanks mate, cant beat positive feedback but all feedback welcome:Thumbsup!
 
 
Wanted to stick with17\'s as the car is fairly low anyway and when i tried 18\'s it just looked too high.
 
Plus 18\'s were £200 more:D

Didnt think rota did the 17" version of the GTR rim yet?

I thought they looked like URAS NS-01\'s?

Yup, they do do the 17\'s now :) they do them in four stud too.
URAS NS01 are pretty damn identical except for some minor details. If you want pure authenticity you could get the originals though, but a set of wide GTLM4\'s will cost big money.

What offset and tyre size are they dude? fitment looks better than most?

Ahh cool.  Learn something new every day.  Wanted a set of NS-01\'s for my S14 but they discontinued them a while ago so ended up getting 18" GTR\'s instead.

Gorgeous wheel though. :god

Offset on his looks like 30 or less I would guess.

It\'ll be ET25 or ET30 if my memory serves me correct from the rarerims site. (how ironic is that website name now haha)

I know rota\'s are done to death on 200\'s but I can\'t help but love those on a RX7..  :D

Hi John,
Its just stuck on but i was very careful getting it on straight and central,
Good slim sticky pads is the key :Thumbs-up

The wheels are only a few months old but i use meguiers wax throughout on the car every couple of months as i really rate that stuff, i also have had the car fully coated by supaguard so tbh a quick rinse over on the weekends and the dirt just falls off. I use the car wax on the wheels too as i have found the brake dust etc doesnt stick to them with the wax applied.
