mmmm tasty I think they only comes in 9.5 or 10\'s,not sure if I can get these in 8.5 for the front will give then ring this week and see what they say

if you\'re buying rota\'s or some copies new. I\'d suggest trying to buy some 18\'s for the ear and 17\'s for the front.

17\'s don\'t tend to be big enough for the rear and 18\'s tend to balls up you\'re suspension geometry on the front and then sit the car higher. Also there\'s handling benefits from running 17\'s at the front, + cheaper rubber.

and on top of that, it\'ll look 10 times cooler :D

Haha cheers man 9.5 on rear and 8.5 at front! They look nice I think

every day i regret pussying out and buying Ultralites. the finish has held up, contrary to just about everyone else\'s experience with them, but the sizing they offer sucks. totally wish i\'d gone at least 10j rear 9.5 front.
 
my advice is just wait, save up a bit more cash and look for some bargain original wheels on eBay or the forums. if you can\'t wait buy some manly Rotas, of all the companies selling imitations they\'re probably the best quality.

Jack, I tihnk you\'ve had the only non corrodey Ultralites ever made :D

Don\'t get those Samurai ones. They\'re too cheap to be even remotely credible. They\'re probably from the same factory as the Innovit/Wheelmania/Kei (not Kei Office ;)) boat anchors.

lol, i\'m not really a good example to hold up, i think my wheels have barely done 1,000 miles. the tyres have still got those little whiskery bits on the sidewall!

So ultra lite wheels are bad quality?
I am sorry to come inbetween but i was also interested in ultra lite\'s.
