Not sure but seem to remember someone mentioning they are the same fitment but I may be wrong.I think Subaru and another couple of other makes are 5/100 - if you stick the fitment into ebay it will bring up a whole load of random jap wheels !!

xyber 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Don't touch Rota, they make them light by using less material, I've seen some scary pics of wheels that have shattered or cracked the full circumference of the rim. I'd go for pro race 1.2 or maybe MOs, they are heavier, but rock solid and I've always liked the 6spoke ones. If I had the cash, Dymag Carbon & Magnalium Wheels, not cheap though but super lightweight Link to post Share on other sites
