Default Question about Rota Grids

I've been looking to purchase a set of Rota Grids 16". Some of the pictures I see of them they look very concave. Other pictures I see they look straight like they barley bend towards the center. Are these pics just show they are straight from the angle, or is there two different types of Rota Grid one thats concave and one that isn't?




vs.






Thanks for the feedback!

It's due to the offset of the wheels.

The first picture that you showed seems to have wheels with a high positive offset. Probably around +45mm

The last two pictures have a low (or maybe even negative) offset.

Thanks! I thought it would be the offset, but I wanted to check with you guys first because damn near every shop I found them at the offset for the 16" were all 40mm so I didn't know u could buy them with that kind of offset.

There are two different versions of the Rota Grid.

Standard Rota Grid (high offset)
Rota Grid Off Road (low offset)

it's all due to the offset. most likely if you are putting it on a honda/acura, it'll be straight.

The top ones are 17" dude

Different spokes to the 16" slightly.

The others are correct thou, the concave are the Grid offroad/grid drift

They now make a concave spoke 15" thou which is nice

I looked at the Rota website and they have a 16x7 with a 0 offset in the standard grid. In the Grid Off-Road they have a 16x8 with a 10 offset.

Do you have a picture looking down the side of the car so I can see how they sit compared to the body of the car?

Damn bro those wheels are so badass, I was thinking on getting these wheels not too long ago but I wasn't sure of the offset. I got a 90 integra 4 door and I want to run 16x8 +10 offset and I was gona ask you if you already put tires on and what size your using? cuz I was thinking maybe 195/50/16 or 205/40/16 what do you think?. Do you got pics of the wheels already on the car cuz I really want to see them nice cars too by the way.

get 195 tires, with rim protection, always 40 series. i'll put it on when my camber kit comes in, its a must for -4 camber, and to tuck rubber in, don't waste time getting i if your not gonna tuck tires in, ugly *** mexican style, and this will also call for alot of camber wear

something like this

Thank you! I thought it would be eliminated, but I would check with you first, because damn near every store I found them to be offset for 16 &quot;was 40mm, so I do not know u can purchased with this form of compensation.
