I recently received my new wheels, Rota Circuit 8's, from JLB Motorsports, who by the way was very good to deal with and the wheels arrived very soon after I ordered them. But, when I was putting them on, I noticed that although they seem to have 2 different bolt patterns, both of them fit? So I tightened them down and everything seems ok. But it does make me feel a little awkward. Is this normal? I would have assumed they were 2 different bolt patterns. I would call JLB and ask, but it's the weekend and i'm sure they're closed. Anybody know what's up?

Thanks in advance,

According to Rota's website, they are available in the following offsets and bolt patterns:

15 x 6.5 +18 8h x 108
15 x 6.5 +38 8h x 100
16 x 7.0 +18 8h x 108
16 x 7.0 +40 8h x 100/114.3

Ruling out the 108 mm bolt circle, which doesn't apply to Honda/Acura cars, if you have the 15x6.5 wheels, then yes, all eight lug holes are in a 100 mm diameter (and I have no idea why they're designed that way). If you have the 16x7, then there are two different diameters for each set of four lug holes, so they can be used on cars with 4x100 as well as those with 4x114.3.

 

Well, that's retarded, they'd look way better with 4 holes instead of 8, but oh well, it just kinda threw me off a little.
