Default FS: 17X7.5 Rota Torques in GOLD 4X100 (RARE) 56K

I've decided to change wheels so I need to sell my Torques.

Wheels are absolutely flawless w/ the exception of 1 wheel. There is a 1-2mm scratch on the spoke because a spanner wrench was accidentally dropped on it during my suspension install. The damage is so slight that unless you are really hunting for it, you won't see it.

For those of you that have read my threads about 235/40/17's on the EP, dropped without rubbing, these are the exact wheels I used for that setup and those tires are on the car in all the pictures below.

I switched to 225/45/17 as my wife was complaining about it being too bumpy for her (she has a bad back) so I opted for something w/ a little more meat and softened my suspension settings. I also figured if I was going for softness I would change to something w/ a longer tread life hence the ASX's They are still pretty grippy though they are an all season tire.

Why Are These Wheels Rare?

KIM, a director of rota said "This particualar rim was not introduced for 4x100 bolt pattern intentionally . It was ment soley for 5x114.3 or 5-4.5 evos, sti's ect....."

Call Rota Usa and ask them for these rims then wait for them to laugh

I also have a spare Rota center cap that I will include in the deal

I will be more than happy to meet locals to show the wheels.

I am not willing to part out unless I have buyers for wheels and tires.








Here are all the pictures from the zip file. I shrunk them down, so if you want to zoom in on them download the file and you can zoom in like no other. You can actually see the amounts on the depth gauge for each tire if you download the file. The smaller images don't show this too clearly.





















Post any questions up and let me know.

Thanks!

Yes it is, I actually bought the wheels from Mitch originally.

I don't think the price is unreasonable. The cheapest I've been able to locate these wheels shipped is $610 and no one has them in stock anywhere note even Rota. Add the cost of the tires that are almost brand new and you are at my asking price.

I know people will try to low ball as well so I started the price a little higher than what I'll take for them. Like everything for sale, they are OBO.
