I'd be interested in a set of these wheels if there is enough interest from other people. It doesn't seem like it shouldn't be to hard to find 5 people to go in on these considering they are very nice looking wheels and you aren't gonna see another set like them in your area most likely.

Looks hot, I would like to get in on this but I can think of so many better places to put $750 on the car... maybe if I have some extra money in the near future, but I doubt it. Really great look though.

The 20 lbs is killing it for me . Given how light my Subzero's are I thought these would be 18's at most .

For those that would like to contiue this : email sales@18racing.com with an attn to Jessica in the subject .

yeah but your not only adding a inch of height, but more width and more spokes which equals more metal

how many people are seriously interested, because I am but by myself they will not make them. and i'll continue the GP if people are actaully interested..

Silverss why don't you keep your 2 good wheels for some drag radials or whatever so you can daily drive these and still have light weight wheels for the track..unless you don't drag race then this part is worthless

Anyone know the actualy weight on these? I'm not really a big fan of rota wheels and don't really want 18s. I may be interested if they are lighter than the OZ. I've been looking at the OZ Ultraleggras that are just under 17 lbs.

The gal at Rota replied and said the SVNs weigh in at about 20 lbs. Tire Rack says 18" Ultraleggeras weigh 18.8 lbs so the 17"ers probably are a scant 17 lbs and lighter than these Rotas.

I'm kinda sitting on the fence guys... I'd hate to see you get 4 people and not get the deal done, and I really like these rims but I'm also eyeing the Alt Sek-tors from Gravana. Keep me updated.

Where did u find 17" Ultraleggera's for a 5-110 ? OZ told me they dont make a 17" , just a 18x8 in 35mm or 50 mm offset for our stud pattern . I would be all over that .
