Talking -UPDATE- UPComing Rota Wheel Work/SSR Replica

I talked to Rota and they tell me they are going release the Speed Star SP1 Professor/ Work Meister wheel in 17" called the D2. It will be available at the end of July.

The wheel is 17x7.5 in ONLY GOLD/ BLACK/ FULL Polish. Offset is at +25/30/35/40/45/48. There is a 2.5" lip no matter what offset. So even front wheel drive cars will have a nice lip. The wheel will offer Euro/Import/Domestic lug patterns. The wheel weighs at 17.5lbs and is a solid one piece.
Here is your first look at the final product.





Comparison to a Real Works Meister S1. Eventhough it looks slightly different you can definitely tell Rota put a lot of R&D into this wheel.

I know that already. But they are asking a lot for them. Rota tells me they will be around $650 or less.

Thats the price of 17". It will be coming out in 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 first. Then maybe 18" or 16". Besides the black there will be gold, gunmetal, full polish, hyper silver all with polish lips.
