SnowBound BP5 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 What color is that? As far as I know they only come in gold, hyper black and gun metallic. This wheel looks like shiny silver or something. Uh...they ARE available in the same color. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Products/Wheels/Rota/Hyperblack.jpg --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I thought the new Gravel only comes in 18"? Wheels in the pic are real STi Enkei's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wheels in the pic are real STi Enkei's If I remember correctly you also got the real thing, right? But I thought these JDM Spec.B tuned by STi wheels only come in 18s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 According to the FastWRX.com website that is Hyper Black. Haha, must be the flash then. I thought Hyper Black looks more like black chrome. But that shade is just perfect in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken the real JDM version comes in either a "plain silver" or gun metallic?

SnowBound BP5 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 By the way, does anyone have the weight for the Gravel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 It looks like the Gravels weigh 22.9 lbs and they clear brembos according to suby_dude at NASIOC (#343) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nx2000 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've run 225's on several 8.5" wheels, and never had a problem. It's not ideal, but most people wouldn't notice. These are Kumho Ecsta MX 225/40R18 on 18x8.5" SSR wheels... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Legacy/Wing/Frontcorner.jpg Oh, and we have Rota Gravels in stock. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Nice rims on your LGT Dan.

Waxiboy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If I remember correctly you also got the real thing, right? But I thought these JDM Spec.B tuned by STi wheels only come in 18s?

The following are the sizes I know of this style: 17x7.0 +55 (aka FXT Sport) 17x7.5 +55 17x8.0 +50 18x7.5 +55 (aka LGT)---what I have 18x8.0 +48 FXT 18x8.5 +50 Spec C RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subydude.com Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm glad you guys are happy with the new wheels The Rota Gravel is currently only offered in 18x8.5 5x100 +44 fitment (22.9 lbs). This model is available in Hyper Black, Gold, and Gun Metallic. Here's another shot showing Hyper Black under different lighting conditions Robert (MySubie.com) took this picture at the WheelDude BBQ a few weeks ago. We had Gold & Hyper Black on display at the BBQ http://www.mysubie.com/user_images/v1/galleries/555/v1_galleries_555_4f01757470_3359_1024.jpg The 18x8.5 +44 fitment is a bit on the aggressive side for Legacy GT's and will require rolled rear fenders with the majority of tire sizes. I have spoke to the engineers at Rota and we can make 18x8 +48 fitment (confirmed to also clear Brembo calipers) for you guys For those interested in a more LGT friendly fitment (18x8 +48) please post and or PM me! -Dan Email:Sales@WheelDude.com Phone:510.651.2956 AIM:WheelDudeSales Paypal:Sales@SubyDude.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Oh hells yes. I thought there were no plans to make another size for it, that's a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmfuse87 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 IN IN IN!! once in production you will have my DOLLAS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauiJim Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I thought the new Gravel only comes in 18"? Mine are STi Enkei's, 17x8 +50, in Hyperblack- and the new Gravel Hyperblack looks spot-on for color! The 'other' color is this gunmetal, here with the 18x7.5 Enkei (this is another member on the site): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/MauiJim/legacywheel012.jpg Subydude, great to hear of the 18x8- they should be popular...

Squiden Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Gah! You couldn't have mentioned being able to make 18x8 a week ago?!? ;-) Count me in as well - I can always use 2 sets of rims! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Due for wheels next Spring and I'd be all over these in 18x8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 That's very good news! I'm sure many Legacy owners would jump on this once it becomes available. The 18x8.5 +44 fitment is a bit on the aggressive side for Legacy GT's and will require rolled rear fenders with the majority of tire sizes. I have spoke to the engineers at Rota and we can make 18x8 +48 fitment (confirmed to also clear Brembo calipers) for you guys For those interested in a more LGT friendly fitment (18x8 +48) please post and or PM me! -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbsnatcher Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Count me in for a hyper black set in that 18x8 +48 LGT fitment, if they do go into production! Question to fellow members ----> If I run 225 tires on 18x8 +48 on my stock '09 DGM LGT, will I have rubbing issues?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_KT Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 18x8 + 48? Looks like might next set of wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
