Im looking to buy some 18's Rota Torques or SVN in Hyper Silver or Steel Grey for my MS3 but can't find any place that has it in 18's. Anyone have or know any places with a good deal?? Thanks!!

hrmmm well either you could try asking him directly or you could check the rota website, they could either sell them to you there or link you to a vendor

get enough people and they could probably do a special order, too.

yeah they dont make the SVN in 18s for the ms3...at least that is what wheeldude said when i talked to him on aim .. they have em in MS3 fitment in 17s if you want them...

as someone else said.. get enough people and you could do a special order in 18"


just to clear up any confusion .. they do make the SVN in 18" but from what ive seen .. the hub bore is the wrong size.. the svn in 18" are made for subie fitment .. where the hubbore is smaller then the ms3.. u could get the bore enlarged and they would work

I have a set of 18x8 Torques hyperblack that I got from wheeldude back in March. Took 4 months to get them. I am downsizing to 17s so I am looking to get rid of them. I was gonna wait till the end of autox season but I guess I can run stockers. Interested?

If you want new, contact wheeldude and he will wait till he gets 3 more people to place an order. It has to be same color.

Whats a good offset for these bad boys in 18's?? Or which size can I use for our stock tires in the meantime??

I think the best you will do is a 48mm offset.

I think all rotas for our cars are 48mm. You will have no rubbing with stock tires and these rims. I have 245's and rolled the fenders (probably didin't need to).

So 18 x 8, 5 x 114.3, +48 will fit the stock tires still?

Saitech

Yea it will, no problems. But the tire will look stretched. I have 245s and the sidewall sits flush with the wheel.

Wheel/Subydude is known for coming up with almost any size rota wheel. In fact, not to long ago they offered me the SVNs in 18x8.5 48 offset in gun metalic. Call or PM them with what you're looking for and they'll work with you.

Trust me they get a ton of "what if I wanted this wheel in this size.." PMs and emails everyday and they're really quick to respond.

Did you end up buying the 18x8.5s? I am curious to see if we can fit 255/40s on there w/o problems.

We are the only people who make mazda specific rotas (you will not find any other vendor who orders them to spec)

Ours have the correct hub size, width, and offset.

Since the wheels we order are so specific, it's hard to carry a ton of inventory of them at any given time.

Of course if 3 people are interested in the exact same setup...color/size/offset, we can get it going, it just takes 2 months for it to be produced and shipped to us.

The only thing we have available in Hyper Silver are the tarmac 3's in 18"

In hyper black we have P1's, Torques, and Tarmac 3's

unfortunately the smallest width they are available is the 8.5 in the 18"

It sounds like it would be profitable to produce an 18x8 g-force mold no?

awe man, i think with my coilovers i'd be pushing my luck running an 8.5"

well, if you guys decide to make a bronze 18x8, i'll pay out the ass for it! haha

I would be interested. What does pricing look like?

Also what is the weight of the rim? (I apologize if I missed it)
If the weight/price is right then I will be onboard for an 8in width (stock suspension/not rolled).
