where to buy rotas? cheapest?

where is it cheapest to find a set of rota grid? 17x7.5? also what tires do you throw on them to make the speedo the same as if we had stockies 17x7 on? I have found a set for 580 shipped, anywhere else for cheaper?

try 18racing.com, these guys are great guys to deal with for Rota's and Rota's only.
you can go with a 215/45/17, 225/45/17, 215/40/17, 225/40/17
of course, you can go wide if you want. If you're not lowered, you can go as high as 255/45/17.

If you live in Nor Cal, you can pick up their wheels for $600 cash, which is what I did. Great service, I recommend them.

Haha it's jlbmotorsports.com

Some of the prices are real cheap, some are on par w/ Subydude or 18racing. Depends on what type.

Oh and they have Advan RGIIs there on clearance for a GREAT price. $1600 shipped I think for the 17s, was the cheapest I saw online.

You're mistaken. I would run either a 215/45 225/45 or 235/40 tire. 225/45 is going to have a good selection and will probably suit your needs the best.

Yes you did, however you did mention a few other sizes that would not only throw off the speedo, but decrease MPG and the ride would suffer.
