It is a good deal. I will check quality when they arrive. Apparently, these are made in the phillipines, but have a good reputation.

I'm assuming the Rotas are 5x100 and you're either going to:

1) modify the holes for 98mm
2) Wobble bolts from Serpent

and

3) Get proper centering rings

Nope. They are specifically 5x98's with 58.5 center bore and 30mm offset for alfa. These were from special order for alfa wheel distributer.

apparently , he did not need all the sets and two were left over (per 18racing). these were then sold on ebay . I bought one set and the other one sold, too...i think (no longer listed)

So we shall see if i got a good deal or not in a few days....

Alfissimo carry the same wobble bolts cheaper...

DID some engine work converting 164s to gtv6. No one mentioned that you have to drillout about ten bolt holes for the pan bolts. Also, front lower engine cover fits the crank pulley, but needs to be drilled for pan bolts. You can only get 3 out 0f four in place due to casting. Should seal up allright, though..

Received my ROTA rims today.

all I can say is HOLY CRAP, THESE ARE AWESOME!!! They will need a set of deep lug nuts as the capped ones bottom out ...

see pics..

more pics...blue cause of photo shrink not working right..

Rim pics:

total weight for two thick boxes and straps and two wheels is 28lbs...so I am guessing each wheel weighs ~13 lbs.

I like these so much, I just bought another set!

So for the usual price of one set, I have four spares (I tend to drive off the road...)

Very very nice wheelsss, i'll be looking for a set for the Giulie if the price bought here isn't too crazy
