Ok couple of links below. I have Rota sub zero on mine (plenty of pics in the gallery). The black car belongs to Fj0 with sub zeros as well.

Do an advanced member search and put Rota in the aftermarket wheels box. Or do a search of the forums for rota. this is what i did. Northamericanmotoring.com was actually the best forum for info and pics of Rota wheels as they are popular in the states. Again do a search for rota.

I believe GRSmotorsport has Rotas on his too.

cheers dude - thems some nice rims....think i'm only goin to 16" or maybe 17" so as to keep my handling as positive as possible and so as to not kill my acceleration too much with the One's longer gear ratio's. I'll check out those lines of enquiry though...cheers matey

No problems Vigilante. mine came from rare rims, Julien and Matt are very helpful. The rotas are very light so should be really good for the one. Getting rid of my S spokes (and bullets for that matter) was the best thing I did. The difference changing from the s spokes to a much lighter rim is very noticable. More of my self important opinions in the link below.

You have a pm as well.

Seems strange. Mine came from rare rims as a package. Is it that you're after a particular brand of tyre?
