so the bolt pattern is correct, but you just can't use those lugnuts?

There are holes for 114.3 but it's hard so see, the size of the hole is too small and no area to seat a lug nut. Almost like the wheel was not intended for use with a 5X114.3 pattern.
Jack said that even if we had nuts to fit in there, he would not use them.

gotcha

They obviously meant for these types of lugnuts, which I never trusted anyway. Most wheels that have that tiny hole come with these when you buy them new.

thin/small lug nuts would be an eazy fix... if that one was not bent.

Damn, I guess the R really can lose. Reason #292874373 why I wont be using parts from DC Sports.


That stinks about your wheels Rob. Looks like on top of the bend they where actually just 5x100 as well? Is the guy you got them from going to send you replacements?

Waiting on a phone call from him...

Any solutions?

Got the phone call, as previously discussed with him, He has to wait on the word from Rota.
He saw the pictures and acknowledges the issues, know to get Rota to take them back and return the $$$.

Im sure Rota values their reputstion enough to do it.

Get it?

Rotas reputation? I keed. I keed.

Be ready for some serious vibrations, and be sure to check all of the bolts under the hood from time to time. Mine back out

Roger that... most bolts are soon to be replaced... and the ones that I don't need to take off very often/ever will get a little lock tite treatment.

Sorry to hear about the wheels t00 d00d.

A lot of rota wheels I've seen dont allow for stock lugnuts. Most need the thinner nutz.
