    I'm looking at getting some rota grids for the WRX and I can only find a few places online that have them. Does anyone know of a local place that would have them?

    I would but I want to see how they would look on it in person. Plus I'm not sure the wheel size I can fit on a 215/45/17 besides the stock wheel size. I also want a little more offset than stock.

    besides the cheap ghetto chicom crap, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who keeps a lot of stock on hand. I know one of the tire stores will transfer rims between locations if you cover shipping though.

    Sears used to carry Rota wheels...but they weren't ever in stock in stores.

    They don't have rotas listed on their website.

    I cannot think of anyone that has ever stocked Rota's locally. What's your budget?

    My max amount I would want to spend is around $800. I want wheels only as I'll use my tires I have now since they are new.

    Just order them from the internet. No one locally carries rota grids in stock. I'd recommend going wider than 215/45 on your wrx. You could fit wider without rolling your fenders. But for $800, they're not hard to find in that budget for 17's. Some websites will ship for free.

    I just got new tires and don't want to buy them again.

    Well, you can get 17x7.5" rim then. You may be
    able to run 17x8" also.

    you "could" stretch it and buy a 17x9

    I was thinking 17x8. If I went 17x9 I would have to roll my fenders which I don't really want to do.

    you wont have to roll the fenders if you stretch those 215 tires on there. but stretching is stupid. i would go 17x8, that way when those tires are crap you can upgrade to a 235
