    i'm assuming the rota, sportmax etc. are a generic hub size? do you know if they fit a golf or if you need hub centric spacers? i like the work equip 03 copies.

    they have like a 70mm hub centre, so yes you'd probably be wise to run a hub centric ring. I think you'll also need a different style bolt too.

    I think the sportmax will be 73mm or something like that.

    You will need hubrings to drop them down to fit golf fitment.

    lots of debate on that one. i know of a few people using them on drift cars and haven't heard anything bad. for street wheels i reckon they're great. shame there are no oz retailers.

    Only place in Oz I know of that sells sportmax wheels are JDMyard...but I think the popular sizes and styles sell as soon as their shipments come in!
