OZ Crono's
Thanks. I'll get one of those for my (future) VX. Where's a good place to buy them from? Do you know?
These wheels have never been for sale in the US, the wheels in the pic were bought and shipped from Japan.

Rota makes a knockoff version -also unobtainable in the US.
Bogus.
'Cause those wheels rock.
Dang it! Hmmm... I have a friend who has a contact in Rota headquarters (Philippines) I"ll see if they can get me some.
Whats the rota replica name?

RotaUSA was no help to me, even SubyDude couldn't get his hands on them.
I do hear that some have been able to get them shipped direct from the Phillipines -try it out and let us know. I'm on board for a set if you can find them (I've heard about some super bargains coming from there -the shipping usually doubles the cost, but it's still cheaper than a $2400 set of 'JDM' wheels and a 4 month wait).

This is the only 6 bolt wheel rota has
Rota has a few 6 x139.7 wheels here:

It looks like the Crono clones are gone, but they still have the Compomotive clones (Cosmos). I tried to get these shipped in as well, with no success.
I think I saw these wheels on tirerack.
Nah, skip the hassle and cost. Just have a used set of OEM's (16x7 or 18x7) powder-coated in Black.

I've thought about doing this with my H3 wheels, but I must admit I like the look of the chrome on my VX. :bgwb:Quote:

I mean c'mon... Check out Rickshaw's Dragon:

At least the VX OEM ones do. How many people have had the chrome peel off and the replacements are expensive as well. Poor quality and I do not think painting them black will help the peeling
OEM 16s on 99 VXs don't peel...Quote:

I wound up blasting and painting my set of KMC Thunder wheels which started pitting on me. Had already replaced them on my proton with a new set of chrome 20's w/new tires. Now, the 'thunders' look pretty slick and I switch out one set for the other just for a change of pace every now and then. Kinda fun!
Since you've got two(2) complete sets now, perhaps have one set for the Summer and one set for the Winter (maybe with dedicated "studded" A/T's that are pre-pinned for studs). BV-- do they allow studded tires in your State of Michigan???Quote:
