: Question for you Classic owners with Rota Circuit 8's

Hello all, I have been searching through old posts reading about Rota rims. I have a Q for any of you peeps with the 15" x 6.5" Rota Circuit 8's.

And that is:

Will the center cap on a Circuit 8 rim, that Rota sends us, fit on our Classic B13 Sentras?


I have seen Greg (SER-prise in WV) say that the caps on his Rota SUB-Zero's do not.


I think the center caps make a big difference on the way a rim will look, so it is important to me. The ones are looking at are 15"x 6.5" (with a 38mm backspace I guess)

TIA,

not on the front, unless you grind off some metal.... PlanoSER ground off like 1/4" off the end of the axles and they fit.. and they will fit on the back i think, or you can just paint the round metal thing black and it will look great

Thanks playatx99.

I was hoping you would respond because I knew you had them. Okay so I'd need to cut my front axel appox. 1/4". Seeing as how they stick out so far anyway I don't see this being a problem. Are they that long for any reason anyway???

On the back ummmm....I'm looking at the CHROME ones, you all know me I'm a sucker for chrome, so a black center would be okay I guess but I'd really like to use the center caps Rota sends.

Anybody else have any experience with Rota Circuit 8's that have made the center caps work?


Please advise if you know, and thank you.
