    Spacers=padded bras IMO. I know they are good in some applications, but when I take my wheels off, I want em to know that it's all wheel, and not a little wheel with a lot of aluminum push.

    They are listed in the classifieds. 17x8.5" work wheels. +42mm et, I believe.

    This might sound like a retarded questions but what's the deal with ROTA?

    I've been hearing a lot of negetitive things about them not being safe...

    Rota- there was a lot of hype a few years ago about the hubs of the wheels blowing out, supposedly under even normal driving. Truth be told, they're knockoffs of wheels like Work, Volk, etc. My DPT's are in fact a straight rip of the Volk CE28N. Personally, I haven't had any quality issues. I had occasion to slam a curb at a good 20-30mph, and to the wheels credit, there wasn't so much as a scratch on it.
