Can anyone identify my alloys???
Anybody able to shed some light on the manufacturer of my alloys? I have been looking and looking but to no avail.
There are no markings anywhere at all on them, even had a look inside when i had the tyres changed.
All i know is that they were on the car when it was imported, and they are very very light. The wheel nuts are RAYS so i was thinking down that route.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm, turns out they're not Rota Subzeros after all. After a bit more research they are actually Racing Hart CP-035.
Subzero are actually a copy of them, and i'm having a nightmare finding one!!

Was reading this and was gonna say that they probally arn't Rotas they probally the wheel Rota copied.
Work Emotion CR Kai's > Rota Torques
Rota GTR's > Nismo LM GT-4's
OZ Racing Prodrive PWRC-1's > Rota GRA's
Rota Boost's > Advan RCII's
Etc etc...
So the good news is you're wheels are worth a lot more money, bad news is unless you speak Japanese you're bolloxed if you want a replacement.

Dicontinued in 2006
I had an encounter with a pothole:
You can see a flat spot on the first photo, it's not that bad but I'm not to pleased with it. Not too keen on trying to have it "popped" out as it may crack then i'm really stuffed.
Other options are to buy a single rota and have it colour matched to my wheels, or buy a set of 4 Rotas.

Its easy to tell if they are genuine Racing Hart's by whipping the wheel off and there should be a 'Racing Hart' stamp on the inside of the wheel, if no stamp or any indication of Racing Hart then they are more than likely Rota's.
But by looking at your first pic, I would say they are probably Rota's, as I'm sure the Racing Hart rims would have a logo or a 'monoblock' / 'forged' logo embossed somewhere in the larger bits inbetween the spokes?

I emailed a photo to Rare rims for them to look at, they're saying Racing hart.
Have to pull a wheel off i think an have another proper look.
