- Hey guys Shawn with Custom Offsets.

Custom Offsets TV on the You Tube.

Got another hot new episode for ya.

Episode 120 and we have the Sota Scar.

This is one of the ones we have not gone through

yet and actually when I saw it sitting out

in the shop earlier last week I was like mm

that definitely looks good.

The Sota Wheels go through a lot more milling

and machining and that's where they really just pop out.

One of the things I want you to see as

I go through this Scar Wheel is the massive

amount of milling.

And you'll see that even on all of the bump outs

they'll mill the backsides of every single bump out

so it just pops.

And then they'll run a mill all the way around that window

to also give that more detail and depth.

And then they'll go inside the windows and they'll

mill all of that out.

Same thing inside every one of the spokes

and even onto the hub a little bit.

They'll sit and mill all of this out so the

about of milling, the time that it takes to

do all of that is why you'll see that the price

on the Sotas is gonna be a little bit more

because of all the intricate milling and also the

intricate designs you'll see with these

bump outs and how aggressive the spoke set up is.

And there'll be the exposed lug nuts.

You're gonna see that they've worked all that in there.

They've even got the milled out dimples

on the inside of the wheel.

Then they do another set of milled rivets

on the outside here and then another set out on the lip.

So it's all the attention to detail when you're looking

at a Sota wheel.

That's some of the stuff you wanna notice.

I know when I asked em,

when we first started carrying Sota,

what was up with the price point

and those that don't know this

it's the brand formally known as BMF.

So I asked Sota, ya know, what was the deal with

the price point and that's what the discussion was.

Is the extensive amount of milling means an extensive

amount of time which is what drives some of the cost.

You'll notice that the Sota wheels sit more towards

the high end of the one piece cast wheels.

Definitely of the one piece cast they're probably

getting closer to the two piece wheel pricing

and that's what drives a lot of that.

So like I said, this is a Sota Scar.

This particular one is gonna be a 20 by nine wide

and it's a zero offset.

They also make this in a 20 by nine plus 12 offset

and then they've got it in a 20 by ten negative 19.

And that's pretty much it.

They're pretty specific on the sizing they have.

One of the things they also noted.

This is a one, two, three, four, five, six lug.

So it's a one, two, three, four, five, six spoke.

So if it's an eight lug it's gonna be eight spoke

and a five lug is a five spoke.

The reason they do that is so that they can

have the exposed lug nut and put it between

the spokes on each of the designs

giving it a symmetric look.

And the reason they have the exposed is

because they look absolutely killer with spiked lug nuts.

The black is more of a stealth look when you

put that in there.

And then the chrome makes it pop with all of that

milling and machining.

So it goes really well with it.

And you'll see that it's a lot, the cap is very low profile.

Very small.

It's more of that forged wheel cap look

and you'll see your spiked lug nuts come out

significantly past the cap.

As far as the finishes go

this is their death metal milled black.

So you'll see it's a gloss black and it's got

that ton of milling like I said.

Same thing gloss all the way around.

And then the other finish that they do is called

I already forgot.

It's something aggressive black.

Let me just look I don't wanna lie to you.

Stealth black.

And the stealth black is basically a matte or a satin black.

It's a real flat sheen to it.

And then they've got the milling all the way around

and the Sota is carved into the lip in milling.

And then other than that everything is just black, black.

Blacked out completely.

Lip size, this is 20 by nine zero and it's got

about a three and a half inch lip.

So that's an aggressive lip for a 20 by nine.

I would imagine that that ten wide's gonna have

at least a four and half inch lip

and the 20 by ten negative 19.

That one'll be nice and aggressive.

And like I said, the big thing to look at here

is the massive amount of detail and milling

throughout the entire wheel.

That's what Sota is all about and that detail

around these blocks and bump outs

is kinda their claim to fame.

The thing they've really focused their time and energy on.

I think that's it.

That is the Sota Scar and get you some.

Peace.
