240zKing Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone interested in a group buy for the Rota RKR 17x8.5 +4 offset? They look like the old school Watanabe rims. I wanted to get the RB's, but too many people have them now. Also, the 17" rim gives me much more options for tire sizes from serveral companies (8 pages worth on tirerack site). The largest tire you can fit on a 240Z is a 245/40/17 with rolled fenders with a 17x8.5 +4 rim. I've seen it and it looks great. I reached out to racing18 and they don't not carry this option right now, but they can put in an order if there are 5 or more parties. What do you guys think?

Badler Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I had my heart set on Watanabes, but have to admit that they are pricey, and that these would fool almost anyone from 10 feet away. What kind of group buy price could you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jxll88 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) When they had them in stock, the cost was $995 for a set of four rims. I guess the discount will depends on how many people are interested. This is what they might look like on a 240z. Sorry I didn't know how to flip the picture...Any one else interested?

Perfect240z Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd like to know what the price would be as well. Is the fitment like this Z? Not sure what size wats these are, but I love the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanL Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I would be in if this materializes. +++ Edit: Strike that. I am looking to get RkRs but in the 15x8 size. Should have read more carefully. Edited September 17, 2014 by IanL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 not interested in this group buy, but would comment on the size. I run the Rota RB's with the same exact size. The wheel will make contact with the front spring perch on a 240-UNLESS you pound the the spring perch flat on the wheel side. This will gain you 1/4" clearance . This is with aftermarket springs on stock perches-your results may vary. Tire size will be limited to 225/45/17 . I run 245/45/17 and have rubbing issues on the rear inner fender during bumps. I am in the process of reducing to 225's which should resolve the issue. Lastly, I can keep my center caps on-not like the guys running the bigger RBR's FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
