Bartman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 So I decided to wait for the 17" Rota RB's to come out for my new wheels. I contacted Kim and they should be getting a set out to me in around 6 - 8 weeks for $650 shipped. These should be a direct fit if you're running coilovers, and they may or may not require some fender rolling (no spacer/adapters needed). If you want to wait, I'll post up pic's when mine are installed. You can contact Kim with Rota wheels at kimcosmic@juno.com. This is not a group buy, everyone is on their own to purchase individually as they see fit. AFAIK anyone that contacts them will get the same deal that I am getting.

260zturbo Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i just ordered the 15x8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Darn! I figured I was going to be the first to order a set of the RB's in 17"! Thats a good price, is that for all the possible colour combos? Can't wait to see pictures and a detailed write up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I too have been waiting and asking many rota dealers about the 17X8.5" rota RB's. I'm going to e-mail Kim right now and see about putting my order in for a set. Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good price, is that for all the possible colour combos? Can't wait to see pictures and a detailed write up! I'm going for the Royal Hyper Black...I think the price is the same regardless of the color. The real issue is how long it's going to take to get them. I figured it may help get them going if they see how many people want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Did you have to pay in full to place your order? Are you going to run 245/40-17? Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Did you have to pay in full to place your order? Are you going to run 245/40-17? Justin No, when I first inquired about these rims Kim told me they were back ordered until July. I then asked if I could order a set and he (or she?) replied that he would save me a set. I am planning on running 245/40-17's, and I'm specifically looking at getting Kumho V700's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkaw Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 What happened to the 16x8's. I've been waiting to see the 16" come out and now I see the 17" are coming. Tell me 17" will work with stock suspension-please. If I am missing something, please point out where the 16" are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wanted 17" but always loved the RB's so now i know i what ill be getting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I e-mailed Kim a couple days back and am yet to get a reply. Does it usually take a bit to hear from him? Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I just got an e-mail back from Kim. I'm excited to get these wheels!!! I'm getting Royal Hyper Black. From what I've seen on actual wheels is that the gunmetal is a lot darker then it looks in the RB pictures. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wAnNaBVaN Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 i gotta give my guys a call to see if i can get these, maybe i can get a better deal for you guys since it seems like theres a good amount interested. unless all of you already ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I want to jump on this one. I am happy with the grids, but have always liked the wantabe look so much more. What tires sizes do you guys think for this rim? 245/40/17... is 255 too large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 215/45-17 will fit on 7" so i presume 225 would fit on 8" but will be tight like a tiger 245/40/17 seems to be the best size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Anyone know if a 245/40/17 on a +4 8.5" rim clears the stock fenders? I guess more importantly... Do ZG flares provide more clearance? If so is it enough. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
