akhelihoon907 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) ok so i just stumbled across this and i emailed kim at rota. he emailed me back the next day saying the group buy is still on. if you read from the beginning of the thread to about page 20 thats all the info you need. the rest seems to be people like me stumbling across all this. from what im getting out of all this is you can order rota RBr style rims in the size of 17x9 -13 offset or 17x9.5 -19 offset. will fit with coil overs and stock springs. you wiil need to trim a little bit and most likely need flairs.

stony Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 After spending like a hour going thru the post your wheels thread and only finding a couple pics of the rotas would it be too much to ask for everyone to post the pics of the wheels they bought here. I'm a huge watanabe fan but not a fan of the cost!!! these are about as close as you can get ;> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge watanabe fan but not a fan of the cost!!! these are about as close as you can get ;> How about these? They look more like watanbe's right? RKR 17x9.5 ET-20 and costing about $800... I'm sure they also make them with 4x114,3 PDC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuervo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Far from complete but these are the gunmetal with machined lip 9.5" rear and 9" front. The flares are not mounted yet. Struts are sectioned 1.5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I figured i'd update this. I got an email from Kim and she referred me to this site selling the rota Rb mentioned in the group buy. http://www.racinglab...ta-rb-280z.html Edited May 23, 2012 by stony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 BTW royal silver is B/O until October 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Donovan_ Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I checked out that site on the staggered set up. I want the Royal Hyper Black as well. The thing is I want a set that I do not need flares for. Does these specs for the one shown meet that requirement? 17x9 4x114.3-13mm (Front 2 Wheels) 17x9.5 4x114.3-19mm (Rear 2 Wheels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 OK i just got done reading all 40 pages, and you my friend have not or you would know the answer. The answer to your question is a resounding no. you need flares for that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyson Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I'm interested in this. (assuming they will still run em) #1. Anyone have a set of black or gunmetals they want to sell? #2. What is the average time it takes to receive the wheels? Edited August 20, 2012 by tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S130Z Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I got my gun metals in about 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I got my gun metals in about 4 days. That's good to hear. I e-mailed/called Kim and left voicemail, hope I don't end up being one of the cases where it takes 2 weeks to get contacted. I had my tire company call Rota as well as 18racing.com but both said they were out of the 17x8 RBRs in the +4mm (and anything near it). 18Racing said they didn't know when their next shipment would be, said "could be tomorrow, next week, next year". Oh the life of having my current tires showing belt and wanting nice s30 wheels yesterday =( Edited August 21, 2012 by tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Today I got an e-mail from Kim informing me to go through Racing Lab. FYI Racing Lab only has 7.5" and 9.5" wheels in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Looks like I bought the last 4 17x9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
