Dan_Austin Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Where are you gents finding the RKR? I am spitting distance from a couple of Rota distributors, and their inventories either show the RKR in 15" only, or the 17X8.5 4x114.3 +04 in royal silver only.

Kevin.pk Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I got mine off ebay, from user "wheelbay". Which is really just 18racing.com My size options were a little different since I converted to 5x114.3 Mine are Royal hyper black... which really just looks like a fancy silver/graphite. one tire mounted....

morbias Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm waiting on the 17x8.5 -10 4x114.3 to become available; just wondering how thick your adapters are so I can get an idea of how far my fronts will stick out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm waiting on the 17x8.5 -10 4x114.3 to become available; just wondering how thick your adapters are so I can get an idea of how far my fronts will stick out No adapters... but I have Z31 front hubs. Z31 hubs push the wheel out about 3/4" from the stock 4 lug hubs. Stock stub axles in the rear. I have some 10mm spacers lying around that I could put behind the my front wheels(17x8.5 0) but mounted in the rear to give you an idea of the fitment for the rear.(would effectively be 17x8.5 -10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Austin Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Morbias, do you have links to those sizes being produced? That size would be better that the +04, but I have found no US sites listing them or even the possibility of them. I think I saw an Australian site with 17X8 -5, but that seemed to be conjecture about a new size and not anything Rota had committed to.

morbias Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Mastermind, looks like I might need spacers on the front then. Dan_Austin I have no links, but I emailed 18Racing about available sizes. They sold me 17x9.5 -20 4x114.3's for the rear already and said the 8.5 -10's will be available either this or next month.

bombsquad Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 XXR 002 16 x 8..I'm not sure of the offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Austin Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks Morbias. 18Racing/Wheelbay told me to check back next month for the 17X8.5 -10, which does not sound too bad since the +4 in hyperblack is also out of stock and it supposed to be in the same shipment. I wonder if a group buy might be worth trying to put together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbias Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Weird, I also contacted them yesterday and they told me, "for 17x8.5 no news yet, we place order for +4 and -15 but not sure if -15 could be order or not, since manufacture has not give us any news yet." I hope they actually get something decent in stock or otherwise I'm stuck with an unusable set of 2 wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGhost623 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) My tires are a little different than what everyone else runs on these wheels it seems. Everyone seems to go with 225's, and I went with 205's. Oh well, next time. This was a complete out the door package for $800 at a tireshop here in town during 2012 thanksgiving week. Couldnt pass it up. They stick out just a tad which I think is just enough. No engine in bay yet to add weight in these pictures. Also have the tokico illumina's spring/strut kit, which dropped the car about 2 inches as well.

wesmc Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Not much to look at but a good deal for $80. Anyone know what the brand is (seen alot of them on Z cars) and does anyone have a picture of them powder coated or anodized etc. Here's what I did with the same wheel: then bead blasted em Then powder coat so the old porous mag won't leak Edited January 14, 2013 by wesmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Finally running the wheel and tire size I've been wanting to: Grid V 15x9 -15 all around on 205/50 Falken 615Ks. I only have a few shots of fitment, I can take better shots of the whole car if you guys want to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
