    Default Soon to be released Rota wheels.

    Here is a pic I just received of the soon to be released 16x8 +4 offset RB in chrome.

    Wheels will be offered in 4x114.3 16x7, 16x8, 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 in offsets 4, 12, 20, 25, 40 and 45.

    Perfect for the MA6x, AE86 and other cars.

    I think the target market for that wheel would be running 205-215's on an 8 inch rim for that stretched look. There are definately good tyres in those sizes.

    Are they available without the ghey chrome? If so they'd be perfect for my RA23.

    i think 16x7 with 215 tyres would just squeeze inside an RA40 - but you'd have to play around with offsets to get clearance from the front struts and keep the tyres inside the guards at all corners.

    but superlites or look-a-likes are v.nice.

    Prices run around US$550 shipped for four rims in the US for 15x8s. Rota makes really affordable wheels. Being from the Philapenes they may be cheaper for you guys down under. Colours... lots. Also being available in 17" there should be many tyre choices.
