    Default Rota RB-R 17x8.5 +4

    Rota RB-R 17x8.5 +04. Found these pics on another site. Have to love the lip.



    Look like RS WATANABE wheels at 25% the cost.

    Id say yes, theyre a 17" wheel for one, and the spokes seem to have a decent amount of clearance behind them.

    I'd be guessing no...

    With that much dish and a flatish spoke design I really do doubt there will be clearance for the fat arse R3x calipers...

    Wait and see tho!

    i'd say yes for sure if other sizes were available... but might be a bit counter productive organising a group buy when your in canada...

    No again. RB wheels are the regular style. The -R in the RB-R model designates rear wheel. The spokes are slightly more tapered for more lip.
