Sorry, not at this time.

Do you have any other color choices for your SVN, 17 x 7.5" ? Also how heavy are they?
Flat black with red lip is also available. The hyperlink would bring you to our web site, where you'd learn they're 18.0 pounds each.

Not directly, but they will with a 15mm spacer.

RB 16X7 in Silver, when will they be in?

Rota warehouse is out of RB 16X7 (40 ET, 4X100, 56.1) in Silver. Any idea when Rota will be restocking its warehouse with this wheel? (Seems like a very popular wheel).

Thanks,

I'm not clear exactly what your question is. Is it, what wheels come in flat black? (I assume you mean WHEELS, not TIRES. Because all tires are flat black...)

235 is very wide for the R53. Look around this forum. There are only a couple of people running that width.

I gave up trying to order Rota wheels. Dealers have told me they do not know what is in the next container until it's opened -- regardless of what they or a customer ordered.

If a dealer does not literally have in stock what you want, think hard about finding another dealer or wheel. I wasted several months ordering and waiting for Rotas I ordered. As a consequence, I am still riding on Blizzaks though that will soon change with today's arrival of "non-Rotas."

Hi Dan;

I see that in some places it says the the 16x7 RBs have a 57.1 hub bore, and in other places the hub bore is 56.1. Which is it? And if it IS 57.1, does that little milimeter matter?

Thanks!

Both. In fact, they also are made in 67.1mm. Rota seems to be unsure of which they should make, and we never have been able to successfully get them in 56.1mm 100% of the time. So...we take what we get.

In my experience, no. I've run two sets of 57mm Rotas on our shop MINI, with no vibration or any other problems.
