OK, Dan. I just ordered the 16x7 Rota RBs in Royal Gunmetal. I hope they're in stock. (I received my blackout grille from you on Thursday; thanks.)
Now I just need a car to put everything on.
Thanks.

Erm...I'm sorry! Another customer beat you to the last set I had in stock, by just hours!
We'll have more in a week or so.

The black is available.
Yes. Add the wheels to your shopping cart for shipping rates.

Formel is an old design and probably won't be offered in four-lug. On the other hand, stay tuned for some nice new mesh offerings from Rota...

Rota Torque in Hyper Black?
I would love a set of 17 x 7.5s in hyper black! Any chance of getting these in the near future?
Thanks!

I see the Rota Torque in Flat Black/Red Lip... do you have any that don't have the red lip? Also, I'm new to the whole tire/wheel thing, so what size tire would you recommend for the 17 x 7.5? Any rubbing? Room for large brakes? (Sorry, I'm new to the tire/wheel game..
)
And if you don't have any Torques in just flat black, same questions for the Boost and Slipstream
Thanks!

Hi wbarnhill,
I responded to your questions by PM, but to reiterate:
- No, we don't have the Torque without the red lip at this time.
- You can choose from several tire sizes, including 205/45R17, 215/45R17, 225/40R17 (rare), and 235/40R17
- No, it shouldn't rub assuming the car is at normal-to-moderately-lowered ride height.
New topic:
We have another new wheel for the MINI. It's the SVN, 17 x 7.5":
Rota SVN -- click me!

I am looking at getting 2.. MAYBE 4 more (if the price is right) of the Rota Slips in black..
I am planning on slapping on some Kuhmo v710's.. What in the way of the Slips do you have?

Find prices for any of the wheels I've talked about by clicking the links near them. Slipstreams are found
HERE .

Yes, but the smallest 17" size Kumho V710 currently comes in is a 245/45R17 -- that's not gonna fit on your MINI.
I'll PM you about some other tire options.
