I don't, but I think there are some around this forum.

The one pic is a rendering. The other is a real photo of the real product in front of our real shop.

Rendering.... Dude, you need to tell us when the pic is not actually a photo. I realize that you did not intend to decieve, but that pic looks real.

So, now we also know why the inside of the wheel area behind the spokes appears to be polished and clear coated but the wheel is actually not. The pic is just not real!

Maybe I missed a disclaimer along the way somewhere, if so please point it out to me, but since that rendered pic is the same one that is on your website, I thought I was looking at the wheel, turns out........ not really.

It is still cool, just not what we thought it was.

 

Removed so as not to besmirch my good name.

I want these 17s in Royal Black!!

 

Dan:
Thanks for the pic change, now we have some accurate/actual photos and know that what we are looking at is real.

Happy to help you avoid besmirching.

 

For those who wanted to see them on an R53.......

 

catseye, are those 17's or 16's? They look like 16's but to be honest I am terrible at getting it right sometimes. What size tires are you running and did you need a hub ring?

BTW, I have never seen you around the area. Do you go to the events out at Brier Creek? Haven't been there since they stopped last winter but plan to go back to the next event. I think I missed the one for April.

Lastly, but most important. The car looks sharp and even more stunning with those wheels.....

 

They are 17x7.5. Needed no hub ring. The tires are 205.45's.

I was at the Brier Creek meet last week, was my first one. I just got the car in January, which is why you may not have seen me. It's also not my DD, so even though I drive it a lot, it's not out all the time.

About the car, thanks. I wasn't real wild about the silver, but I think these wheels make it stand out.

 

We got some of these in...

Sorry, I should have added.."with a machined lip". They do look sweet tho. How much do they weigh?

 

I like that a lot! Have to be on a black car, though, for maximum effect....

 

Those matte black ones are pretty hot. Not so much for a LY/W car, however. The silver/polished ones are still the best bet for me right now.

 

Is this a trick question? Black weighs the same as all the other color 17x7.5" RBs. Which is 18.2 pounds each.

And yes, I know you were asking about polished lip before. "Royal" in Rota nomenclature means polished lip. So Black = all black, but Royal Black = black with polished lip. I still don't have any of those (Royal Black) in stock.

I dig these. <scratches chin>

 

I'd love to see those on a flat black car.....

 

Here is the 17x7.5 on my car in silver......https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...0/IMGP5821.jpg

 

hey that looks really cool chilisteve... thats how the s-lites should of been imo. what size tires are you running?

 

thanks,
215 40 17 I think.

 

OK, OK, I missed the weight thing in another post obviously

So, are the Royal Blacks available now in a 16" wheel? I've been thinking about going to 16s to improve the ride.

 

I would love some royal black RBs 16s but even the manufacture doesn't have any.

 

+1 Classic! Very "Old School"....in a good way.

 

I origionaly wanted the RB in black or dark gray and was thinking about powder coating the silver but the longer they have been on the car the more I think that i will keep them silver.
Thanks by the way!!

Good find!! Thanks.

 

Attached is pic of NAM member (SuperDuperMiniCooper) with matte black Rota RBs.

Looking at the pic, you would think he is running wider wheels and tires. He said his track setup is 15x7 RB with 205x50x15 and spacers front and back.

IMO - 15" is best looking wheel size for the RBs, unless 16x8 will fit, even better.
