RB's rock!!!!!

 

Not Rota RB's but close. Rota Boost powder coated white....

 

16" RBs powdercoated white.

 

 

Just a quick question. What size tires do you have on your Clubby?

does anyone have any idea where i can get a set of RBs in gold? I'd like 17s if possible but so far have been unsuccessful finding them. thanks.

 

Sorry, they are not currently available in MINI fitment in gold color.

davewerner: That's an easy one. Buy the wheels, take them to a powder coater/painter and then have the new tires mounted. Simple. I get a kick out guy/gals wanting a different color wheel. Sure it costs a little more, but with powder coating, or painting with hardner, the color is usually better and definately more chip resistant. Just a thought.

 

I had considered having a set powder coated but figured if I could find them available then i wouldn't have the extra wait time. oh well, thanks guys.

 

Do Rota wheels meet the German TUV standard?

 

contact: http://www.18racing.com/wheel_rb.html this is where I ordered my white rb's before Mach V stocked them. Special order was no problem, $650 for the set and a 2-3 month wait.

 

@ PA-MCS

Thanks a ton! I sent them an email, here's hoping they can make it happen.

 

I have a local guy selling some 15x8 gunmetal polished lip RBs. has anyone tried the 15x8s? I wanted to get an idea of how they looked Im a fan of the konig candies with a nice tire these sound good for some autox this year!

 

Are those wheels on a MINI now? 15" RBs are hard to fit because they run into the control arm. Unless the offset is very low, I'd be concerned about interference with the suspension.

Can you get 16" RB in white? I don't even own a mini yet, but I will this summer and I want 16" white wheels and the RB is my favorite

 

We don't currently have the 16's in white, but may in the future.

^ Those look Hot !

Hyper black centers with polished lips, is that what those are ? 17x7.5 ?

Also, are the lips and or centers cleared ?

 

Adding mine to the thread: astro black JCW with hyper blacks in 17 x7 .5:



The hyper black goes great with astro black.

 

^ Looks great sooper !

Im really diggin the hyper black. It looks more like polished than a black to me

 

Thanks! The thing I like about the hyper blacks is that, like the Astro black, it looks a little different depending on the lighting. In Dan's pic they look a little darker. The ABs and the hypers go very well together.

I looked at your gallery, your R53 is amazing. Beautiful car!

 

Ahh thanks! sold my HRE's and lookin for something new and differnt in a 17.

By the way, Love your photo site! I just sighned up with Smugmug and im a semi pro and i do alot of portraits myself.

 

Thanks! I do it semi pro as well. I make some money on the side but not enough to quit my day job. It's all good though, keeps me busy and it's lots of fun.
