Looking for RH rims in the USA



I am looking for RH-ALURAD AQ MAXILITE. So far I can only find German company’s. I trying to find a USA company that have these, but so far I have been shooting in the dark. I have searched the internet High and Low, but I know that some of you have some tricks.



Maybe there is a rim out there that look like them besides the S-LITES, I like the way RH look better. If you can come up with anything I would be very grateful.



Thank you.

Those are very similar to Minilites and Panasports.

How much do the RH's weigh? What sizes do they offer? Offset?

These are really nice! And for the price, makes me want to give up on a separate set of wheels for my MINI.

Try basserk over at Mini2, looks like he might be the contact person for these wheels. Let us know what you find since I'd be tempted to pick up a set for myself as well.

Well I talk to basserk on MINI2 that tryed to start the group buy for these, and he said they never proceeded with the group buy because people started flaking out on commitment to buy, but he would still try to talk to the manufacturer if we had some committed buyers. So is there anybody out there that would like to get these besides me and basserk? If so email him at [font=Arial] [/font][font=Arial]ebasserk-mini2@yahoo.com[/font]

Is the blue mc on the link running 18's?

As far as I know, they do not make 18" in these rims, they make a 17x7 and a 17x8.5
