I'm looking for a set of the 7x16 4x100 Rota RB's in Gunmetal. I spent the afternoon talking to "dealers" that, after taking my order, "discovered" they're out of stock.

Help! Is there a STOCKING dealer out there that has these on the shelf?

Or are all these wheels on a container ship sitting in line off Long Beach?

Thanks

 

? did you try: https://www.machv.com/collections/wheels

 

Thanks! Order just placed.... we'll see if it goes thru.

 

great.

What size tires will you be installing 205 50 16 ? or ??

My last tires were all season so they have a higher tread wear.

 

205 55R16 -- the car came with Run Flats. I'm doing the wheels and tires all at once. 205-55's are on it now and they fill the wheel arch nicely. Is yours lowered?

 

Black Enkei PF01
My 06 S came with run flats and JCW upgraded suspension. I dumped the run flats and installed Black 17" Enkei PF01's and Continental DWS.
Lightweight wheels and All Season tires, so a lot better ride.

Maybe someday I will install a set of Rota RB wheels as I like the look !

 

Nope...

 

There's plenty on the auction site.

Back when I bought mine that's the channel I used, obtained from a seller in Hayward Ca. who I strongly suspect may actually be the distro themselves?

"In America, Rota wheels are distributed exclusively by Cosmic Marketing Corp., located at # 28301 Industrial Blvd., Suite V Hayward, CA 94545 USA."

Mine came in the 56.1 hub bore with M14 lug holes.

It was an easy and convenient transaction with no problems whatsoever.

I love these wheels!

Still have the boxes for them because I'm a pack rat LOL



Bonus points for these too because they are lighter than many of the classic minilite style wheels out there,
at 16.25lbs. they're lighter than Panasport and most the other makers too.

 

Forgot to add...

...if you dig the Minilite look and want to see different variations,
I totally geeked out on a thread and compiled a big sampling:

And to add,
was seriously tempted when I saw this very rare set of genuine Minilite MC40 wheels on FB recently and the seller was only asking $300 for the set, was super excited just because they're the pukka things, but at a chunky 22lbs, their weight kind of negates all my wide-eyed romanticism and I'd rather keep ridin' the RB's.

Still,
they do look quite awesome.

 

Old Boy: ALL the dealers appear to get them from Cosmic, no one seems to actually stock these wheels. I loved your Minilite post, I actually spent some time on it last week. Thanks!
