Rota RB 16x8 +4mm...anyone running them?

[speedminded]

Some refer to them as the Rota RB-R because of the deeper offset and I think the spokes may be slightly different than the +20? I've searched and searched and searched for weeks and have yet to see a photo of them anywhere on an e30.

roll your fenders and you can run them.

Figured so since tons of people run the 0 offset 16x8 sportmaxx.

I've seen one member on here with the 16x8 et20 Rota RB and another is the 16x7 et20 but neither have the look I'm expecting...or wanting. I just need something 4x100 quick to go over the Porsche brake kit i'm fabricating.

nasty looking rims, only look good on older jdm cars

I kinda like them. But 16x9 would be better.

16x9 would be perfect...or 15x9 lol! Then paint them a solid graphite color; none of this machined/polished lip nonsense on a 1-piece wheel.

They do make it in a 17x9 (-)13 and a 17x9.5 (-)19 but only in 4x114.3.

Thr RB-Rs are indeed quite nice. I am contemplating a set of 15x8 for my 2002 racecar running 225.45.15 and as my car has 6" flares, clearance is not a problem.

Basically replicate the old school watanabes?



Yeah I know it's a render.

They do look cool but then again, I'm one of those with the 16X8 ET20's that you speak of.

15X9 or 16X9 might make me think of upgrading though....

I'd like to see these P-Choped onto an E30.

Yep Watanabe's. Our cars aren't exactly rounded for such curvy spokes but I think the right tire and stance will make up for it. Dare I say if they look good on a Datsun 510 I don't see why they wouldn't on a e30?!





The 70's skylines are much more rounded though so they fit them perfectly...

I PS'd colors on the Toyota, I'll play with the wheels on an e30 later on. The tires on this car are a 205/40-16, might want a little bit more meat on them for an e30...

they definitely have potential. Hopefully someone will respond to z31maniac's photoshop request.

You would want to run these on the e30 hatch project? That might look kinda cool.

If you do decide to, try them on this car. ;)

Those are 16x9s with 215/40s.

I'm not sure if they'll look good at all with the m3 box flares lol, but for the time being...

Red car, in case you didn't notice. I'm trying to make it a little less shiny, looks too much like CGI...
