15 x 7 Rota RBs

[Nmd14]

Hi All,

In an attempt to keep my newly acquired 240z original looking, I wanted to fit 15 x 7 Rota RBs with 205/60/15 tyres.

I am told by a couple of suppliers these don't exist with a PCD of 114.3. Do any of you know differently, or if not are there similar alternatives you would recommend?

Thanks, Nick.

How about the Rota RKR - lowest width is 15x8J though which will fit stock 240 arches, look closer to the Watanabe rim and cost the same as the RB. That's at RareRims.com.

If you look in my gallery on here I have 15x8j Rota GridV's on Proxes T1R 225/50/15 tyres on all 4 corners, they're slightly 'balooned' on the tyre walls being 225 wide, in hindsight I probably would've gone 205/50 on the front. I reckon 60 high tyres might be a bit too tall?

Rota RBs definitely are available in 15x7 with a 4x114.3 PCD, the problem is availability sucks in this country. In the UK most wheel places seem to only sell 4x100 PCD, best bet is to order from the US - a bit more expensive with import duty added but at least the exchange rate is favourable at the moment.

I also prefer the RKR to the RB, looks more old school!

Good choice ! what offset did you go for ?

I keep looking at the 9's in bronze,

get some photos up so we can see how good they look

Couple of **** initial photos....zero offset, 205/60 tyres.

they look very nice ! and fit in the arches well, the 9's would only stick out another 1/2"

I would lower it a bit but that's just me and my obsession with lowering everything I have,

That sits well. Are they rbx 15x8? Looks well with a bit of profile on the tyres.

Excellent. I've been planning to swap my Compomotive MLs to these in 15x8 with the same tyres. Looks ideal and your pics solidify that matt bronze is definitely the colour.

Franky, they are the RKRs, i.e. Rota's proper Watanabe R-type replica.

They are Rota RKR 15 x 8 from Rota Shop UK - cheaper from them than most other places I checked

They look awesome. Keeps that classic Japanese look which I think you were going for? Hoping to achieve a classic Japanese look with mine too but more retro.
