Group buy: Rota RK-R for 240z/260z

Group buy: Rota RK-R for 240z/260z
I have been dealing with the local Rota agent on arranging a group buy on the new Rota RK-R 15x8 in a custom offset of +10 (also known as ET10)
Some might has seen these listed on trademe but in the 0 offset aka ET0 here is a link to the trademe listing Trademe Listing Rota RK-R 15x8 0 offset
The reason for the +10 offset is so no rear guard modifications are required, with the 0 offsets lots of negative camber and rolling of the rear lip is required.
However a +10 will not fit on the front of a 260z with stock spring perches without fitting a 6mm spacer as the 260z spring perch is lower vs the 240z strut. However if you have coilovers no issues.
There is approximately a 10% discount on the trademe price if you join in.
Colours are limited due to the special order so only Royal Flat Gunmetal and Flat Black and numbers are limited
EDIT: removed attached images and posted links of them Click the little image to see it larger
Here are some pics of the 0 offset rims in the colours in question.
These clear large brake setup up to 12.2" x 1.25" with Wilwood Superlite 4 pot calipers (test fitted on 2 x 240z with these size brake) can post pick of this later.
Rims will take 8 weeks to get to NZ.
If interested please reply or pm me.
Regards Mike

under $1K for 4 a very nice rim see attached pics of the 0 offset in Bronze I test fitted to the racecar with large 12.2" rotors and the Wilwood stick out a bit past the hub face - about 18mm IIRCdisruptiv wrote:would be keen if the price is right

you have a 2+2 right? If so they have more room in the rear so the 0 offset might be fine all round. It is the 2 seaters that are narrower in the rear that have clearance issues.ZMAD wrote:Would fitting 0 offset to front and +10 offset to rear on a 260Z be a good idea? If so another person doing the same would enable the sets of wheels to be purchased.
James has your email changed? PM me it just in case. And I will email you the pics.
EDIT: updated pics from attachments to links above
And yes fit stock 240z suspension with the +10 offset with no guard modifications that is why I have been talking to the Agents for the last few months
There is a shipment of 10 set of 4 coming in and 5 set are already spoken for with a possible 2 more sets going.
Cheers

PS re the rubber question 225/50/15 no problems and we will see how the Toyo R888 in 235/50/15 fits once we get some rims in 8-9 weeks but going by calculations and knowing what fits and doesn't on a zed the 235/50/15 should be fine too.

Only 4 sets left...be in quick. One set of Flat Black and 3 sets of Royal Gunmetal.
For those interested the order is now confirmed with Rota and I will email you details for placing a small 10% deposit to ensure the rims are loaded into the first container - Manufacturing of them most likely will start next week - however it will take up for 8-9 weeks to get here and then ??? how long to get through the ports of Auckland is anyone guess right now.

Well I can ask will get back to you.ZMAD wrote:So is it +10 offset only in this buy?
All Black now spoken for...so only 3 set of the Royal Flat Gunmetal left before they are all pre-sold.
Correction - Only 2 sets of the Royal Flat Gunmetal left and one of the Flat Black.
Update on what is left in this order.
2 x Flat Black
1 x Royal Gunmetal
If others are after Royal Gunmetal then the 2 set I want I will swap for Black - I just want 2 sets the same and either colour I am happy with.
