Hey Dan,
Just a shot in the dark, so it doesn't hurt to ask and who knows, requesting something might be enough to spurn production if enough people mention it. Anyway, I was wondering if the Rota RB would ever come in a 16" x 6.5" size in the foreseeable future? I'm trying to keep in a stock auto-x class, keep weight down (hence the avoidance of the 17" size), but still address issues of personal vanity. I like the style, but the 16" x 7" won't work for stock class. I'm sure production is based on if it's even feasible, based on design, to produce that size in this wheel style. Yeah, I've looked at the Boost and Slipstream, but like the RB a bit more.
Again, shot in the dark.
Thanks in advance for any info. you can give me!
John

I'm interested in a set of the Linea Corse. Will i have any issues with rubbing running 18x8? I'd probably be stretching 215/35/18 over them as well.
On your website, there's a red clubman that's pretty low. Was there any fender modification done to the car? I should mention that the wheels will be going on a 2003 MCS. I'm not sure if there wheel wells of the newer generation allow more room.

205/45/16 BF Goodrich G-Force Sports OK w/this wheel?
What else would I need beyond the TPMS sensors and stems? (I have an 09 MCSa)

I love the old school British look of the RB's... I'd like to run the 16x7 on my R53, but really want to install the Texas Speedwerks BDM brake kit. They have a template which will tell you if a wheel will fit with their brakes, and you have to print it out and hold it to the wheel:

I realize that it would be a small PITA to print this template and measure the clearance, but these brakes are gaining popularity and others may want to know.
Thanks.
(ps. I think they fit over 15" Slipstreams, but that's another animal)

Not at this time.
205 is pretty skinny for a 7.5" wheel. It'll fit on, but 215 (or wider) would be better.

I just purchased new tires in size 205/45/17. Would I have any problems using these? These will be going on a 2005 MCS.
