Where can you buy Rota RBs? I've googled and haven't found a price on them or somewhere to buy them anywhere. Thanks in advance

 

I know there are some RB on Ebay.

Good Luck

I'm not sure what you are looking for in wheels but if you like the classic MINI wheel design then also consider ASA JH6 (not available in 15")

Comes in Bright Silver finish
16x7 $169 each et+42mm 17.5 pounds (195/55-16 or 205/55-16)
17x7 $195 each et+42mm 19 pounds (205/45-17 tires)

Or Chrome Finish
16x7 $269 each et+42mm 18 pounds
17x7 $295 each et+42mm 19 pounds


With tirerack you can order your wheels with tires mounted to save that expense and you have a good selection of possible tires to choose from. Shipping tends to be very reasonable and fast. Talk to Alex@tirerack.com for more info.

 

The ASA wheels have too much offset for my tastes. I like the "deep dish" look that the RBs have, and appear to be even deeper than the panasports, which is why I'm inquiring about them.

I'd like to get the RBs in 16", but 18racing doesn't have 'em


Thanks for the help, guys

 

OK, I'd be concerned about the deep dish look for the RBs.
Send Jessica an email and mention you heard from us at NAM and ask her to send you a picture of the actual rim in the finish you want just to make sure that the amount of deep dish is to your expectations.

Reason is that RBs come with other offsets and some are for the Miata. Some offsets are extreme and it's possible that the pictures we have are of those rims and not the one for the MINI with +30 to +35mm offsets.

If you want 16" RBs then figure out the finish and maybe ask for a custom offset and MINI hub bore of 56.1mm and tell Jessica you want them made for us MINI drivers. If there is enough interest (start a thread) they could do a special run.

I'd suggest 16x7 et+42mm 56.1mm hub bore. This would fit the MINI.
If you wanted the lightest weight and stock sized fitment good for autocrossing and lowered suspension then-
16x6.5 et+45mm 56.1mm hub bore. 4x100 bolt pattern.
I'd guess weight to be about 16-17 pounds each.

 

What about the 15" size? how do these compare to Konig Rewinds?

thanks

 

Does anyone have pics of the these on a Mini?

 

Papa Joe at R-Speed for the hook up -->

 

16" RBs are coming. http://www.rotawheel.com/

 

flat black or gun metal w/ polished lip looks very nice

 

Nice. What about estimates on weights?
Good selection of finishes-

Konig Rewinds are 8 spoke and similar classic design
15x7 and et+40mm
see

See pics in posts #11 and #21 (good examples).

 

How's the RB wheel quality? Some reviews state they tend to crack? Any dealers in Hawaii?
Thank you

They are basically knock offs of popular wheels.
Moderate in cost, weight and strength.
OK on street use
Finishes vary
Widths and offsets vary by design.

Check with various wheel shops and just ask if they carry Rota or not.

Check with Fastmini.net, they can confirm if rota wheels will fit a new MINI's 14mm wheel bolt or not. Change out the TPMS and put them on the new wheels is OK

I would agree, they are a good all around wheel for the price but are not a race wheel or perfectly finished bling show car wheel.

They are a huge relief to my old s-lights (bricks heavies lead shoes).

 

A variety of pics here.
