Very nice!! Will they be in 7x17 size for narrow bodies just wondering??

Great work Joe! They look great. I'd like to see those on a silver Targa.

Great looking wheels, I really like the hyper black. From my days in jdm cars rota always made some good wheels, glad to see they are helping out the Porsche crowd...one day maybe i'll have a 911 of my own to put some of these wheels one..

now, if they'd just make some copies of the Ruf wheels......hmmmmm

Hyperblack.... oh, yeah!

I 've gotta say that I like the retro color. But when did "Gunmetal gray" become "Royal Hyper Black" ?

They are not the same. Here are pictures of Rota's "Boost" wheel in gunmetal and in hyperblack. Gunmetal on top.

Wow, I think those would look really great on my black 88.

What's the word on when these (any/all finish variations) will be available for real?

Subydude is in the Plilippines now overseeing the first production run. The pics at the top of the post are part of that run. It is my understanding that the first container will ship for the US next week.

Very nice looking wheels, Got any pics of other finishes?
In particular the ones with polished lips and petals?

Also do you have any idea on a ship date for those of us who made the pre-purchase?

Thanks.........KC

The Hyper Black rota,s would look very nice on your silver car Moses

Any news on the 9x11x17 rota,s ?

Cheers,

island911 · 07-03-2007, 08:31 AM

Wow. Their Gunmetal looks almost like ship grey. . .like it has very little metallic. The background doesn't help that one either. Where as the 2nd image has the blue/grey fade -- that really helps pop the blue hue's of a proper gunmetal metallic. Nice photo work. ....but that is still gunmetal grey metallic in my book. (not black, and certainly not hyper black)

Thanks. Joseph wants to get the pre-orders on the 7.5 and 9 X 17s filled before doing a turbo fitment. Maybe Joe will chime in on expected shipping and delivery dates.

I don't think it will be too long. I've been to the Subydude warehouse. Those people can move wheels.

What are you talking about? Moses' car is clearly Royal Hyper White.

DARISC · 07-03-2007, 09:13 AM

Those are truly beautiful wheels! In my opinion, picky remarks regarding what the colors are named are irrelevant. The wheels are very nicely photographed, look like fine jewellry!

Are there any photos available of the back side of the wheels showing the stamps relating to testing - TUV, SUV or whatever applies?

djb25 · 07-03-2007, 11:30 AM

Has anyone tried these wheels on a narrow-body car?

The 7.5x17s, of course - the 9's aren't going to fit without a hammer...
