The Rota Fox 17" wheel. RSR finish preview.
We are not anodizing these wheels. The folks at Rota have come up with their own version of the RSR finish.
The paint line is not exactly correct, but these are test wheels and the paint line will be changed. The wheels were re-engineered and have passed all load, impact and fatigue testing. The trial fitting will happen Thursday PM. If all goes well, full production begins right away. How do you like 'em?

Looks nice.
Any update on the weight of the re-engineered wheels? The prototypes were pretty light. |

I like them very much.
If I hadn't recently purchased a set of original 7 & 9 x 16 Fuchs, I would have already sent in a check for a set of 17's. |

I am considering these rims for my DD duties and using my Fikse rims for some R-compounds for AX and DE.

If my info is correct, the group buy is closed. Moses had started a thread about the rims and all that signed up then are getting the rims at that intro price. This had allowed subydude to go ahead with the project. His site may show the new pricing and list of finishes available.
Even at the retail pricing, this is a heck of a buy for a quality part

I think they look great Moses! I can't wait to see them on my Carrera. I only hope they'll look as good in person as they do in pictures!
Thanks again for your diligence and hard work on this. We really do appreciate your efforts. Mike
