Possible Rota G-Force group buy...
I just spoke to Zoeb at WheelDude about a group buy and he said all he would need was 5 people, and its a go. This would require a $200 non-refundable deposit, and would total $900.
The sizes and offsets would be subject to the Rota engineering dept review but they will be near the sizes below: 18 x 8.5 et 42 18 x 9 et 43 18 x 8.5 pics 18 x 9 pics Lets get this started...

Zoeb said that he could do it with only 5 people. Getting 10 people seems to be difficult around here...

Don't worry, I won't go into an argument about quality again
For those interested in a rub free setup, you might want to request something around these offsets... 18x8.5 +46 offset 18x9 +50 offset Although This is a 19" wheel, the same offsets are used regardless of diameter. this should fit a 235/265 setup comfortably... |

I believe this set up could be a little better with a 4-5mm lower offset. I'm still in for my OP purposed offsets or et42 front, and et45 rear max.

Plus, with a 45 offset, a 255 in the back has a fairly good chance of rubbing |

I have 9.0 rears et43 and have 255's on my car now (Toyo R1R's) and they acutually measures with a tape measure a little over 10" of tread as they should (10.039" = 255mm). My wheel and tire do not stick out of the wheel well at all, look great and fit. I am positive et45 on a 9.0" wheel will not rub with 255's. If anyone else is interested lets get these made...

I'm at stock ride height, and even if I lower it will only be ~3/4" on KW street sports (highest setting). I do know that with the OEM suspension (which is soft) over BIG dips the wheels will go deep into the wheel well. I obviously do not know for sure, but I think it should still be OK. I say get on board and try with us!!! Your ride will be absolutely awesome with these.

With only a 5 set run, Zoeb said that all will be one color. I was thinking silver would be the most appealing for most colors. They can do other colors, however it might be hard to find 5 buyers for another color...

Wow lots of tech talk ... I really wish I understood offsets and fitment better.
All I know is I want that sexy advan rs concave look which I believe comes with a high offset
