New Rota RB's
Have you guys seen the new rota RB's? Basically Panasport copies, 15x7 30 offset. I just picked up a set from user Lost is Black. They are pretty faithful reps and light.
I got a set in flat black. Here's a pic from his thread of the set I got.
I'll post pics when I have them mounted. I figured most of the people in RR forums would have an appreciation for 15x7's and a decent Panasport copy.

Re: (chrisw85)
I thought those whhels were like 15-16lbs.
I kinda dig them but IMO thats a little on the heavy side for RR or Autocrossing.
Rota makes like 4 or 5 other wheels 15x7 that are in the 12-13 lb range with better offsets.
Hey but if you can make them work rock on!!

Re: (Splat)
Not sure on the 108, but i dont think it will be avail. I'll try to weigh these tonight to get actual weight. And I won't be slammed on any course, and be running 195/50/15's so i think it should be okay.
Maybe do a test fit this weekend.

I await your weigh in! I got rid of my panasports cause they were too heavy and I wanted more than a +38 offset, this could be my ticket...
The worst thing about these wheels in high offsets is when douchebag guys mount your tires and drop the wheel on the spokes, ouch!
One question, are they comparably priced to the rest of the rotas?

Re: (Cobra Tim)
Lost is Black has them for I believe for $440 OBO https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1769394 here
For the price, you really cant beat them. I thinkthe only real competative 15x7 is the Drag Equip Copy, but I'd rather have these, I'm no JDM fanboy.
And yes the 15x8 will be out soon, and they will also be releasing 16's in the near future.
Like i said, if you like what you see, go to Lost.

Re: (LoSt is BlaCk)
Just in from Lost, wheel is about 15lbs. Still not bad, for a beefier wheel with a definate increase in radial strength and a great wheel.

Re: (Evan55)
See Lost's response above. They don't feel like 15lbs, they actually feel less, but that's what mine weighed in at too. Again, for the beefiness of the wheel, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Sweet news. I will be looking out for these! Any more details on that (offsets, bolt patterns
) 4x114.3 sucks and I'm too lazy to fix it.
