Default Australian based ROH wheels

I have been interested in this company for several years. When I purchased my Z last month I began a mad hunt, as most of us do, to get the perfect after market wheel. Seeing that I looked into this company prior for my Altima, I looked them up again on the internet and only found a few distributors in the states. One particular distributor answered my email very quickly and has been very patient with my questions and very helpful. They dont have a big selection of tires but they do wrap these in the Toyo Proxes T1 S'. ROH makes several different wheels however due to the offset there is only one of their wheels that will fit the z, the Drift R. He has told me that he has fit almost 20 Z's with these wheels yet none have posted or sent him pics.

My question: Has anyone any experience with this wheel and if so what is your experience?

Here is the website: www.groupawheels.com

For a picture of the wheel: www.groupawheels.com/driftr.html

The price for 19's:
9" front - $273 per wheel +24 offset = 2" lip
10" Rear - $295 per wheel +35 offset = 3" lip

Toyo's price:
245/35r19 is priced at $192.00 ea
255/35r19 is priced at $204.00 ea
275/35r19 is priced at $224.00 ea

They can even have them painted to what ever color you want. Pics below.

Comes as a package deal to your door. I asked about the TPS and he said stock would work, to put temp valve stems in and send him the originals or to purchase from Nissan and send to him for installation.

Gentlemans name is Jeffery Curran at GroupA in Arizona (866) 764-8729.

Check out the Aussie ROH website - I've just put a pair of ROH's on my company Kangaroo. It handles much better around corners now but I seem to have lost a bit of spring.

I've also got a mate who put a set of 3-piece Simmons on his Joey....fair dinkum!

I was in Brisbane back in February and I was trying to figure out how I could buy four ROH wheels and fit them in my suitcase! Nice wheels, good quality... been around a long time.

I've been looking at these ROH wheels for about a year. Are you saying the R/T or the Fury wheel (18 X 8) won't fit the Z?

No, because I was looking at the Fury myself. I thought it was a beautiful wheel, however when I emailed this distributor he told me that due to the offset required by the 350z, the only wheel that would fit is the Drift R. The gentlemans name is Jeffery Curran at GroupA in Arizona (866) 764-8729. You can check with him for further on this. If you find anything different let me know..Do you have a distributor close to you that sells these wheels?

The only place I know that sells these wheels is GroupA, which sucks. I've emailed them twice....no response.
