the offsets sound great--and make the most business sense to fit the neds of the biggest audience.

Any chance of producing these in a RMC finish? I know I can always get them finished aftermarket, but would be nice to just buy them that way. I wouldn't mind silver or glossy black either, but I don't care for the hyper black or gold on a black Z.

What's wrong with getting it close to flush? Even with +15 it sits perfectly and you can still run 275 tires on it w/o a fender roll, maybe even 285. I hope you know that +15 isn't even the extremely aggressive hella flush you may think it is. If Rota is gonna make Z fitment wheels, why do you want to stop them?

Thanks for 'teaching' me about rim fitment

He has already said what they are producing (the more conservative offsets), I was just trying to let those who wanted a more agressive offset know that they could still utilize these wheels.

most people want more aggressive offsets, not just for the stance, but for the lips and concavity as well. I was just letting them know that in this case, the offset affects none of these.

the one picture was posted: a (I think White) G35 had the 18x9 black setup, running spacers. he sold them not too long ago.

looked ridiculous.

We can do a special order in Rota's Titanium Chrome finish. This finish is $50 more per wheel than the standard colors. I would need at least 3 people interested in this color to get these ordered. The Hyper Black color almost looks polished though and goes very well on Black

Here's a Subaru running 18x9 +30 G-Force's in Hyper Black, as you can see the finish on the wheel is pretty shiny

The 18x10 Boost is just ready for production now, never been released before. We've had some customers run the 18x9 +30 Boost all around before with the use of spacers, it looked great Once the wheels are in the US we will have tons of pictures of them installed on our Z. I will have actual wheel pictures in a couple weeks when the wheels finish production and a thread will be up for pre-orders.

The picture above is the Hyper Black I was showing how it almost does look like a polished/chrome wheel depending on the lighting conditions.

Dan, would you mind linking me to other pictures of that guy's car? Just trying to get a feel for the color...sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Was really looking for RMC, but I may consider having that done aftermarket instead of waiting for 3 people to join in...depending too on when these start coming in from Rota, of course.

Here's the link to the rest of the photoshoot

http://247media.smugmug.com/gallery/...29163963_YUptF

The black and white 06 STi's are both running 18x9 +30 Boost's. The owner of the black STi painted the wheels Gold, this is not the same Gold that we have coming from Rota.

They are going in to production this month, I will have actual pictures of the wheels once they are done with production. I am not expecting these wheels in the US until early September though as transit is about a month by boat container. Once I get pictures I will post them up ASAP and we will have a thread started for pre-orders.

The 18x10 wheel was just made a couple days ago at Rota, no pictures on a Z yet haha. We will have plenty of pictures on our shop Z once the wheels are in the US.


First look at the Rota Boost 18x10 +20 Hyper Black Only available from Wheeldude.com

I don't have exact pricing yet but the 18x9 & 18x10 staggered setup will most likely be around $1,000 shipped.
