WTB: Rota RB wheels - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anybody got a set in their garage that they want to get rid of?

I would prefer 15x7 but would also consider 16x7. Offset should be in 35 to 40mm range.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, close to Kentucky is a plus (I'm up for driving 400 miles)

Just a heads up...
Rota RB +35's don't clear the front disc brake calipers. You'll need to add a thin 5mm spacer and longer lug nut studs. That's not a real problem as they are easily obtained.

That's the first I've heard of that issue.

Many of the spokes on the newer styles are way more flush to the outer edge of the wheel, and so have more brake clearance. Whereas the Rotas are an old design which has more centralized points of attachment between the hub and the rim...

...with more free rim on the outer edges. This is wny I like the old school DB's more than any of the new styles.
