Reply With QuoteThis may be a stupid question but, do they all have to be bronze or can we get one of their other colors? I might be interested as I love the look but not the 0 offset.
Rota Grid V 15x8 +20 - Special Order
Currently the only sizes available for this wheel are:
15x7 +20
15x7 +0
15x8 +0
If you don't know what this wheel looks like, it's a "replica" of the TE37-V and there is a thread here that has pics of the wheels mounted on various Miatae starting around page 10.
I've been in touch with Jenny at 18racing.com and they said that if we can get 3 people together to put deposits down on the Grid V in 15x8 +20 (Bronze) they can get a run specially made in this size. IMO - this is a pretty no-compromise size for the NA and NB Miata. It'll fit decent sized tires with no fender pulling and still looks very flush without the "poke" of the OMGSUPERHELLAFLUSH style.
Cost will be $600/set (Shipped). This arrangement will be 1/2 deposit up front and 1/2 due when the wheels are done in 2-3 months.
I am not collecting money. If you want to participate please contact Jenny directly:

With regards to colors, every 3 sets can be a different color. So if we have 6 people ordering wheels we can order 2 different colors.

Still waiting on info regarding the brake clearance. I did find out that these will have a Miata-specific 54.1 hub bore.

Not sure if you are trying to abide by STS rules, but if you are, then you cannot go wider than 7.5".
Do you know if i can get 2 15X7+0 Front and 2 15X8+0 Rear for a stagger look?
Call or email Jenny and find out. Though, I don't know if I would recommend running staggered wheels on a Miata just for the look of it. It could have a very undesirable impact on handling performance.

Okay, folks. I have confirmation that these will clear Miata brakes on the NA and NB. I've placed my deposit. I think we actually have enough interested people to get a 54.1mm hub bore on our order. Just need one more person to step up with a deposit! Call Jenny and put it down!

Yea i forgot about that..I'm out in that case
what is the weight?
~15lbs a piece. Since this size has never been made there is no exact weight. The 15x7 is about 14.5lbs.

Just received word that Rota backed down on doing this custom size/offset. Not sure why. Whatever the case, this custom size is no longer going to be available.
Time for plan B.
