So only wheels for the FK8 at the minute but they said in a comment on Instagram they will be making more.. 17" included Naturally I asked for 17 x 10 +20 and +40!

Let's hope this lowers price on second hand sets to!

Awesome! I really want a 10j et20 Set! Preferably 18 inch

Man, I thought we'd got enough copies of the Rota Slipstream already.

Lol ?

No 17 x 10 being made.. only 17 x 9.5

My wheel search may be over if they make fd friendly sizes

 

[Simaroon]

Oh well, after waiting five years + to get my hands on a decent set of these and then succeeding, a few months later they start producing them new again and will most likely be everywhere now. Typical

They will still cost like £2.5k a set and probably limited run each time so don’t think you’ll need to worry yet dude ?

But yeah annoying for you! Lol

Still be sought after as the old wheels are stamped made in Russia, new ones are made in Japan

Yea not really fussed, just typical timing. I’m surprised Rota havnt got a copy out yet anyway.

Interesting to know the knew ones are made in Japan.

Ah right ??
I don’t really look to be honest, I’ll have a little nose at them now tho

Some interesting sizes on the pre-order, some will require some massaging to get on:

18 x 9.5 +45
18 x 10 +35
18 x 10.5 +22

I messaged Matt at icb this morning and he said 17” will come as 9.5 with +18 and +40 ET available, said they would be out in a few months or so ?

Didn't know they were releasing 18s will have my eyes on those 10.5s!

Ideally you'd want 18 x 9.5 and 18 x 10.5 +18 for flush fitment on a stock body if they do the offsets they used to:

Eric’s were 17”s werent they?

 

[tomCTR]

They are doing Evo 2 Type and not the MP’s

So MP’s maybe will become the rarer wheel ?

 

[Chris_Ward]

He did both. His 17” were 17 x 10 +40 for the front and 17 x 10 +20 on the rear. Will grab a pic when I’m on my laptop later.

Difference is the hub centre and the centre caps right? Either way, awesome wheel, and was what I wanted before I bought my TE37SLs.
