The fenders are different from what was mentioned on other thread talking about the same flares. I have not been out there with another S30 to compare.

yeah i just found those lol. i'm wondering if the company will keep selling those wheels after that group buy is over. it looks like they got their 25, and made the purchase. but would the company still make a set in a few months? i'm just wondering. i posted in the group buy thread.

and snw, no you can't find those on rotawheels.com. they don't have these special wheels posted on their website.

they might have left overs but im pretty sure they will go back to the + offset. rudy said they are kinda losing money on these wheels.

nope, that's the right pattern. Saying they are not on the website makes no sense. Snwy's reply was very appropriate!

true that. so they do carry 17x9 and 10's with negative off sets normally. what's the difference between the rb and the rbr? they really look exactly the same. so if i were going to get these wheels in a few months, i'd just have to get the rb's? that's just fine with me! but really, i probably won't end up with an s30. just one of my several day long obsessions which will soon end, and i'll be back to thinking about my z32

a comparison between rb and rbr. if you would of read hybrid thread the rbr spokes are more flat while the rb are curve.

they look awesome.

i looked back at the hybrid thread, but it's about 50 pages long. so, from the rim in looks exactly the same no matter what width and offset is used? the spokes don't change shape to change the off set?

it's really hard to find the size wheels that i like. to get the ones like 260 just got, you've got to get them through that rare group buy that's almost done, then they will be unavailable again. other than that, you have to go smaller, or get a positive off-set, or go custom, which, from what i have found, will cost at least $800 each all in all. i am not having much luck finding any style wheel in that very desirable size. i'm really looking for somewhere to get wheels the same size as 280zforce's. i'm pretty sure custom is the only way on those.
