FS: Group Buy: 17" Rota Torque in Gunmetal, Similar to Work Emotion CR Kai and Enkei PF01 Options

[JamesE]

Thanks to PL-41-ER I discovered the Drag DR-31. I had previously thought this wheel was not available in Gunmetal. I found in-stock and ready to shop at Discount Tie Direct...

I called them to verify. They are in-stock. Ship weight is 20 lbs. which means it is ~19 lb. wheel.

I still prefer the 7.5" width of the Rota, but I'm tired of waiting. This wheel search has been a very long one for me. Unless there is some interest in the Rotas very soon I'm going to abandon the group buy idea and spring for the Drags. They are even a couple hundred dollars cheaper, and they are Matte Gunmetal instead of Gloss. Heck, I've pretty much talked myself into it already!

Those Drags have the exact specs that I want... now I dunno whether to pay almost twice as much per wheel for Enkei RPF1s, or get these...

What are some good quality Japanese brand wheels? I've been looking at Rays but am curious about others that are out there that might work with our cars

has this GB topic been op approved? no reputation....just looking about

Yes it was approved by presure2. I put a small note at the end of the OP. And I do have a rep of 1 for what it is worth. My full name is James Elterman. Some people active in the import tuning and racing community might recognize the name.

Yeah that rep came from me! Great guy to deal with, if I had the cash; I'd be all over this GB.

GL James!
