The ones in your pic look like 16".. the ones on the car look like 17".. could that be the difference? Or the darker spokes will make them look thinner maybe..Originally Posted by ELFMAN
Funny, I know they're ROTAs, but these actually look more like Burple's wheels than chunky RB's...

Cheers! Yeah, I loved the way it looked.. was a great car.. Mind you, if I was to do it again with a PW.. I might change a few things..
like colour coded scoop and light rings and mirrors..
..a set of these in Gunmetal...
I actually considered these OZ's as they were so different from the 'usual suspects', but couldn't work out whether they'd do the trick. They maybe look a tad small on the R56 compared to, say, a Rota Blitz, just by the way the spokes stop quite short of the rim - interesting pic tho...

I think you're right Re the 16" v 17" Rota RB's - the larger the wheel, the more 'elongated' the spoke, so you actually lose that classic 'chunkiness' on the 17.

Best PW R56 IMO
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
That's pretty much identical to what I would do,, Black out the beltline as well, and darker wheels (still love the Rota Blitz too).. might even chuck on the carbon mirrors too
Best PW R56 IMO
i tried to get rb's for my cooper but there were totally out of stock in 16's and 17's and they couldn't give me a date on when they would be back in stock so i ended up getting the rota gt3's :( i would of waited for the rb's but i really need to get new rims grr
but the gt3's still look good

Rbs look quality. Check over on mini torque a few are running them in 17" I think. I considered these plus I'm not sure but check ultralite I think they do a set similar in 17 or 18" I can't remember
