Anyone have pics of Rota GK-R Wheels

I am really a big fan of Enkei NT03+M wheels and was on Rota's website. I saw a wheel called the GK-R which resembles the NT03+M. Anyone have these wheels on their X?

Rota:





Enkei:

I don't, but man they looks nice. I don't think anyone will have them until wheel dude starts stocking them.


Let the Rota hating begin.

I saw a FIT with these(i think) they look a little off,I mean all rotas don't look quite as good as what they are trying to copy but these were extremely noticeable. NTO3's aren't very expensive to begin with so i would recommend buying the real thing and not an imitation(knockoff).

Yeah I think most of you are right for the price of the nt03 its probably better to go with the real thing.

I would like to see sizes for this. The problem with NT03 is that they don't fit without spacers and some people just don't like to have spacers. They also only come in silver (although that is the color I would get) unless there's a limited edition.

The Rota GK-R has yet to be imported in to the US. This is a model that was originally planned for release only in the local Philippine market. I was thinking of importing a limited number in select colors as this is an awesome model that looks great, is light weight (the lightest 18x9.5 Rota wheel to date, even lighter than our Rota DPT ), and fits without spacers!

If I had a small group of ~3 people interested in this model we could do a special order for you guys. We would ideally shoot for 18x9.5 +22 fitment on this model for the Evo X (our standard Evo X fitment). With the current Rota GK-R mold we could go as high as 18x9.5 +27 while still retaining caliper clearance without a spacer.

My thoughts exactly I absolutely love this model and have even owned a set of Enkei NT03's in the past on a different car. The downside to Evo applications is that the models with "ideal" offsets don't clear Brembo's without large spacers

Unrelated/off topic posts removed. If you want a venue to criticize Rota, I suggest somewhere other than EvoM.

18x10.5 Enkei NTO3: $1200 shipped
18x10 Rota GK-R: $1000 shipped

Im sorry to say, but this is not a TE37 vs Grid situation. Enkei is already an affordable name brand. I wouldnt buy a replica Enkei when I could get the real thing for a few pennies more.
