Rota RB Wheels, 15 x 7? Need Opinions and To See Owner Photos

I'm considering purchasing 15 x 7 Rota RB wheels from 18racing.com here in California.

They have 4 x 110 bolt pattern (with +20 mm offset) for first gen RX-7 (with a long wait of 2 to 3 months for delivery from Phillipines. They ran out of silver stock). The price is very good at $500.00 delivered (SoCal).

Question: Do any RX-7 Owner's Club forum members own such Rota RB wheels, and if so, can you pls. post some pics?

Not familiar with the particular wheels you are asking about, but I had a set of Rota wheels several years ago. They were good quality, reasonably lightweight, 15 inch, can't remember the width. I paid about $100 each from Discount Tire. Mine were the SE bolt pattern. I remember they ran smooth with no balance weights.

The Rota RB is the Panasport look-a-like.
