Rota wheel buy, Flight rim interest

OK here is the attempt to get 5 spoke guys in on a rim for the Rota thread.

Names if interested in the 15 X 6.5 "Flight" at $400 per set, 110 lugs and at this stage 10 offset.

Not much point until we get 5 who agree on a style, I'm flexible on which one, lets get one settled on and go forward.

Count me in on a set of the"Fully Polished" J.SPL, if we can get the right offset and the shipping is reasonable.
I think the full polish usually cost a little extra, and I prepare to pay another $100 a set for it.

I assume were talking the catalog 15 x 6.5, +40 offset wheel size?

As for the offset, I don't think the catalog "+40" will work for non-SE's, but I understand ROTA is willing to alter offset.

Also I'd like to get center caps, if ROTA offers them. I can't believe they don't, but there is no indication on their web site.

I want at most +18 offset maybe +10 to push rim closer to the fender lip, any feedback? Probably go for Charcoal on my spokes with polished rim.

If I am reading this right we have 4 people saying J.SPL.
