cheapies: i think like under $700 for all four (17x7f, 17x8r) in good, normal S2K offsets. fitment information is available (with out of date pricing) here: http://www.groupawheels.com/fitmentguide.htm

i talked to Group A a few months back. no go on lowering the price for a group buy, apparently, but the price is good enough already... i figured someone would have picked them up by now.

cheers,

I started that thread.


I saw the wheels and the catalogue at the Sydney Motor Show and have been talking with ROH since.

They will be making 17 and 18 inch wheels specifically for the S.

Price for the 17's should be $AUS342 per wheel or lower (that's what, about $US180), and they are keen to organise a GB through myself and two of their US distributors.

Initially there wasn't a huge amount of interest on this board so my intention was to get them then take photo's and organise a GB.

Let me know if you are interested.

AusS2000: I'm definitely interested, provided the cost of shipping from Austrailia doesn't wipe out any group buy savings. Do you have up-to-date pricing on the 18" wheels, as well as any paint/chrome options? Thanks for your footwork on this; they're great looking wheels - I'd love to pick up a set.

I've requested info and size and width.

The come in silver (pictured above) and shadow chrome which I've seen and is definitely my preference.

I'll see if I can get some pictures as well.

What's the word on this wheel? as far as Quality, weight, S2K application, etc. Is it a matter of "you get what you pay for"? sure looks good!
BTW, ROH is the main chemical constituent of a good bourbon.

ROH are an Australian manufacturer and have been making wheels for ever. They have international Quality Accreditation to QS9000. The Adrenalin are a new wheel in there standard range, but they are making sets specifically for the S2000. The offsets will be set for the S2000 from the production line.

A major reason for the price is that the US dollar is strong against the AUS and so you guys reap the benefit.
