Greetings,
First post ever- haven't been on a car forum and haven't been into cars in 10+ years (had a hybrid EG in the '90s and an SR'ed S13 right after that; then retired from all the car shizz and been in the city ever since). But, this new FRS/BRZ has resurrected my car interests again and defo struck a new fancy in me...Anyways lol....
Very interested in these wheels.
I notice on the Rota website, they are available in:
17x8, 5x100, +5
17x8.5, 5x100, +10
I know they sound super aggressive for an 86 fit; but very similar size/offset-equivalencies have been proven to work on the frs/brz with no problems in the past...namely:

(which all of these come very close and are very similar to a 17x8 +5 or 17x8.5 +10 (check online offset/size calculators))
I think a 17x8 +5 or 17x8.5 +10 are perfect for those that want a more aggressive and flusher fit than the more typical and conservative 17x9 +35 to +44 wheels.
Couple questions:
~ Are these already being produced and/or are the "molds" already in existence/made?
~ Can't seem to find anyone online that stocks these sizes for purchase. Anyone know where to get them? (I am moving back to SoCal soon).
~ If these aren't available/in-stock anywhere, and if these molds already exist, can Rota make a set "to order" from these molds? Or, will it have to be some kind of group buy or huge order, in order to make new wheels and fire up the Kiln?
~ Colors available?
~ I assume no one has tried these on their 86 yet.. but wanted to know just in case anyone has tried these yet?
Peace
