So, what it sounds like, there's no need for a groupbuy for these 5x100 RKRs through them I guess, unlike wheeldude. Might want to message him to make sure he can really/actually get Rota to make/send them. I'd love to finally see these low offset RKRs on an FRS ...If they were easy/instant to get and readily available, I'd most likely get them over my current primary wheel choices - RPF1 & 57DR.. it's jus that dang watanabe look with a lip is just too dang classic and sexy to pass up ...and because racecar!

Offset is too crazy for me and the 8.5" width is too much. I have no plans to go over a 215mm wide tire as I enjoy the playfullness of the vehicle with that size tire. 17x8 with a 35-40mm offset would be what I would be interested in doing. I love the way the 18 wheel looks but a. way too heavy and b. the roads where I live are awful. Nothing against Rota quality but these roads would eat an 18" cast wheel alive.
