They do look nice. Proper offset?
The only caveat, of course, is quality. This is a new name to me. Impressive website, though:

I think Woody @ the wedge shop sells them. Now 15x7 if they are off set more inboard you should be fine. You dont want to go outward more than the stock 13-inch allow. If you do the drivers side rear tends to rub.....unless you nip or roll the wheel arch.
They are very good wheels at a very good price. You will need the lug nuts to match the wheels. I have a set of 15X7 for use on my BMW 2002 race car, and am thinking about buying another in 13X8 just for autocrossing. Some of the local guys have been putting the Rotas on their TR8s. No complaints yet. They weigh in at about 14 pounds depending on center bore and offset. A comperable set of Panasports are almost 17 pounds. Unless you are willing to change your wheel bolt pattern, this is the only inexpensive wheel that I know of, that fits the TR8. Before these were available, I went to 4X100 on the TR8 race car so I could get multiple sets of wheels cheaply. The fact that now the TR8 and the BMW can share wheels is an added bonus.

I know a bunch of the nissan crowd I hang out with love Rotas and havn't had any problems with them. When Rotas first started getting big a few years ago I know some people worried about the quality. Anyways- They are a good price but I don't have any personal experience with them.

Hey guys, I closing out Superlites now, we started making our own wheels, so if I have any size for you, which I do have some 15x6 TR2/3/4/6 wheels left for discount prices, and other Superlite size, that may appeal to you as well, I sold the wheel on the Green TR8 above, if I rember correctly they were 15x7 fornts and 15x8 rears. I also have the new wheel (VTO Classic 8) in black and silver center for the TR 2/3/4/6 15x6, here's photos of them. Give me a call if any of this interest any of you.

Here's a pic of the silver 15x6 in the new VTO Classic 8, right now we have the 15x6 for MGB and TR2-6, coming next is the 14x5.5 (MGB etc.) and 13x5.5 (Spitfires, Spridget, etc.) they'll be available in the Classic 8 and the new Retro 4, which is modern remake of the American Racing Libre, other sizes will trickle into our stock between now and fall of 2010, our primary market is quality wheels for classic cars. I had a little say-so in the making of the new wheel, for instance I wanted a shinier machined outer rim that more resembled a hand polished outer rim and from the pictures you can see we acheived that, also weight was a big concern, our new 15x6 weighs 13.7 pounds which is almost 4 pounds lighter than the 15x6 Superlite and the same exact weight as Panasport's race wheels. Needless to say we're excited about our new wheels.
