I've been looking at the Rota RB in 17 x 7.5. I really like the look, but I don't know how they would look on my car.
Google failed me too... no pictures anywhere!!!

Is there any chance that anyone has pictures? Or can tell me they will fit so I can be the first XD

How do you guys feel about them?

I would imagine it would look like an EP3 with Mini Cooper wheels.

if it was an older Honda I'd do it, but not for the EP.

These wheels are actually on my "short list" of candidates for my next wheels... multiple google searches and searches here haven't turned up any pics on an EP for me either... :mfrown:
They do look good on an EF/EG, not sure about the EP though. I do think they would look better than those Mini wheels since they have a more defined lip, also I'm considering going back down to 15's (maybe 15x8, +35 or +30 offset, on 225/50's), I think 17's are too big imo. Wish I could still do photochops, don't have any decent photo programs on my current laptop... :mredface:

Id get the xxr 513s, they look the same and are cheaper. I had them on my car 16x8s shit looked legit!

In my opinion those wheels look best on the following cars:

1. Miata
2. Mini Cooper
3. Beetle

*Not so much for the EP3, but if you like it then go for it.

Konig Rewinds are my guess... for whatever reason I think the Rota's look significantly different/ better.
Ok, had to edit when I saw the pics above... those look pretty good, I guess it's the color... are they the Konig's?
Specs?

No, it will look terrible. This design of wheel aka minilite has been around for decades. Really popular on old British sportscars. They only look good on cars that are redesigns of older cars like the mini Cooper or miata. You'll regret getting them if you decide to buy them.
