Did some low skill photoshopping of Rotiform wheels to get some idea of the looks. They are definitely a modern wheel company, but I like them myself. I'm really digging the goooold.

I like #s 1, 6, 7, & 9. 3, 4, & 5 actually look like Gen4 Corvette wheels to me, some of the others are way too busy and would be a nightmare to clean. The updated phonedial looking ones with the polished lip are one of the best!

Offsets are too low. Really need to be in the high 50s Minimum. Low to mid 60s even better. A 50 on the front will rub the outer fender lip during cornering, especially if the fender isn't rolled. I had those exact wheel on my Spyder but with a 65 offset in the rears. The 50 fronts were too far out and caught my right front fender lip in a sharp left turn with a mid-corner bump. Rolled the lips and went to a 57 front offset in the new set.

I didn't even realize that the first few sets of Rotiforms are Corvette C4 clones. I liked them the best until you posted that lol. Also, my model car in the pics is a GTS, while my car is an S2, so that needs consideration for a more period correct wheel than an S4/GTS would need.

What's the going rate for a full set of Cup IIs? Any source besides eBay and patience?

Thanks DeWolf. I am going to Plastidip my wheels black based on the pics below. If the look grows on me, they will be painted permanently that color.










Here is my car as it looks today wearing 986 Boxster S Design II wheels:
