Where to get rota wheels

Postby hsmidy » Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:24 pm

Hey

so in short i have found a set of wheels that a company called rota wheels make that i want, but after looking through most of the on the net that sell mags none of them stock rota wheels.

so the question is who in NZ stock rota wheels?

Rotas seem to be listed on trade me quite alot a few months back. Not sure who imports them though, if anyone at all.

But why buy the real rims when for next to nothing can get copies of unknown quality?

Emperor, your idea makes no sense :lol: :wink:

There was a guy who had some limited sets, but he was not bringing them in, he was on trademe,

As far as I know there is no one in nz importing such wheels.

Genuine 3 piece? If not then you can't get them legally widened anyway.

not to mention the lack of quality over the genuine items...

I used a set of Rota GT3 rims and they were really nice. Had them on the car for nearly 2 years track use only. Sold them off as needed something to clear my new brakes. Got some new Rota Circuit 10s now.

Quality wasnt really an issue at all with them. Even had a massive rock get jammed behind the caliper and spoke of the mag. Nothing wrong with the mag at all!, bent lug mounts on the HUB!! Just a graze behind one of the spokes.

I actually haven't heard of anyone breaking a Rota, that pic was on an American car forum, the guy actually ran into a MASSIVE pot hole and then the story just got exaggerated.
