View Full Version : Rota Wheels Group Buy

Ive been talking with a few suppliers and trying to work out the kinks in a few different group buys. Rota was first on my list so...would anyone be interested in ordering a set for christmas? :) I'd like to shoot for 5 - 10 orders, if you're interested please reply to this thread with the wheel style, size, bolt pattern, color and I will check the availibility for ya.

As for pricing, please reply with your request and I will PM you with a quote. Generally, for this GB, the prices will be 10% beneath SubyDude's. Regarding when...(assuming this is post holiday shipping rush hour), it should take about a week (5 business days) to get from the warehouse to you guys. In addition, I wanted to add that I can do tires as well (most brands). If you'd like to include tires into your order, we're underneath tirerack by a few dollars as well :wavey: If you'd like them to be mounted and balanced to your brand spankin' new set of rotas, its an additional cost.

Enjoi,
alex

This group-buy will close Friday, the 6th of December.

I'd love to, but unfortunately tires of that caliber demand too much green and wheels of that size are going to put me right back into rubbing issues. I want to roll the fenders, and I will, at some point, invest in a 2nd set of wider, track ready rims. For now, I just want something that's stylish, cheap and reliable.

The prices should be right underneath subydude's. Is there a wheel you're interested in?

Regarding price inquieries, I will reply tomorrow.

We were shooting for 5 or so confirmed in's. Thus far, I do believe you are the only one to 100% confirm their interest. I am still waiting on replies from most of those on that list above.

Why can't you post the price and that might raise more interest?

Alex
12-31-2006, 12:24 PM
If you are interested in a wheel, then, let me know and I will get you a quote. The prices are beneath subydude and tirerack.

Subydude has Rota SDX's 17x7.5 et53 5x100 56.1hb in flat black and full royal sports bronze. SD also mentions that other color options are possible.

Would you be able to get a hold of this wheel with those specs and with a polished lip? If so, I would be seriously intersted. This wheel is the closest to exactly what I want, but for some reason I really want a polished lip.

I might want some tires too.

Thanks

Alex
01-01-2007, 06:25 PM
According to them, what you're looking for is the royal gun metallic finish (gun metal w/ polished lip). They have quite a few sets of that color, however, they are all for 5x114.3. They is Rota USA btw. I can see about ordering you a set if you are seriously interested.

We can do tires no problemo.

Cheers,

SubiNoobi

Bummer. Since I can't use 5x114 and I really wanted the 53 offset, I think I'll have to pass on the royal gunmetallic.

Thanks for checking on that though!

BTW, did they have any in the 53 offset? (Rota SDX 17x7.5 et53 5x100 56.1hb in flat black or bronze)

If you happen to remember, but don't go out of your way to check. I really don't need to be spending money on wheels right now anyway.

Man... I know that many people are interested, but not that many people confirmed the order. Alex, I'm gonna order my Stoptech BBK. I'll ask Mike how long it will take to get delivered. If this GB doesn't end, i guess I have to go with other choice. Let me know how everything goes.

Alex
01-03-2007, 01:43 PM
Ive never heard of it, it isnt even on SubyDude's site. I'll call today and ask.

Yeah we can get them :) Ill have a price for you in a few hours, just got off the phone with Rota.

Alex
01-03-2007, 02:01 PM
At this point, I should be able to fill all the orders. Fafnir, SOsejIbOI, SubiNoobi, seeingred, if you are 100% interested, I will have quotes sent out to you tonight. I want to close the GB on Friday w/ at least 5 orders.

I know I wanted some wheels. But I am not sure how to find the right size. So newbie question here. What do you guys think is the right size/best size of wheels for my stock car without having to do any type of additional work to the car besides fitting the wheels on the tires and putting them on and making them look awesome. I have a 2006 impreza wrx. Please advise.

Alex
01-03-2007, 05:19 PM
Well I'd recommend 48+ offset (stock is 50something). 18 x 8 should fit no problem in that size with a 225 - 235 tire...The question is do you want a 17 or 18" wheel? I can also have tires wrapped to your new wheels if you're interested as well.

MrCoffeeATL
01-03-2007, 08:48 PM
can you get 1 rota SDR 17X7.5 5X100 48 offset 56.1 STLGREY? even subydude will not respond to my email requests.

thanks :)

Alex
01-04-2007, 12:54 AM

Its like I said originally, the GB prices are 10% beneath SubyDude's. Have at it, I am discounting everything. Tire prices are a few dollars beneath tirerack as well.

I can't get more wheels this time around but next time perhaps. maybe i should sell my stockers since i never use them....

I placed the order yesterday. Not sure whether it's okay to post the price, BUT I really got great deal. You guys missed out really awesome deal. I ended up going with 18" w/ all season tires in hoping that I will have 2nd set wheels for track duty. I learned my lesson in hard way when I took my Falken FK451 to the track, and they chunked out pretty bad.

FYI, I paid ONLY $1210 SHIPPED for Tarmac2 18" w/ Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S 225/40/18!!! Thanx for great hook up, 10th st JDM!!


PS. RE92s really do suck~ No more RE92s in my life.
