Trouble finding details and prices on wheels

Decided on Rota Subzeros and had no problem finding prices...except that they've apparently been discontinued and despite multiple web sites listing them, phone calls confirmed they were all out of stock.

So, I'm looking for alternate wheels and am overwhelmed with options. Found a couple of Rota options (Circuit 10 and Cobra 3) but can't get any info on them (like, will they fit over big brakes) or worse, prices. The Cobra 3 for example is on the Rota site but can't find a vendor that carries it.

Ideas?

Recommended alternatives to Subzeros? 17", white is what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Maybe the price is too high, but you could save up a little longer and buy the real wheels that the subzeros are a copy of? They're still available and come in white.

Check with 18Racing.com

None in white if that's what you're looking for. But 17x7.5 is available and then get them painted the color you want.

Simple. Buy them in any color and have them powdercoated.

I just picked up a set of used gold SubZero's for $400 a few weeks ago. I've had my black and red ones for years. They are light and I like the design so we have two sets (among the other 5 sets of wheels in the garage)

Check Ebay.com and Craigslist in all states.

I checked for Racing Hart CP035 and found it's been discontinued as stated.
Plus it's expensive and rare these days.

You can settle for any good shape 17" Subzeros and do powercoat to white and then the finish will be good and one color and any damage can be removed before refinishing.

Check around in your area for good powdercoat shop about $75 each wheel plus repairs.

I just picked up the used ones I was looking at from a local craigslist seller. Already white...one brand new still in the box, one dirty but otherwise excellent condition, one with a little rash, and one with a lot of rash and peeling paint. $250. Sweet deal.

Thanks for all the assistance!
