Discount tires doesn't show them on their site but if you call them they will try and find them for you. I dealt with Craig (x431) and he was very helpful even though he wound up not able to get the rotas I wanted.
Other places I have tried for rotas (they didnt have subzeros)
www.subydude.com
www.jaydm.com
www.jlbmotorsports.com
www.tires.com (you have to call)
www.GTMwheels.com
www.18racing.com
www.machv.com
www.machiii.com
www.importparts.com
www.performance5etoiles.com (yes I even called Canada and got someone speaking Frech)

I have given up my search and am just gonna order them with tires.com (with a 4-8 week wait).

We took a little ride to my local Discount Tire this weekend and they do sell Rota's and at pretty damn good prices. $119 each for 16x7 Sub Zero's. They are on back order though... but still... not bad at all. $20 less than the cheapest I found online and you don't have to deal with dragging them around to get them mounted.

Jenn, I was gonna put in an order from discount tire.com for the subzeros too. They said anywhere between 4-8 weeks. I found a different set of similar rims which they could get a lot quicker for me (but they were also more expensive)

I want to vouch for Jaydm and say they are great to deal with! I bought my subzeros from them last year (octish) and came quick and untouched! Not to mention the great prices they offer! You can not beat the price! So for anyone worried about ordeirng from JayDM, worry no more!

It seems to get updated every 2 weeks.
nparker,
Are your wheels Center Lines? Looks like RPM's.

Garrett,

When I look on Jaydm's site, I don't see Royal Black offered, only flat black. I am leaning toward that polished lip. Did you have to call them to ask for the Royal Black or maybe it is no longer offered?

Thanks,

ben

I ordered them back in Oct. So not sure if they have them in stock or not. It can not heart to give them a call. They are nice to deal with and I am sure they can help you out! As many are saying they are starting to discontinue many of the models.

I got my slipstreams from 18 racing. Only problem I had was getting center caps. I got 1 with my wheels and e-mailed to get the other 3. They sent me 3 more but they're the wrong ones. Emailed again and they said they would send correct ones. I never received those. I emailed 2 more times and haven't heard anything else. i've decided to just paint my hubs anyway.

They were very helpful during the decision making and purchasing process though.
