Recommended Rota vendors?

It appears rspeed doesn't list Rota offerings for Mini any longer; any reputable vendors for bundled Rota options available currently?

I would give RSpeed a call. They set me up with Rota Grids and ES100s.

I am in the same boat looking for some rotas. Tried subydude.com as well at 18racing and neither have them in stock. Got a call into jaydm.com and WWW.GTMWHEELS.COM (they were recommended by rota) as well as american tire and discount tire (neither of which are near me). Looks like I will give rspeed a call.

Edit: Just called Rspeed and was told they no longer sell rotas.

Do you know when they are coming out? NO ONE has the subzeros I want in white. If they come out with something similar I would be willing.

Here's a link to Rota's inventory:

http://www.rotawheel.com/AVAILABILITY.htm

It seems to get updated every 2 weeks.

Subudude is VERY expensive, so bag them. The link I posted above ( http://www.jaydm.com/wheels.htm )is the best price I've found to date for the Rotas.

17x7.5"
4x100+45
$520.00 Per Set Shipped Anywhere in U.S

That's also $60 less then 18racing.com

after calling around all day the guy at tires.com (on the phone) was really helpful. Called around and found me a set of the rotas I was looking for with new tires and all. Gonna take them about 2 weeks to get them, but for $1000 shipped (rims and Falken tires) I am not complaining.
If you can't find what you are looking for anywhere else, I would try calling them.

My Subzeros are excellent quality. Extremely well built, they take very little correction weight. Room for any BBK.

Do these fit without any sort of spacer? What size tire are you running on them?

17" Rota SubZero's

Here's a picture of the SubZero's I just bought last week from http://www.jaydm.com/subzero.htm. I have the TCE/Wilwood 13" x .81" Street Sport kit and you can see that there was plenty of clearance all around the BBK.

On nice! I was going to get my tires from Discout Tire but they didn't have Rota's on their website so I was going to order wheels and tires seperately. I'll call them

Anyone has Rota D2's on their Minis? I'm interested in those wheels, but I want to see some pics before buying.

Grr you must have bought the last set of white subzeros ANYWHERE. I have called so many places and NOONE has them. Up to a 2-3 month wait if I wanna order them.

You are correct, I wanted black ones but they were out of them. All they had left was gold or white, DUH! got the white.

I was just on the MINIUtah website and one of the members there just got Rota Circuit 10's at Discount Tire. I don't know if this is just a Utah thing, but the Discount website isn't showing them.
