This may be a pretty good deal after all. My guess is that they have a 67.1mm center bore like most of the available Rotas. You'll need 67.1mm to 56.1mm centering rings - aluminum if you plan to track or AX which you can order from your local Discount Tire. You'd probably be saving about $150-200 over the best deals you can probably find for Rota Slipstreams online. That kind of savings will buy you some shoes for a wheel or too.
