Rota dealers for classic Subys (that aren't Wheeldude)???
Quick question, do you guys know of any other online Rota dealers out there that generally carry wheels more geared towards older Subys (offsets in the 40 range)?
I have waited this whole year to buy a set from Wheeldude, but when I went to purchase yesterday not only did they not have the top 3 wheel choices that I wanted, but the guy on the phone said they weren't gonna carry the classics (Torque, DPT, etc) in the 42-ish offsets anymore???? I am really bummed right now. I Googled for hours last night- almost no one carries offsets more than 30, and the ones i found were no more than 8" wide. I'm not looking for monsters, just a simple Bronze set of 17x9 or 18x8.5s. Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

How old are we talking? GC? Justy? BRAT? 360? 1500? Ki-84?

Ki-84 will be the hardest.
There are two wheels available but they are already mounted to fuselage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ki-84 http://www.chiran-tokkou.jp/english/...ate/index.html Krzys PS I enjoyed the search. |

I googled and in less than 30 seconds I found at least 2 dealers (including wheeldude) selling 17x9 +42 dpt's.
Most 9" wheels with proper sized tires will require fender modification. |

Over 50% of whats on Wheeldude's site are out of stock & wont be carried anymore. I didn't find a single other one (outside of NZ) in 2 hours of looking (including fleabay). I plan to roll my fenders.
