New Rota Wheel Supplier - Identical wheels CJ used to sell

I'm glad you were able to find another place to get a set but Kudos to CJ for introducing the right offset to Rota. Rota only had the ET30 available and decided to make the ET25 since so many people asked for it. The other feature about CJ's group buy was the fact that you would be able to use a big brake kit with the rims because it had the correct center bore size. I'm not so sure if the set you picked up has the same size. Take care.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Interesting country of origin on those Rotas. My Superlites are from "down under".

They do look very nice - let us know how you like the ride (15" vs. stock 13").

ps: Put a good coating of wax on both sides of the wheels before you install them on the car. It makes it easier to keep them clean.

Jim thanks for the tip. I thought the same thing...my first thought was I got replica wheels. Googled and found out there headquarters are in the Philippines.

If CJ can't get you the wheels you want call Joe at Wheeldude.com out in Freemont. I think he's the cousin to one of the Rota owners in the Philippines.

in proper 2002 offset through any vendors?

Yes, I just bought a set from Auto Innovations. I believe they still have a set. They are the ones for a 2002, et 29, perfect fit. Send me an e-mail if you need contact info. spkastner at comcast dot net.

I always do it right the second time.
