Where is the cheapest place to buy rota wheels? I went to http://www.machiii.net but something is messed up with there internet order system and they wont call me back nor answer a email which has mad me highly pissed. Also their phone kepts giving me a dead signal. I just hate when ppl. run a bussiness with shitty service. If anybody knows a place, please post. thanks aaron

I got mine from http://www.seriousauto.com/. They had great customer service. Lowest price is not always the best way to go. Mine were $100 a piece. Don’t forget the hub centric rings. 59mm.

I'll second Serious Auto. I got my rota's from them and was very pleased with the service.

Of course, finding out they are located half a mile away didn't sway my opinion :D

I have the Circuit 8 on my car. 8X100 this just means have 8 holes in the wheel instead of 4. A lot of wheels are like that. Look at a picture and you will see what I mean.

I think the Circuit 8's and other Rota's only come in 38mm. That is just fine. Between 35-42mm is ok for this size wheel.

15x6.5" Rotas come in 4x100 with 40mm offset, which works beautifully with a 195/50/15 tire. You will have about a finger's width of clearance between the rear strut and the tire sidewall.

Hubcentric rings? Wha? My SubZeroes came without rings, and were bored *exactly* for SE-R hubs. They fit like a glove. YMMV. Ask whomever you order from before finalzing the deal.

And... I bought my Rotas directly from Rota in California. www.groupbuycenter.com always has a GB going on, and would probably be a good place to start.

Good luck. Great wheels.

I also remember from a previos post that your wheels had a different finish then the newer ones. Seriousauto told me on the phone that they changed some things and improved the finish. I can tell you the mine needed the rings. Put them in myself.
