I don't think that's the case... the deal is since its not a "normal" or popular lug pattern they special order these from Rota in China or Japan, where ever they're made, because the US Rota Wharehouse does not stock them. I'm sure if you inquired they could get as a special order but then you talking a wait. As of now 18racing is the only place I could find that actually stocked them which is rare.

I ordered from them also. they told me they had gunmetal but I wanted silver... they told me had to wait a month and I did. but they sent me and invoice as soon as they got them. I told them I didnt want to pay in advance. really nice wheels.

I always loved panasports, or rota rb or whatever :)

Great look, expecially with the 'blue'

I got mine from 18racing as well via eBay. Very easy to deal with for me. They shipped and arrived 5 days after I ordered them.

yes, thanks! And BTW, Rota wheels are made in the Philapines. We've been talking with the Calif distributor for two years about making this bolt pattern, but they wanted a large order and 3 month lead time. They finally did the order as a stock order for themselves.

Mark,

I looked on your website, but I wasn't able to locate info such as price. What is your price for four of the 15x7? Does that include shipping ?

I agree that tucking the bumper in actually makes them more attractive. Definitely improve the look. Here are some pics of mine too....

I'm desperate for some croma cd30s (or copies) but cannot for the life of me find any in the uk. I would also be open to any other cromadoras etc. obviously shipping might be problematic but can anyone help?

Chris - What are the wheels on your car now? I think they look pretty good.

Holshot -- GREAT car! I really like the lowered look with tucked bumpers. I wish road conditions in my area would make lowering my Spider practical.

I've got a set of Rotas on 205/50R15 set up with stock springs and KYB shocks and haven't had any rubbing problems so far. The wheels were purchased from Allison's Automotive and I'm very pleased with how it everything came together.

Keep up the good work -- it's inspiring!

Sorry, Craig. I did mean you. I was thinking about something else re Chris (Narfire) when I wrote the comment....
