TacitBlue Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 There's a great dealer in the UK that I just found a few weeks ago. Backstory: I'm royally ticked off with Wheeldude. We have potholes in Michigan the size of the Snake River Canyon, and yup, bent up one of Matt Grey Grid's (18x8.5). Wheeldude still had some for sale, but would not sell me a replacement wheel.... probably didn't want to break up the set(s), because he is discontinuing the Matt Grey Grid (in my size). Best he could do would be to sell me a new set of Grids in a different color, and not even 1 penny off the retail price, which I assumed would be professional courtesy on his/their behalf because it was he/they that created the shortage. So, long story short, I found a dealer in the UK 2 weeks ago who carries a HUGE variety of Rota's. Probably more than Wheeldude.... anyways, I can't think of the place's name off hand, but Daniel, the owner was awesome to work with and I got my replacement wheel from the UK in less than 1 weeks time. I've read more than one complaint like this about wheeldude. Carries certain colors for a length of time, then drops them, and then you're screwed because here in the US, he's really the only dealer of Rota's in our sizes...... lots of Rota dealers for Civics though! Anyways, I've decided to hell with Rota's and I am now in the market to sell my set and pick the sexy new 2011 WRX wheels. EDIT: Just found the site!! http://www.srbpower.com/ Daniel is a great guy to talk to on the phone too... Just love those UK accents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But super nice guy and I'd go through him again anytime. The only problem is the exchange rate of the Pound versus the Dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to order the DR-38 for US$470 shipped... PM me for details if you want. Doesn't come in hyper black though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
