Default Official site for Rota wheel custom sizes

If only this site had been up back when I tried and failed to get Rota's attention last year... Oh well, check out http://www.therotaspecialist.com/

I put in a request for Slipstreams in the stock S2000 sizes, in gunmetal with polished lips. I wasn't too sure about the color, but I thought that the gunmetal would be less offensive to most people than red, white, or black. I think that silver probably looks pretty ugly with the Slipstreams.

Note -- a few minutes later I saw the news that the J.SPL is a new wheel that is even lighter than the Slipstream, so I put in a request for those. Unfortunately there's no way to "take back" the other requests.

I've been in touch with vendor over at honda-tech.com and he says he's getting 16" slipstreams custom made from rota to fit S2000s. That site you posted looks nice though... might have to put in a request for the JSPL if they're lighter.

That shop is taking requests for sizes that Rota doesn't manufacture yet.

I'd like to get a set of stock size & offset wheels for autocrossing in Stock class. The wheels I requested are the 17" sizes.

Rota will make you just about any size/offset you want, you just have to place a large order. Perhaps a S2ki vendor would be willing to do it?

Well, these guys seem to already have a system set up and know what to do. It's apparently not that easy to get Rota to even talk to you. I tried several times and never got a single reply.
