Default Help needed sourcing new wheels

Hi all

I need some help getting hold of some new wheels as my tyres are due to be replaced in the next week or so. I wanted to take advantage of the Rota offer in the trader section but they are not able to provide the slipstreams in the full polished version, also contacted Rota directly but as they couldnt confirm a delivery date I couldnt place an order.

Ideally I want a set of staggered 17" 5 spokes (7.5 front and 8 rear with the correct offset) as I dont like other types. The new style MY09 spoke wheels are ok but I would prefer after market than oem. Not got any pictures to hand but also like twin 5 spokes similar to momo arrows but an updated version would be better. I have been looking for a while for some integral gt1's but not sound any in the uk yet. I dont want to import a set due to he additional cost.

Can any of you guys help with any links etc?

Thanks in advance

What about Work Emotion wheels? I googled those momo arrows and they look similar.

They look the same as Roto torques, they look ok but not sure if I would be happy with the look of them.

Other way round buddy Rota copy all of the decent wheels!

You could always have a look at nengun to see what they come up with too. Hope it helps.
