Wheels Direct - cornflakes - 03-28-2009
I got a big favor to ask anyone who is able and willing.
Could someone call Wheels Direct (located at Sheppard/McCowan)
416-754-0997
and ask them if you can buy rota slipstream wheels in 16 inch 4x108, steel grey.
4 days ago i called them and they said they had 1 set left in the warehouse.
2 days ago i called them and they said they sold it yesterday.
Now i'm not sure if that was BS or what but i can't call them back as i've called them twice now to confirm that.
Could someone call them and just ask to see what they say?
(and please no jokes lol i'm still sitting beside myself) :S

I think its time to choose a different wheel.
Wheels Direct - cornflakes - 03-28-2009
i called billy at tires23 and he said if i order it from him Rota will make the wheel for sure and send it out but wait time could be 3 months long.
Wheels Direct - GFXjamie - 03-28-2009
well if your that set on them, then do it, otherwise check FF and FJ and see if there are any for sale. even try ebay, just watch for the scams. you will get em one way or another

I have dealt with JRP before. I ordered my Sparco seat bases thru them. They ordered on a regular stock order and they took a while but I still got them. Good guys, they know their s#!t.

If you order from JRP you will be waiting 4 months for the rims
Wheels Direct - cornflakes - 03-31-2009
well i've gone ahead and ordered 15x7.5 rota slips from 18racing....they should be in here next week!
I'm gonna put General Exclaim UHPs on them cuz i did the research and found they are only 18lbs at 205/50/15....lighter than the yokohama s drive and lasts much longer too.
Wheels Direct - Dimitri - 03-31-2009
Congrats on the purchase.
Wheels Direct - ZX3_2NV - 04-01-2009
Who did you order them from If you Say JRP They lied won't be in next week lol
Wheels Direct - cornflakes - 04-01-2009
from 18racing based out in California. I didn't want to wait 3-4 months for 16x7 so i thought i'd go with 15x7.5 and go with less weight (13.5lbs).
I'm probably going to put on General Exclaim UHPs 205/50/15s too (they are 18lbs each).
Wheels Direct - Scorcher000 - 04-01-2009
How much you pay for the Gen's
Wheels Direct - cornflakes - 04-02-2009
205/55/15s GT UHP will be $500 taxes in (including mounting/balacing and install).
