Where to buy rotas
 
Now before I get bashed, I'm really digging the rt5. The main company that sales it is wheeldude but I hear bad reviews as of late. Anyone got history? Wonder if it's safe to buy from them or is there any other company that sales the rt5's.

You can buy Rotas literally anywhere. Not like they're a mega rare JDM wheel that you need to jump through hoops to get into the US

Can't find the rt5 18x8.5 in hyper black on eBay. Just wondering if there's another seller besides wheeldude, because that's the first link to come up on google.

maybe it's a sign to not buy rotas

haha I am sure if you are just DD they will be fine. Problem with replica wheels is when they fail they end up like this, where as a real wheel just bends, and causes a lot less damage when it fails.

Still cheaper to replace everything it breaks than buying a "real" wheel. I'm not 100% convinced you're not paying for a name with any wheel over 500$. Kinda feel like the rpf1s and rs055 kinda prove that it can be done without the comical price tag. Not saying reps are as good as enkeis just that rays are over priced
