    Default Need help: Wheel Identification

    I picked up this set of wheels but one rim needs to be repaired or replaced... but i cant find out anything about them. On the back of one of the spokes is stamped "ROTA" and they are 16x7 in size... but other than that i know nothing. They arent listein in Rota's website.

    Don't wanna sell them do you? I'd rock them...with gold powdercoated centers!

    As for their history, I believe Rota made them for Minilite after they quit producing their own wheels. Here's pic of one with the centercap...

    *edit*
    Similiar to a 3 piece Superlite wheel too.

    wow, that looks 1000x better than the rota centercap. one of the rims needs to be fixed (or replaced if not fixable) and so im trying to find out who can fix wheels... its gonna be hard to find a replacement

    EDIT:
    here they are with the fugly ass rota centercap... i would rather run without it

    There is a place in Roswell that does all of Raceworks wheels (SSR Comps and Kosei K1's)...not sure of the name though...Wheelrite maybe?

    Yo Chris, get them fix at wheel wizard. Tell them you work for toyota and get a shop discount. I just got mine fix there and they did a great job. Can't even tell the curbs...Are they 2 pieces? Didn't know rota makes 2 pieces. Anyways, the wheels look good.
