Default Inovit or Rota alloy wheels, April 07

It must be about time to organise another group buy

Either Inovit or Rotas, with a choice of 17 or 18".

Once I've got an idea of the level of interest, I can find out some prices, unless someone already has a contact who'll give us a good deal.

Who's interested?

Nasty. Who were the suppliers? We'll need to check that whoever supplies, can actually fulfil the order.

Rota's are fine with me

I've just had some gold 18" Rota GRA's from Rarerims with Goodyear Eagles. Top class service. I spoke mainly to Julian over the phone. Prompt next day delivery. Would definitely highly recommend Rarerims.

Have a look at some of the wheels here: Rare Rims

We'll get some discount on the prices there. Some wheels may not be available (SDRs aren't currently in stock) and some wheels may have extra discount (not the most popular wheels though).

Inovits are cheaper than Rotas, but I think Rotas are lighter, and have a better reputation for quality. And we should also be able to get them (see the post by Kinghorn at the top of the page).

I think you will find Rare Rims are the main UK supplier for Rota's... if your after genuine I would talk with Julian. I'm sure I was the last one to do a GB from Julian so if you search my name and specify this section in the search that should give you some ideas.

Simon

Yep, I've read through that GB. I hope you get a good result, either with delivery of some wheels, or your money back so you can buy these.

I had looked through the previous Rota GBs. I'm dealing with Matt at Rare Rims, and he's looking into stock and pricing.
