Where can I buy Rota wheels and/or parts? The Miata has a set of 15x7 RB's on it and one is missing a center cap. The Rota website shows Cosmic marketing in Cali as the only US supplier. I e-mailed them over 3 weeks ago with no response and they don't answer their phone (the voice machine says inbox is full).
Help?

I've had good luck with 18racing.com
Years ago I bought Rotas from this guy http://www.wheeldude.com/wordpress/
Mayhaps that will be of some help to you.

Just as a counterpoint, I was part of the group buy from hell with 18Racing, and they handled themselves very poorly IMO. They failed to meet their promised delivery date by several months, to the point that I gave up and bought something else. I ended up selling the Rotas before they ever shipped, and for less than I had paid (it was a non-refundable custom order). 18Racing sent them to the wrong place when they finally did ship (I think all the wheels in the buy ended up going to the guy who organized it). Then I had to deal with an angry buyer who didn't get his wheels, which I was powerless to fix. It really sucked all around, and I wish I could have back the hours I spent on hold with them trying to figure out what was going on, and fixing all the billing and shipping screwups they made. I spent most of my lunchbreaks for about a month just trying to get it all straightened out.

me too (I think 9 or to years ago)
Good service back then. I'll be in the market for some new ones when I find my next beater. They're all over ebay FWIW.

You should try being on the other end of a forum-organized group buy. They're terrible things.
