Is there any hope for this one?
Is there any hope for this one?
Despite many websites offing these for sale, in sets or as singles, it turns out none of them actually have them for sale, as they have been discontinued by the manufacturer, and everyone seems to be out of stock.
If anyone can find one Rota Subzero Lightweight wheel in 18x7.5 and 5x114 fitment, any colour, I would be amazed, but also very grateful!
I have seen others posting about having wheels straightened as part of a refurb, and seeing as I cannot source a replacement, I thought I would ask if anyone thinks I have any chance of ever getting this one straight again?

The whole wheel looks like it's warped, I doubt that can be repaired but worth posting up on the WIM forum to ask them as they've done some amazing repairs in the past.

I thought of the WIM forums, but I am not a member there, so it's easier to post here!

Well I've been storing them for 18 months already, and I'm not just gonna throw them away! A popular wheel a couple of years ago, especially with the Honda crowd, so someone will have a need at some point. Problem is new wheels will cost me a grand! Which I do not have.
