*Sigh* What a drag... Rota Tarmac 2 source in HI?
Well, I was pretty psyched to be able to pick up my car at Sand Island today after waiting a couple of weeks for it to be shipped from the mainland, but lo and behold, just my damn luck, there's a big *** gouge that ripped a chunk off the lip of my left rear wheel
I talked to the vehicle inspector and he helped me file a claim, so now I have to talk their claims guy tomorrow to get reimbursed on the rim. The problem is, I have no idea where to get a 17 x 7.5 Rota Tarmac 2 here on O'ahu. If I do indeed need to ship from the mainland, I have no idea what shipping fees are for 1 wheel.
Can anyone please help by telling my either:
1.) Where can I get a new, gold 17 x 7.5 Rota Tarmac 2 locally OR
2.) How much shipping costs from the mainland for one 17 x7.5 Rota Tarmac 2?
Thanks guys

Wheeldude is basically Subydude is Joe... figures that he'd be the best one to ask.
I dunno what exactly happened, all I know is that I have a fat chunk of rim missing

man that sucks dude.... that is exactly why when i ordered my wheels i had them sent to my house in michigan ahead of my car. wheeldude.com tho is the place to go. they are most likely gonna be the cheapest (even tho they charge extra to hawaii) and they have great customer service.

maybe if you pm a few of the vendors on iwsti.com or something they can hook you up maybe give you a good deal on shipping 1 wheel. worldone has hooked me up before on a whole set of wheels (when i was in the mainland though) and vividracing has hooked me up before just IM vividmatt on AIM and see if he can help you out... just some ideas. good luck man.

wheeldude.com would be your best bet for a replacement...Sorry to hear about your wheel.
