LF/WTB: 1 Rota Slip Stream 16x7+48 5x100 in Royal Gunmetal.

Like the title says, I'm looking for 1 Rota Slip Stream 16x7+48 5x100 in Royal Gunmetal. I only need one to complete the set.





If you have one or know someone who has one I would be very interested in picking it up.

Thanks man. I would be down for 18x10 but there aren't very styles available. I may end up with some 17x9's sometime.

Have you asked the recyclers if they can uncrush the wheel and give it back to you?

^^ LOL


Jourdan- Do they even make these anymore? Is it possible to just get a new set of wheels altogether, or at least find one of these in any color and just paint all four?

The wheels are discontinued. Technically I do have five of these puppies. 3 are Royal Gun Metal and 2 are Steel Gray. Above is a pic of the driver's side. Here is the passenger side.



Paint is always an option, but the polished lip would be on hell of a trick. And the wheels are in perfect condition. I feel like I would ruin them by trying to paint them.

I did find a website that has them listed for sale and I can buy just one but they want just a little under $170 which I think is kinda high for one Rota. But if I can't find one, that is an option.

How about powder coat? It will be a good quality, clean looking, durable finish, and you could freshen up the ride with a new color of your choice. Or just have a shop paint and clear them. Can't be that expensive since they're so small.

And for $170, I would get all the wheels powdercoated, with a new color to change things up. That way you also have one spare instead of one short. That is what I would do if it were me.

I guess that's what separates you from me. Different strokes from different folks. I guess you should just buy that one wheel. It will definitely be easier than hunting for a used one. Shoot, my dad curbed one of my wheels the one time I let him drive my car and it cost me $250 for one wheel. I know how much it sucks.
