so I have what thought was a Rota slipstream in a 15x6.5 38offset in flat black.I've tried numerous places to find this wheel and no luck. Everyone says its not a Rota. then what brand and where can I find one.

Rotas have groves in the spokes. drags dr23 has a different lip were it meets the valve stem. any help from anyone. or does anyone have a spare they want to sell.ty

 

pics of back of spokes and mounting surface?

 

ill get one tonite when I go to storage again.

 

ok, basically looking for markings and or anything important

 

could be a traklite version

 

Tracklites have a different lip design around the valve stem. I was reading somewhere that it might be a flik blast-c wheel. I've never heard of them but apparently all the pics on google suggest those are them. Sad thing about that is all the pictures are dated back to 2005.

 

Try a company called SPEEDY
They made a spoon replica like this

 

Speedy race mode looks like a dr23 but with slimmer spokes at the ends. I've ordered 1 of each model already there different. Might just start looking for new wheels. I have a wheel guy that's goin to try and straighten my bent one tommarow. It's pretty trashed. If he can't do it time to start saving for something different.

 

for ***** and giggles put one on a scale w/o a tire and tell us what it says, still waiting for pics

well thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
phantasmusa.com showed to be a distributor but who know if they even have this wheel availble.

 

np

 

If your guy can't fix that then I can

 

what do you charge?
looking at the wheel is like its kinda twisted. this guy runs a business called alloy wheel repair. hes gonna give it a shot tomarrow morning while im at work.if he cant then id like to give you a shot at it.

 

Yea alloy wheel repair franchise guys can't really straighten wheels with more than one bend for anything to be honest. People bring wheels to me that alloy wheel couldn't straighten. He'll charge you $150 and give it back with 80 thou of lateral run out. They have no way to remove high spots. Their rig can only push out low spots. On wheels with one small bend it works "fairly" well because the high spots that are created when the wheel bends usually come out with the low spot, but when you get a severely bent wheel or a wheel with multiple bends the high spots never come out with the low spots. That's where having the right equipment and an appropriate amount of skill comes into play. Alloy wheel repair franchise guys make their money by doing used car recon work for dealerships which is mainly sanding and spraying curb rash. They can't really straighten any sizable bends. So my point in telling you this is after he says its "done" make him prove to you that it has less than 30 thou of lateral run-out on both bead seats. If it doesn't then he's bullshitting you with what ever excuse he comes up with. I really dislike the alloy wheel guys because they give people like me that actually straighten and tru wheels a bad name.

Edit: If you want to talk pricing, pm or email me. I don't want to ruffle any of the mods feathers.
