If you really REALLY can't get a hold of them then try Cosmic Marketing in Hayward. Apparently they are America's "exclusive Rota distributor"

you can't buy from Cosmic, that's who we buy from

Cosmic is Rota USA, they don't sell to the public.

That's an interesting question. My guess is that as the economy slumped down demand for "real" wheels declined, and as people started to buy more alternative brands the retailers responded by upping the prices.

that's what people always assuming but that's not true

We don't make any more money than we did back when they were $600, rising fuel costs, increased overhead, and higher shipping costs is what caused price increases over the years

That's what I was thinking. All those flashlights can't be cheap either.

Let me know if you are interested in a phone system. I work for Avaya as a Software Specialist and can help you out. I also got a busy line a few times when calling you last week for my wheels. Still love the wheels by the way.
