Testing waters: Rota Subzeros Eagle F1s 5x100

Rota Subzeros in gunmetal.

17X7.5

bolt: 5x100

offset 48+

tires: Eagle F1s 225/45/17 they have about 4,000 mi on them, plenty of tread left. very even wear.

$500 sound reasonable? or possibly a trade



here's the deal. i actually bought a set of 3 second-hand subzeros a year ago (bought a 4th brand new online). unfortunately they were an early production set (the problematic subzero year). apparently rota recalled the rims and replaced them...the previous owner did not do so. i was unaware of the recall at the time of purchase. supposedly the strength/integrity of the recent production of subzeros have highly improved. recently 2 rims have suffered broken spokes. i had bought 2 brand new rims for the car already. the new wheels have only seen about 500 mi of road, literally. i have contacted rota about my broken wheels. they are willing to replace them for free.

after all that trouble... now i just don't want this look on my car anymore haha.

i'll quit babbling... basically this is a relatively brand new set of subzeros (3 of which were produced last year, the new ones) except for 1 single rim. the tires were bought new. i think $500 sounds pretty damn reasonable. if anyone thinks that the number is too low or too high, let me know.

Where are you located? Can I get some pictures? and are you willing to trade for some U.K's?

Hey. I was wondering if you could point me out to the website or a number or something. I just bought used Rota SubZero's and one of the wheels is cracked. Maybe I might be covered under the recall.
