neilp9876 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I've been looking for some new wheels for the supe. I know 19" aren't the best for handling but I have a spare set of 17s for trackdays if I do another one. So for normal day to day use I like the look of the rota gtlm (19 is the only size available I believe). After a search there are quite a few people who had these back in 08 so I was wondering what people thought of them, do they last well etc? If they're good where is the best place to get them from (ie cheapest) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I used to have the GTLM's. DarronQ has them now on his red supe. They're a very pretty wheel, but they suffered with laquer peel on the lips around the split rim bolts so I changed them under warranty. I hardly used the car too, it was cleaned more than it was driven, but they still rotted. I changed them for some Linea Corse Dynas from the states, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the price of a refurb in something decent make them miles cheaper still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajinder Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Wanted to buy a set of these. Rang Driftworks and they are out of stock and they don't know when they will get the next lot. According to them they are in great demand. Lovely rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to them they are in great demand. Lovely rims. Mmmm, did a bit more googling today band the gtlm doesn't look like it's available anymore. Might have to look at the torque drifts or save my money for next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Or buy the real thing I had a few sets offered to me on here recently, but all 18". 19" genuine BBS LMs will cost a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 yeah i'm sure i looked into these a few months ago and was under the impression they wern't available anymore, may be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Julian at rarerims told me that they've had too many problems with them, so have discontinued production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Still ok on mine, but good point made! Seems to be pot luck some people never have a problem some people do. Its the same with the Works Vortex R's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
