Rota Svn's = Volk Re30.....Sam you can go to discount tire to get it fixed.They dont fix it there but ship it out to someone that does.

The Rotas are nice in 18s but you have to get the same offset and width front and back. They do not offer anything wider than 9.5". I think the +15 would work well. Maybe a +12 for the rear. Thats the route I would take but have the rears widened to 11" to fit a 325 back there.
Call this number and get a quote. They are a rolling wheel repair shop
1.956.831.2501
The axis are nice. Both are very common.
BTW Alex might be selling his 20" TSW Thruxtons. Give him a call if interested.

By the way, I noticed this on my car the other day. Alex has the same issue with his. Damn bushings aren't worth a crap. If you guys haven't looked underneath your car lately, you might want to check out the lower control arm. I ordered the set of bushings for the front since the other one also goes bad prematurely. I was gonna take it to a shop to have the bushings removed and pressed but this gave me a good excuse to buy a new piece of equipment for DNAs garage.
Pic of bad bushing:
Old vs New:
Pressing the old one out:
New toy:
All I need now is to find a 1.5" ID Pipe to press the new bushings in and done put everything back.
Hey sam sorry to hear what happened. The guy that fixed my wheels can give you a good deal.
Md wheels 956-970-1010 his name is marcus
he takes like 3 to 5 days to fix it but its better than buying new rims.

watup guys im back in town.
well quick follow up on my car, it stayed in Houston
to fix a few snags like the cam sensor, wheel speed sensors and wheel bearings that where messed up, but its in good hands JTRAN was awesome and really gave me his attention while there he picked up some up these things that i hadn't and i decided to leave to give the time necessary ....we were able to base tune the car which i didn't even get torque numbers but it hit 400 rwhp and like 380 torque, on like 14 psi and not to aggressive timing (NO METH) so theres still more to come i got videos and runs .....
I also bought a brand new carbon fiber vented hood matte black
heres a couple of pics

Like the hood Alex. Hopefully JTran gets your car going soon cause Ima have a little surprise for you come next "import invasion". I hope you can hit an 11.??? cause thats where I'll be.
We can't do the money thing or the car wash cause its been done so what can we put on the line................Any ideas guys?
Sam, I know you're saving for that ticket to the darkside but my opinion is to fix your wheel and keep saving. New wheels would be awesome though
I'm stuck in the same boat as you man I got a few grand stashed away and could think of many things to buy but I'm holding out cause 420rwt isn't enough
Need that built block!
If it wasn't for Alex being kind enough to lend me his wheels all this time, I would have bought wheels by now. Thanks BLDG. Hopefully that is the only one that is messed up. Have you check the others?
