Default I am writing aftermarket wheel co.'s to see if they will run a set for STRs

I saw this happen with success in a Pontiac GTO forums I used to visit, Rota wheels made three sets for three buyers there as a sort of small "group buy" (Rota otherwise has no applications for GTOs, they mostly make wheels for Japanese cars). I have written Miro wheels today (they make some VERY affordable attractive wheels) to see if we can do the same. They emailed me back to ask some questions, lets see where it goes. If not them, I will try someone else. I refuse to have as my only choice for cool looking wheels be $$$$$ custom forged aluminum wheels. I love the look (and even more so, the price!) of Miro wheels so I will begin with them.

Rotiform will custom make wheels for Jag in whatever bolt pattern and backspacking needed. Some are cheap $300ish/wheel to the ones I want at $1600/wheel.

Rotiform makes custom forged aluminum wheels that are as expensive as HREs, which is what I'm trying to find us an alternative for. I saw they make three different types of affordable cast wheels, but they do not look like they are made to order as they specify bolt patterns not suitable for our cars. Plus their cast wheels look more for the Honda/VW crowd. But yea, the rest of their wheels are mega dollar custom forged aluminum wheels, which there is no shortage of (i.e., HRE, COR, Iforged, Forgeline, Kinesis, 360, CCW, etc., etc., etc.)

Thanks for inquiring...Probably pretty doubtful I'd be interested but I'm willing to take a look...

It is only an additional $20/wheel for our bolt pattern

Sounds interesting. I have 2 of my OEM's slightly bent and wouldn't mind going with something else all together in the future. Keep us in the loop - thanks for taking some initiative!!

chris why dont you just get them repaired? we repair wheels all the time that are bent, even cracked. So long as the center is not bent and just the rim/barrel
