    Post Rotiform Replica Rims

    Hey all!

    I am currently the proud owner of a 2011 Candy White Golf 77TSI, however, as a P plater the standard 15's are less than desirable.
    I am on the hunt for some Rotiform BLQ rims, however, as a student I don't have the coin to go genuine, and would rather spend the extra cash on wrapping some replica's in some good rubber.

    Does anyone know of anywhere in Australia, or, preferably, Vic, that sells Rotiform reps?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    if you want to save money on wheels such as rotiform, dont buy in AUS for a start.
    Having a budget is also no excuse to buying reps. Look for some second hand BBS, Merc or Audi wheels, quality will be much better and can be had for cheaper then reps

    Hey Dylan,

    Thats a good point, however none of the standard Audi/Merc wheels are the correct width that i'm going for (8.5").
    I don't mind running reps as it's just for summer and when winter comes back around the standard wheels can pop back on.

    Also wanting to buy in Aus, and mainly Melb, so that I can test fit and so that the shipping times and costs aren't excessive.

    Thanks

    Plenty of 8.5" wide options.

    Shipping usually takes 1-2weeks from the US, and the cost of shipping is normally less then that of what Aussie sellers put on top of the price.
    Test fitting is an issue but should be enough info out there to work out what does and doesn't work.

    Because the standard wheels have better tires on them than I will be able to afford for the new wheels.. Don't really feel like aquaplaning everywhere..

    Thanks for the info Dylan, didnt think it'd be that quick from the US.
    Will start expanding my search.
    Do you know of any reputable sites for Rotiforms or something similar? Also liking the look of the Rotiform Nue's.

    Cheers
