I was looking around for a good set of Rota rims with tires for under $1000. I had found this website that seemingly has a sale of Rota Circuit 8's with what looks like Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires for $800. Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Well not really. I emailed them asking for more information, but they let me know that you do not get Ecsta 712's, you get the 711's. Obviously this started setting off alarms in my head, something is not right when a company advertises one thing, and then tries to sell you something else.

So I began my usual research, the address they list for sending payments too is 1222 Taft Street Irvine CA 92620. I downloaded the City of Irvine business license list, and learned that this company does not have a license from Irvine CA. Then I searched Riverside County's list, where they were not either. The website of Juggernaut Wheels lists Riverside county as the legal jurisdiction for the company. Also the Better Business Bureau does not list this company in any of the names it lists.

Does anyone here have information on this company?

Or better yet does anyone have any other place in southern california which I can get a great deal on Rota Wheels with tires?

I have searched for Swift Co. nothing found. I need to know more about this company. Right now it has little/no trust from me.

Thanks dude. I would greatly appreciate that. I am really wanting to put some new wheels on my car, but I need to make sure I make good use of my money.

Any other possible placed to get the package from? ILP Performance looks good, but shipping would be a *****.

Im sure theres a discount tire or something like it in CA. They can order most any kind of rim you want at a good price. And remember they can negotiate a price with you.

Alright well for $772 at Discount Tire Direct I can get the Konig Passport with Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires 15". I am not really wanting anything bigger than 16" but I think I'd prefer 15". What I'd really like is Rota Circuit 8 15", in Flat Black, with nice tires.

Did anyone ever find a local company that sells Rota? I realized that my new tire choice might be better with a 6.5 or 7 rim width, and Rota makes some nice and light 15s for it.

Nevermind, I found out the America's Tire, Discount Tire, and Big Brand Tire all carry Rota brand. Looks like I'm putting Rota Subzero or Slipstream 15x6.5 rims on so that I can put a 225/50/15 racing tire on it!
