Rotas In Canada? - Toyota Yaris Forums

SKurj · 05-04-2011, 06:37 PM

Can anyone point me to a decent shop which carries Rota in Canada? Prefer something which at least has an online showroom, but if its in the toronto area I can visit.

Open to suggestions south of the border too, specially with the current strength of the canuckian dollar..

What model are you looking for? Size? Color?

You can try Image in Motion in Maple Ridge BC (ask for Peter). They don't have Rota's listed on their website any longer but can get them in. If you do a google search for Rota with Image in Motion you can get an old link for them.

I got a great price for my RBs and picked them up locally. You'd have to ask him about shipping.

just order from the US

save tax and you win on exchange

you can try tires23 in mississagua. ask for billy. he helped me the last time i bought wheels. good guy

SKurj · 05-06-2011, 05:00 PM

Went into Tires23 today, unfortunately they don't have stock in the colour I want. He said months to get what I want... I may just order them anyways.

Bitch of a time finding what I want anywhere in North America so far... The first place I find with them in stock I'm buying them.. well if I find a place before Monday.. at which time I may go back to Tires23 and place my order.

The car will be lowered next week, but I still have a bit of rubber left on the oems i can shed before i throw them away. Big enough purchase for the new wheels that I'd rather wait and get what I want.

SKurj, here's what I do when the CAD $ is strong. I order my stuff from the US then pick them up across the border myself: http://www.cbiusa.com/

I bought my Eibach prokits this way and saved a bundle (over $120) since items are much cheaper and shipping US-to-US address are mostly free. Also the items arrive much quicker as they don't go through customs.

Been doing this for years and only cost $5.95 USD per package + gas, plus I get to eat some awesome Buffalo wings over at Anchor Bar

p.s. I've been seriously considering getting a set of 15" Rota RBs, i hate the ride on my current 17" and my crappy fuel economy since I put them on again last week.

SKurj · 05-06-2011, 06:03 PM

Yeah, I used to be into modding the bike and bought lots across the border. One of the guys I ride with does the US address thing too. I've never bothered, so long as the seller agrees to ship USPS i have never had a problem.

Bought my last bike in the US and saved over $2000 and at that time the dollar was below par! Its an even better time for cross border shopping now +)

Right now it looks like I mebbe waiting for the next boat from the philipines for my Rotas.

Most likely no website but try calling Cheap Thrills in Milton. No guarantee but worth a shot.

+1 for CBI, used them a few times in the past 6-9 months and not a single issue.

SKurj · 05-09-2011, 07:00 PM

In the end I went with Kosei K1 TS in 17x7 ET 42 with Yoko S Drives from Tirerack

Nice and light for the price. Should be here next week.
