But type As are just so blocky and good looking on cars that are blocky themselves. They certainly dont look like a lot of other wheels out there. Been done? Sure. But i like em on the right cars

I think wheels on cars depend on the tire size. For 21 inches tire its best to use American Racing wheels or Enkie. For lower tire sizes BBR works and looks well. But more than choosing on tire it’s better to choose on the type of cars like shiny wheels do well on muscles.

Thought I should chime in and give my perspective on this subject


We do things a little differently at Rotiform. We have a ton of cool shit coming out in the next year and things we are working on for the future beyond that. I'd like to personally thank the Stanceworks community for helping make Rotiform what we are today. We could not have done it without your support. Thanks!

Just to clarify, I was defending you guys. Someone was saying your wheels were overpriced, and I was pointing out the fact that there are numerous reasons why you guys ask what you do for your products.

The comment I made about 'passion being the bottom line' wasn't directed at you, rather, directed at industry in general.

Keep up the good work Jason

I can't wait to see the cool shit is it 2011 yet?

We do everything. From wheel design, to packing and shipping, to website, to photography, to marketing, to accounting, to cleaning the bathroom, to traveling to shows, to sourcing new manufacturers, to ordering materials and products, to building shop cars. We would rather concentrate on the things that make Rotiform special rather than lower our powdercoating bill in 2 years.

ditto plus some...we wear alot of hats.

Think of it this way... What if you had to go kill the cow for your steaks, grow the spinach for your salads, grind the flour for your breads and harvest the sugar for your deserts? Sounds tough right? Even if you could manage it you would certainly have to charge more for it. There are only a few wheel companies that do EVERYTHING in house and even the ones that do everything still outsource. Running a business is an excersize in scale - the bigger you are, the more you need to feed the beast. It is a balancing act that is really really tough for non business owners to understand.

there it is.
