ROTIFORM- This shouldn't be happening...

[Nicolaus Pro]

I mounted these on my car on Saturday the 13th.(after waiting 4 months for 2 barrels) I was driving home from the TST meet today on a residential road. I heard like a metal hitting something sound and saw I had a flat tire. I pulled over, got it in the air and found this piece of barrel in my tire. I drove MAYBE 200 miles in this past week and half and didn't hit anything crazy big. I don't have crazy camber or stretch. This shouldn't be happening with brand new barrels..... When I ordered them I asked specifically "What happens if the crack", to which the rotiform employee said "They wont" ........






And the car. I'm running a 205/45 in the back, 45 to prevent shit like this

you sure you didnt hit anything big?

Is your car on air?

[Nicolaus Pro]

I can guarantee you I hit nothing big. I only drove on roads I knew in the past week, nothing big anywhere. I'm static. I can't drive fast/hit shit either, my car will get destroyed

Not to defend Rotiform, but I'm almost positive they don't make barrels in house. It's all sourced from a lip/barrel roller (same places that most wheel companies use). Not many people do that kind of work, and places like Rotiform, Memoryfab, HRE, etc etc source their lips from these places. They do vary in degrees of quality, however. I have never ran on a remanufactured barrel before though, only OE BBS stuff. I've used remanufactured lips for the past few years and had no problems though.

Regardless of who makes the part, Rotiform chooses to sell their product under their name.



Where did you get your barrels? I just wanna drive my car

Have you contacted Rotiform since?

Agreed 100%, just wanted to clear that up though because while you're unhappy with Rotiform, they're unhappy with whoever sourced the barrel (I would assume!)

I get my lips (usually) from this place, and they have barrels too. Here's what they have in 16". Granted they are in Germany and shipping takes a couple weeks (at least, depends on customs) but I've been happy with everything thus far.
