Rotiform STL

[cossie]

Anyone running these?

Been my local wheel place and they had them on display.

They were doing good deals on team dynamics and momo but I like the look of the rotiforms as the OZ rally raids are on back order.

Wonder what other Rotiform 18in load rated wheels there is to choose from? @BognorMotors @The Van Cave @CRS Performance can you help?

Up until recently they didn’t do them in a Transporter fitment. THQ did a video on a van build and talked about them. I believe they were/are going to be available in a 5x120.

I Really like these too and have been watching until they become available in 5 x120 fit etc.

They can now be bought for transporters and I know that Wheelbase alloys stock the 17” already. I’m a tad concerned that the offset is listed as 0, so something to clear up before you take the plunge.

I wonder if they haven’t input the offset for the 17s on their website - showing as ET30 on the 18s and 20s. The CB is all over the place too - will need spigots anyway.

Its appeared this time. Shame they are not doing a 19” version.

 

[t6blo]

Yes, 19s would be good.

I‘m possibly getting itchy feet about my Canteras now - although I was dead set on silver 19s, I’m considering black 20s of some sort and these look great.

I agree, I too am set on silver 19s to replace the Canteras but been looking so long I’m now considering wheels in 18 or 20 in black that I could powder coat in silver if I really can’t get on with black.

I have always thought silver wheels show off the spokes/design etc better than black and have always had silver wheels (apart from a couple of sets of diamond cut which came on my old Golf GTD and Mini JCW). The Canteras looked great on my old reflex silver van, but all the black vans I see online and out and about have black wheels and I can’t help thinking silver was a mistake

Well I for 1 prefer silver on black.

Here is a merged thread for all those running Rotiform STL Alloys.
Crack on Folks!

 

[t6blo]

Can you move all the STL posts from the Banded steelies thread please @BuilderJay

(any of us could have created a new thread but it was the posts we wanted moving as they were bunging up the banded steelies thread)

 

[BuilderJay]

On it

Not sure if this is anything to do with STL alloys and guy posting a wanted post for a different model?

 

[Stu007]

For those interested I did ping another email to THQ asking the difference in the already available 18/20” black STL alloys to the silver version they are developing with Rotiform.. I await Mikeys reply

Got a reply off Mikey from THQ regarding the STLs


"Hello Stuart,

The offset of these wheels is too aggressive for a transporter. You will find the front will pike out of the wheel arch. We used a set of this on wheel pros van and had the centre’s machined down to make them fit. However still needed more work."

I ran a 10x20 et42 on the front with 255/35 tyre and it aired out no issues.....also had zero rubbing. I can't see why these would not fit with a 245/35 tyre
