Just wondering, they seem to be pretty inexpensive, looking for some track wheels.

Thumbs down

Make sure you don't prepay for the product...they have screwed
many consumers by not delivering products, me included.

I'm local so I could try and pick my products up. I just wanted to get an opinion of if the wheels are any good, durable etc.

"NEIL" used to work for Roock and unfortunately the US distributor was
a bit of a CROOK... overall quality of original products were very high,
PM Neil on this board and see if he knows of which wheels you speak.

It is cool to have unique wheels but there are so many great alternatives
(from board sponsor wheel enhancement, where my Champions came from)

good luck,

Marty

Sorry but I don't have that answer. Fabian shipped me the wheels and they came in damaged. He told me to send them back which I did immediately and he would replace them.
He never replaced them and eventually about 9 months later he refunded me 1K out of the total purchase price of about $3200.00
I promised him I would do my best to prevent anyone from purchasing products if given the opportunity.

Best of luck, just be careful

Roock is still around? I'm talking about HQ (Roock Germany). Not Roock USA.

I thought they closed shop a long time ago?

Yup. Looks like it.

I think Speedline manufactures that wheel. I could be wrong.

Neil is correct - I ran into Roock a few months ago in Atlanta. And the wheels are not the same as Gemballa.

Yes they do have a website and all and a number that when I called got a voicemail for them. The wheels are very inexpensive, like 1300 for a set so that's why I questioned them.
