Thinking of Purchasing a Fender Roller from Tirerack

I hear that Tirerack has an 8 month lead time on the fender roller rental program.

I was thinking of getting an Haweka Fender roller but it costs 1333.50 USD, plus shipping ordered from Germany and it takes about 8-10 weeks to get from Haweka North America (German Company).

Haweka NA

I was thinking of buying one from Haweka, but that's just way too much to spend on a fender roller that I may only use a few times for my cars, and the cars I may get. Tirerack is selling a fender roller for $495 plus shipping, but I'm not sure what it looks like, what brand it is, or whats included. Does anyone know?

I am attaching a picture of the genuine Haweka Fender Roller.
(too big I guess)

Does anyone have pictures of the one that tirerack sells? The exact one?

I've seen Subman's site using the tirerack rental roller, is it the same one?

Fender Rolling fun with Subman

Im the kind of person that doesnt like to share or borrow tools. I bought mine for $250 from eastbay restoration company. Ive used it about 5 x so far.

If I knew about making it, I would have made it, but I already had it. Cool.
