Honest opinions on Rota Wheels.
-
Hahahaha, I'm one of the few running ones around here so I'm not as retarded as the rest of them.
I think everyone back up there got spoiled by Eric's 240. Examples like that are a true rarity since most of them are complete piles. Since I've been home, I've only seen two that are on the level his was.

also some owners ditch the bbs for a much more aggressive stance by getting very wide wheels. Rota makes wheels for subarus that are 8.5 to 9 plus inches wide. If you go on Nasioc you can see that over half of all owners on there are running rotas. You will also see that no one is having any problems with them either. Rota is a very good wheel maker. Not everyone can afford forged wheels nor do they need forged wheels.

My honest oppinion about rota? i like them. i had like..3 different sets on my old coupe, and only got compliments about them. now would i buy a set for the evo?? probably not. but only because i in the market for a 17x9.5 or 10 and ridiculous off set.
otherwise i probably would. but every body is to their own.

Every wheel has a break/bend point. Just like anything else metal. If you plan to track your car, and really push the car's limits, I would recommend a better wheel than a Rota. Even the best wheels fail under extreme abuse. This is NOT from an accident.

Here is a thread on NASIOC that shows some pretty cool Rota fitments that were mentioned previously in this thread by Rexwagon.

i was exagerating when i said ridiculous, i think i need something like a +12 with a 17x9.5. but im not 100% on that so i could be way off...

rota's are good for 90% of ppl out there, because most ppl never really pushes there cars. so why do they need $2k set of wheels to go be BA at the cruises? they don't so thats where the cheap wheels come into play.
now this pool has 2 bad choices.
-
there not exactly weak but then again there not forged volks, so you decide if there stregth or lack there of, is enough to take what you will put them though..
-
no there not as durable as "everything else" out there, thats why there super cheap.
so this poll sucks the big one....

Unless your name is Steve Schulz.You rang? I like your plan of rotas and refreshing the volks. It's all in the hips, it's all in the hips... BTW what bolt pattern does that car have and what offset/s does it run? Just curious.

Same as Ford Mustang and Ranger, as well as Mitsubishi and Toyota.
