Rota Wheels

[ashibah83]

so, usless thread i know, but for all those of you who bash Rota wheels for being knockoff's and junk, i found this funny

http://www.amsperformance.com/ams_dragevo.php

look under the suspension/wheels/tires area

i just thought it was funny that AMS performance uses Rota wheels on their drag Evo, out of hundreds of other options and "Better" wheel choices out there, they chose Rota wheels for their 1100whp track car, a car that reaches 170mph, and dont give me any of that crap that the wheels dont matter because they are only going in a straight line, the fact is that they were chosen above others, yes knockoff's....

[numbnuts240]

they're designs might not be original, but rotas are nowhere near as bad as people make them out to be.

I think people think they are bad because they see pics of broken rotas, not realizing that most of those wheels were probably powder-coated by dumb idiots. NEVER powder coat wheels!

look, a broken lotus wheel



don't buy a lotus, your wheels will break

haha this thread made my day. because i have rotas!

since this thread is about wheels did you know that if you own a buggati veyron you have to change the tires every 10,000 miles and the wheels every 30,000. for a new tire/rim setup it costs 72,000! i found that interesting

[Jadesr20det]

I like my p45r's and the subie guys love rotas.....now only if theyd come out w/a knockoff of my fav wheels of all time the vs-xx's id be set

[silviaziz]

I have bronze off-road rota wheels and they hold up very well. My car just slid into a ditch at about 80mph, had to be pulled out by the rim, and the wheels are still in great shape. I think that says something for their quality.

[simmode1]

+1 to all of the above.

[spooled240]

i heard some people saying the p45r's aka nismo LMGT4 knockoffs crack but many many many subies, evo's, 240's run them now without any problems.

I wouldn't mind getting myself a set of bronze p45r's

[i240sx]

people hate them cause they see a lot of them on honda..thinking it cheap shiiit

[spooled240]

yeah but there is nothing "honda" about low offset 17's and 18's

The thing I like about the rotas is the fact that you can get pretty low offsets on some of their wheels. The USDM nismo LMGT4's only come in a +30 or +35 offset and they are about 800-1000 for a set. The JDM ones have much lower offset but we all know the story with getting wheels from japan, expensive and time consuming. The p45r's are made in a +12 offset which is the lowest i've seen and they are about 6-800 a set brand new.

I usually prefer the Hyper Black color, but a red car like yours would look great with the Royal Sports Bronze's or the Royal Gold.

Everyone sack rides the P45R's, but lets not forget that Grids are now available in 18x10...

^ mmmmmmmmm.................

[spooled240]

the p45r's are getting a little popular....

correction: I will get the 18x10 grids in bronze lol

[SleepyHB]

Grid and P45R are the only ones I like out of all the ROTA, I used to own a set of 18x9.5 of P45R myself and I liked 'em, if you ever go to the Evo's forums you will see a lot of those guys run P45R.

[ashibah83]

i like my D2's, i mean there no Works, but for $600 you cant knock them

couldnt agree more. whats the offset on those grids on the impreza. i'd much rather have 8 x 10 grid with a good offset than my p45r's.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I'm taking a shot in the dark but I'm assuming 18x10? ......................

[FolkertSX]

^dumbs*** i asked for the offset. nice try though

i usually dont hate on the forums but when someone takes a shot at me i take one back

[AZ89two4Tsx]

It's K.

I can take all the beating you want to hand me! I'm learned'd crew.

They are +35 and they are 5x114.3 only. Perfect for 240 fitment in the back only, I'd say. Not even Wheeldude.com has the 18x10's, but he has the 18x9.5+20. Here's the only place that I know they are sold: http://www.machiii.net/wheels/grid.html

I'm planning to get some for my s13 and run this setup in hyper black:17x9+25 P45R upfront 245/4018x10+35 Grid out back 255/35

I think that would be sick...

18x10 +35 in the back? Are you talking about an S14 here, cause I can not see this happening on a S13.

[S14toRPS13]

I like how everyone's on Rota's nuts now that AMS is rocking them.

pretty soon they'll be the new OMG!! JDM TyTe yo!!

peaple, rock what you like. hell if ams/greddy/apexi, hell any known company started turning to accords and painting them pink, i'd bet id see a rise in accord prices.its like in high school when youd go a buy some $200 shoe becouse a basketball player and the cool kid had em. its gettin rediculous

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

I've seen enough drifting on Rotas out here in Sac none have ever broken and I would imagine that would be putting alot of stress on them. I've noticed alot of the pics I've seen of the rotas are generally on honda and acuras.Also it was the same rim, so possilbe 1 rim produced had some defects?!?

I've never had a problem with Rota. And plus, I picked up a Modified Magazine today with the 'Tuner Shootout' article... The winner was the GST Impreza L rocking Gold P45R's and Wheeldude.com stickers...

Oh ye of little knowledge... the 18x10+35 should be about 9mm more flush than this:

[Ramonesfreak2010]

NEVER powder coat wheels!

Noob question: May I ask why?

[Chris28]

I drift on Rotas. I also go offroading a lot because I like spinning out. My wheels are fine.

I like those 18x10 grids though.
