    Default Rota wheels..??

    Hi,

    Iv been looking at the rota wheels available at otomoto but i have heard some terrible stories and seen a few pics of the rims breaking...and i mean full spokes snapping off!

    Just wondering if they are a quality wheel or any particular bad models to look out for??

    cheers

    alot of people are going to throw all the rumours at you in this thread. josh young and sam in the red kaizen hachi's have been using them for ages and they have never had a problem. even after josh's studs snapped and had the wheel come off twice its still fine.

    sure there are def better wheels out there but they seem to be ok

    cool...i was aware they were using them and its good to know they hold up well with the flogging they get....

    Obviously the pics iv seen need to be in line with the circumstance....ie.may of hit a gutter a 60km etc...a lot of nay-sayers leave out info like that.

    those wheels in particular are used everywhere.... as said, josh, sam... also beau yates, and half a dozen cars in the states europe andireland for the highend drifting.

    im biased cos i got them but yeah u have no worries wit this model suffering failure...

    Kona kid... Your a retard... You have no idea what you are talking about.. Get a life you keyboard warrior wanker.. Yes they are cheaper, no they are not crap.. Sorry there not JDM enough for you.. When you put whatever jap wheels your running on your car and do as many events as josh and i have done (and touched them while drifting on each others and gutters) then come tell me about it..

    Retards like you should be banned from answering legitimit questions...

    Yep i believe this is true.. And so are alot of others...

    So true. They are a great wheel for drifting as they take hits and last and you don;t really care about them all that much.. I sold 4 14x7 Volk TE37's and bought 8 Grid Rotas 16x8 with only small amount of cash added... Good value in my book any day of the week.. That or i could still run the volks and rub them on gutters at the tracks...


    Intense:- I Beleive this was old school product and the motivational poster is crap.. Any cast Rim will do that if you hit a gutter at full noise.. Give me 30 mins on goolge and i could have the same pics of any rim..



    So far i'm the only person whos running them and have been doing for a year (34+ events) with no issues.. Josh even longer with not 1 issue...

    You can listen to the Forum warriors or listen to someone with experience.. ROTA = BEST VALUE FOR MONEY WITH MINIMUM RISK.
