Josheyboy's MX-5 mk 2.5!

josheyboy

As you have probably guessed a lot of folk on here are not Fans of ROTA's why:

Personal taste
Copies of genuine rims
Cheap build quality

the list is endless

I dont wanna shock you here but you can pick up Real big brand genuine rims cheaper then new/used Rota's if you know where to look, yes you can afford them..... plus no ones here to argue.

I paid £180 for a set of Schmidt Modern lines. (Easy 450/£500 set)

I was gunna buy a set of PIAA nakajima racing 3 piece split rims for £200 (no tyres) (over £1000 worth of mega/ ultra rare rims) but the guy wanted a full GTI interior for them instead (long story)

And plenty of other chaps on here will have similar stories of how cheap they got there genuine rims..

See were here to help... If you had posted up lads im after some sick deep dish genuine JDM rims budget is XXXX you would be rolling on Genuine JDM goodness right now...

BTW ROTA are not actually JDM (Japanese domestic market) as they HQ from the Philippines

Also there is only one member on here that loves Rotas almost as much as this guy



enough said mate its your car, your choice...

Once lowered it will look good, such a soft spot for mx5s!
As for the rota bashing just take it on the chin mate, it's only teh interwebz nobody on here would be arsey in real life to your face about your rims! I personally have nothing against ROTAS I rocked them for time but personally I prefer slightly more old school looking rims on mx5s!

if you dont like them just keep that oppinion to yourself

thanks

If you have no decent parts to post pictures of then don't post them

thanks.

Honestly, what else do you want me to put? you want honest feedback about you're car or do you want us to lie and say "oh well done chap, your wheels really suit an mx5"? The price you paid for them you could have honestly brought some nicer rims. Mine cost me 250 quid with postage. Im not even kidding.

*Sigh* is it just me or are we going to let TOA turn into the "civiclife" for any make of car?

LOL I told ya

I got turned down by a chap when I was selling my ssr type-x's for £200, then the next day he brought brand new rota auto-x's! For like £400!

Anyway dude I've had a set of rota's in the past, this is an ongoing thing/argument on here (which I'm on the against side btw) but you won't be set on fire for having a set, a few members have them.

Post up some pics with the coils an slam it, watch people's opinions change lol

I know i know its just iv never seen this much hate against a set of wheels on any other forum before! Just annoyed me thats all, i dont expect everyone to like them but i dont expect everyone to hate them eather!
Its the same as women with ther designer clothes your paying for the brand

Ahwell its getting slammed 2nite!

you could rock up with a set of TSW's or BK racings and get the same response tbh.

paint them pink then we can realy give ya some stick...lol

the fact remains, they are replica wheels. its not YOUR particular set that is "this much hate". the "hate" as you call it, is generated by the owners of rota's thinking they are shit hot, or that they are 10 times cheaper than the real deal. its the principle of it.

if you shop around you can get the real set for a good price, not to mention second hand. theres no excuse.

and its not necessarily the 'brand' name wheels that are considered sick. if they are a brand name, but look like ass, they are......ass :-/

enkei, bbs, all the top names, they do make some ASS looking wheels.

there's rocking replica wheels, then followed closely behind that is rocking some genuine, but shit design wheels, just for the name.

whatever, this debate will go on and on if we let it

dont let it give you the wrong idea about TOA, we have certain views, and values that we stand by. As for the MX5 dude, its looking good, and looking forward to seeing the slammage.

shes been dropped!





needs some 20-25mm spacers then she will be sitting perfect id say!
would have gone lower on the back but the coller bolts on the coilvers are so close to the drive shafts it would catch,

comments please guys ( please dont diss the rotas )

Looks better, i can imagine it looks better in person, i.e. looking down on it making it seem even lower.

take a pic of the shaft clearance issue, im sure theres a way round it

trust me when you open the door and see the floor it feels like your sitting on the floor lol
im sure theres ways around it but i only had like 20 mins left of sunlight before i had to have the car back together lol

il be coming to the next flood street meet so can see her then

sweet, yeah man il have a look

that guy from scotland had a dark green one that was slammed so should be able to with no issue's if he did.

theres was an mx tuckin at the last meet...speak to that guy...



i like the whole look

yeah that thing was dumped

i spoke to someone on the mx5nutz forum, its down to the suspention type, if i went for a more expencive one it would clear, i know i saw it, my mate knows him and he said he has had alot of work to get it that low and it sparks sometimes lol

looking good dude, spacers would make it look a whole lot better.

some inspiration

98 MX5 - How Mexxy from Mike Riding on Vimeo.

it WILL be done... that looks meannn! next up is the custom made jap angled exhaust though then spacers

Looks nice, liking it

You can deffo get them lower though

this is what its all about

they 15s or 16s? mine are 16s and the sill is 3iches from the floor lol
