Rota's

Hi all, probably a bit controversial but got jays old rota's on the lude and looks suprisingly good in my opinion,

they look sweet mate, a lot better than the wolfraces

they look fine mate and more importantly they safer then the steelys

Safer than steels?

tbf the steelies were half the width of the rotas an i had no grip

Hater tech started the rota slating lets not start it on here however good or bad they are as long as you like em who cares(i do btw).

I ment is steels being stronger, Rota's got a bad name cause they used to be know for cracking/splitting ect i.e not safe

IMO having a set of rota's is like having a pair of hi-tec trainers.

i'm 2nding jays comment

isnt the damage to the rotas due the general wear and tear like all wheels.

ned i meant that the rotas would be safer as they are of a more suitable size for duanes big lude especially this time of the year where the roads suck ass.

As for them cracking i havent seen the forum on rotas but everyone local thats using them dont seem to have had any problems yet.

from what i remember the problem occurs when powder coating the wheels as the metal they use slightly weakens when coated, meaning they are more vulnerable,

but also on honda-tech is a thread on theels cracking, etc, and there are more enkei's, volks etc that have broken/caused accidents than rota's on the thread

all true.

they look good on there, drop it more tho

the main reason volks ect crack is the age of the wheels, most these sick rims you see are aover 15 or so years old, add that to having very stiff suspension set up and low profile tyres then they are more likly to go.

But you cannot ever say a set of rota's are cool, its like wearing a fake watch or HIKE socks, just not right IMO and I will not have my mind changed.

Fair point ned (although i do own some HIKE socks, those shits are cheap and warm), as far as im concerned if your buying rota's with the intension of faking the funk thats wrong, but on the other hand if you cant afford some rare "JDM" wheels or its your beater and your not trying to pass them off as mugens or spoons then fair play. Like polished slipstreams, blatently not spoons but they still look the shit, not for trying to copy another wheel but in there own right.

just thought, white slips would look hot, but dangerously close to looking like rega's

Link don't work




I'd rather walk than rock rota's... thats all im saying now.

being in the position im currently in id confidently say youd change your mind if it actually came down to it.

ok ok


I'd rahter rock steels than rota's

id rock wide steelies all day

wide steelies are the win!!!!

gettin some done for the aerodeck, project thread soon to come

wide steels ftw.

N gotta say i like the rotas mate

are there any jap cars(pref EG's lol) with wide steelies on i cant find any!

they are standard wheels banded, baiscly mean they cut the wheel and weld an extra band in to make it wider. Illegal though

yeah i know the way they do it but i meant as in are there any pics of the widended steelies on jap cars, im thinking about doing it
