Oh you mean the c8 that was tracked a couple of seasons and then purchased by another HT member to track again?

Gotta get that piece of mind! You "posi-Rotas" (as opposed to us 'anti-Rotas') need to get off the subject just as much as we do. Rotas are schwag and Volks etc are Kush...they're both weed, but ones better than the other as for the pic...
[edit] I got beat!! ^^

Re: (Daishi)
Lets stop this post... Here are the answers to the Rota hating post and comments ????
Yes these wheel were tracked for two season
No that is not the reason they broke
The wheels where powder coated, which made the material of the wheels weaker. This is the reason the wheel broke. We tested a set of slip streams on Nov. that were also powder coated and we broke those wheels TOO..... Not as radically as the C8 but it did crack one of the fins and half. This was just from driving at speed around a track, no off road excursions or berm crashing.
Rota replaced our broken wheels and told us not to powder coat them again. They believe that the heating process made the wheel material weaker. So the moral of this story is DO NOT POWDER COAT YOUR WHEELS

So can I get a big bag of Rotas and cook them in some butter?
They would make some "special" brownies

Can any one else back this up? Is it true of all cast wheels? I was going to get a set of slips powdercoated, but I've never heard of this problem until now.
