Yeah, but will you think that when you want to take it to the track, and those crappy Rota D2's snap on him?

Not my first choice of what I would want to happen to my car.

Well actually, I dont take my car to the track. Its a daily driver I had a set of Rota's on my CRX for over 2 years with no problems... But thanks for the concern anyway

There are more pics of Rotas busting on HT than IO have seen any other wheel. They are inferior to any other wheel out there. Just 90% Mugen knockoffs anyways.

Wow, look at this. JLB motorsports has over 230 pages on HAPPY customers who bought Rotas. Thats really weird.

Ok. When you get out there and venture into other boards, and other forums, you will see the problems people have had with rotas. I busted a set of them myself doing 4 days of Auto-X, so dont give me that "I dont know what I am talking about" BS.

And I am not threadjacking. I am telling you MY PERSONAL and VIEWED experiences with Rota. Threadjacking would be something like this....

Damn. Would you hit it?



Knowing you, you probably would.

Im on CRSX as well, havent heard anything on there either. But like I said, I dont Auto-X, so what does that have to do with me? But I guess everyone else on here is wrong. Thanks for the information

nice find, but did you happen to read the whole thread? there was just as many people saying that they have seen spoon and other rims break as well. Ive seen people who have had Work wheels break alsol. But thanks for the info tho man.


edit : there was actually more to that thread on CRSX, http://forums.clubrsx.com/show...age=3, the acutally reason that they broke was because the guys tire blew and he hit the gaurd rail which then caused the wheel to break.

I like them a lot! If I could go back, I would have went without the pillow ball mounts, they are more suited for road racing/ auto-x which i dont do. I initially got them bc they give you some camber adjustment in the front. But for how low the car is now, it rides very well. How low are you dropped on your megans?
