Default what kind of rota wheels are these????

I recently purchased a car that came with these wheels:



Im pretty sure they are Rotas. I thought they were rota torques but they are too angular and the bolt pattern is different than what they show on their website.

are they old torques?

anybody know?

thanks.

anybody know what these things are worth? i really want to get rid of them on account of them being not so attractive in my opinion.

they dont seem to sell them anymore.

i would imagine they were about 400 per set brand new.

What tires and what condition are they in?

I'd say atleast $400 if the tires are worthy.

toyos proxes 4 tires all around. the rear tires are new on account of the mad turbos tearin them up.

seriously though, the rear tires are new and the front tires have maybe 5-10k miles on them.

personally i think these tires suck in a rear wheel drive car. i think the offset of the wheel needs to be a little more negative and the tires a little stickier.

when i go around big sweeping bends, im scared for my life since it feels like the back end is going to kick out on me. at this point i dont know if its the tires fault or maybe the suspension is too stiff. i dont know for sure, but i suspect the tires just arnt sticky enough for high speed stability big curve where the car has taken a set and is turning at a consistent radius.

on tight turns, the dont even squeal at all and are very predictable.

and these tires kick *** in the rain. but the experience is certainly not the same that i am used to in my civic with azenis tires.

...or maybe i just suck at rwd.

maybe you should just ignore everything i said until i figure out WHY the car isnt handling the way i want it to. lol.

sarcasm.

when i had falkens on my civic i was terrified to drive in the rain because they made braking useless.

with the toyos i have on this car, i can at least drive in the rain safely even if they arnt the best for handling.
