So i sold my rims and now need a new pair. So i was lookin on ebay for rims and want to know how reliable it is to buy off them. Currently looking into a pair of rota grid from a trustworthy seller.

On a silver 02 em2

Don't want to buy them and have them turn out to be knockoff fake rims. Just want to know if anyone bought rims off ebay and were happy, thanks.

 

as long as the seller is legit, a rim is a rim when it comes to rota's(which are knock offs btw) the real rim is the Volk not the rota

 

ohh wow im dumb lol im not too into knowing rims that much. But i know that i can't afford volks cus theyre up in the thousands haha. in your opinion would the bronze be nicer on silver or black and red to be something different.

 

I think the black and red would be better. Bronze looks good only on blue IMO. And please no white.

 

ebay is a little overpriced. may i suggest ordering from jlbmotorsports. they are very reputable. search for them on HT or hit up DRFLICKNER. i believe they are the best deals for rota wheels

 

yeah black and red IMO is different and looks good. Bronze i would get like you said on blue and even black. White is alright but very tacky.
and mrtrinh thanks for the websites. I'll deff look at them

 

i wouldn't go through ebay for rims

 

bought rims on ebay for my dd, I like um no problems yet.

 

thinking about getting 17'' either rota boost or grid. would that be a good size to get... 17 by 7.5, 4x100, +45mm offset, 67.1mm bore? is that correct.

 

I almost guarentee JLB will have better pricing.. and reliability Id go with the konigs by the way.

 

im on jlb looking at konigs and rotas seeing which i like more

 

also i have a set of tires that were on my old wheels i sold which were 17x7. my tires are 205/40/R17. if i buy a pair of konig or rota that are 17x7.5 would they be able to fit ?

 

rotas have an outdated poor production process... they havnt updated their machinery. Konigs are the better choice..
and yeah Im pretty sure your tires will fit

 

konig and enkie make a good wheel. Rota has the look, but I have heard horror stories about their longevity

 

Ya bro I bought my FF7's off ebay and no problems. They are the real deal..Just make sure you buy from Ebay stores or off a power seller..than you will be fine...

 

That's a new one.

 

IMO rotas = ::THUMBS DOWN::

 

knockoff rake rims of rotas? oxymoron anyone?

 

I still have mixed feelings about wheels off ebay

 

how many people have lost their lives operation on rotas?

 

I havent but I have heard about them cracking from pot holes and such. Konig ftw!

 

na i wont hate on ebay they have some legit wheels.. but im not gonna spend 600 on rotas that r knock offs, then i hit a pot hole and gonna crack.. f*ck that.. juss like ejlday sed!
