I've seen photos of Rotas warped something awful.

You get what you pay for.

nothing wrong with rotas.

I don't rock them but if it came down to it.....I wouldn't have any problem owning a set.

GAME TIME!!!

Sorry I figured I'd throw that in since this isn't the wheel/tire thread.

Go Gators!

For every day use, it's fine. For track, not good enough.

I have a set on my fg. They're good, I really don't see what the big fuss is about their quality. I actually hit a pot hole the other day and it felt brutal, non the less nothing happened to the wheel. Like stated before for everyday use their great. Don't get me wrong I would love to have some gram lights or a higher grade wheel, but for now the rotas will do. just my .02
......... and yes I know they copy.

I have owned probably 3 or 4 sets of rotas. THe only time I had a problem with them is when I t-boned a jeep cherokee doing about 45. It bent and that was it. So unless you have money to blow or your going to track your car then go for it.

i've had the same set of rotas on my integra for 3.5 years; no issues here. i've hit some pretty bad potholes with no bending. they're not as light as more expensive wheels, but if you're on a budget i say go for them.
