can anyone recommend me to get rota rims on line,in my country they dont have this..please recommend me some shop that is reliable.thank u

 

LOL use the search button sirr and this does not belong here.

 

Your first mistake is wanting rotas. OEM does fine (assuming you have a Type R)

 

another one to send off to death in the hybrid forum {aka trash can}

 

Du Nawt put wota wims on integwa type awwe!

 

Seriously? What is wrong with trashing a set of slips on track?

Cheap, and easy to replace should you have an off road excursion?

 

I'm with Dave B! Let the rotas do all the dirty work. not everyone can afford to put used $1500+ wheels to work. I have Circuit 10's for dd, and oem for track use.

there are some Rota retailers here on h-t, just do a search and you will find what you need.

 

I agree totally! I don't see what the big deal is with having a set of Rotas on an R to begin with. Hate me but so what.

 

+1. Type Rs are great cars and all, but it just makes more sense to use a low cost wheel for racing.

 

After I do all the other things on the menu for my car that "might" be the last thing I buy is a set of TE37's, Gram Lights, etc. Till then I don't mind faking the funk with a set of Grids.

 

My Rotas have well over 20k track miles....hard Canuckr style miles too.

To answer your question....assuming OP comes back Years ago, I bought a set of Konigs from this vendor and was very happy with the transaction. Here's his Rota thread....he may ship to you..

I've seen too many Rota wheels fail with "normal" driving abuse. Some designs are ok, but some absolutely are not.

Personally, I'd buy a set of Enkeis way before I'd even look at a Rota.

And how is this ITR related?

I would have no problems rocking rota. almost bought some slipstreams for track but found some K1's instead

 

The K1 is a stronger/better wheel than the slipstream.

And that's the thing--you have properly designed and R&D'd wheels like the Kosei K1, K1-TS, Enkeis, etc. that are all almost as light and much stronger than the Rotas.

I mean, for track wheels a wider and ligher wheel is nice, but it's not like you're competing for laptimes. If you are, then you'll be running something forged. If not racing, then why not have the piece of mind running an aftermarket wheel that you won't worry about it fragging when you come off a berm or something?

Remember that most Rota wheels are copies of forged wheels--very nearly identical copies. A design that works with a forged wheel may not be strong enough with a mild cast wheel.

 

^^ Agree, but with my skill level I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference and I track for fun. But I am glad I found some K1's. Really like them

 

This is my point. Why not buy a wheel that you know doesn't have any past issues with cracking/breaking? So what if it weighs 1-2 lbs more. Not like you'll notice anyways.

This is why I don't understand the purchase of a Rota wheel when there are so many better alternatives out there.

 

Todd, while I have heard older stories about cracking Rota's, I don't recall any recently, and not with Slips. Any recent data on this?

 

I would think if a Rota wheel cracked or failed it would have to be some serious abuse, hitting a curb (really hard) or bottoming out in a deep pothole. I'm not that hard on any rim.

 

There are horror stories all over the 'net about their wheels being prone to failure. Heck, I've even personally seen two sets at an autox that were beginning to crack @ the spokes. And these were not abused wheels, either.

I've seen less issues with slipstreams than I have with their other designs. The 15" version seems to be decently strong (due to the spoke design). Still though, there are other wheels I'd buy/trust before a slipstream.

 

Any wheel can crack guys. I never had a problem from my GT3's, Enkei's, or my Konig's. I did however have a Blitz type 01 crack on a spoke and on the barrel. But hey **** happens. I think it all boils down to what type of abuse is put on the wheels, and how often the wheels are subject to that abuse.

 

I guess I should mention I don't autocross at all. The hardest thing my wheels have ever done is run down the 1320, avoiding a collision or a furry varmint on a dark road.

 

I wanna see some actual proof of a Rota wheel breaking under normal and moderate abuse.. And proof that it was a the original owner.

If these wheels whether they be Rota or any other company are second hand use, then you don't know what kind of abuse they have been through before that person got them and had the wheel break on them.

I dont track or anything or have been to a race so I'm unfamiliar w/ the type of stress that is put on wheels while racing. But I assume w/ super sticky tires and while in a turn is the most probable time the wheel could break? I'm I correct? Or what would most likey cause a wheel to break with out hitting something?

 

Me also.
