Why are rotas so popular. To me, they dont even appear that great, yet i see tons of group buys on forums all over the web. Are they really light or something?

 

their the best knock offs in town...cheap too

 

rotas are copys of very prized rims from japan, such as spoon and mugen, at like 1/4 of the cost, they are good quality too, not cheaply made

 

They're light and inexpensive and they knock off some of the more populare wheels.

 

decent quality= decent price=

 

These are actually knock offs that are lighter than most wheels on the market.

Not as light as the originals but hey... they're knock offs

I wish i could afford mugens... like 500 a wheel!! rotas are like 500 a set!!
Rota= budget set up

 

I got mine a few years back when Miata guys were using them for track wheels....back then they werent all over the place, before they were saturated in the honda market.

I always loved MF8's, but theres no way in hell I would pay for them. C8's look similar, are lightweight and super super cheap. I figured if I bent one, it can be replaced for under $100, so no big deal. I didnt know they would turn out to be so durable...they are really awesome wheels.

They defy the old saying IMO...cheap, light, AND strong. Rotas =

 

Slips I payed $99 a piece shipped and they weigh like 10lbs , they look good and wiegh nothing and cost close to nothing . cant beat that imo .

 

decent copies of well known rims for a good price.

 

Rotas are only "played out" to us, the enthusiast. Really, I hardly see anyone in my town or city that has them.

Rota is a damn good wheel for the money.

 

Are the rotas about 450 a set of four or 450 each. http://www.hondadriven.net/sun...art=0
This site says rotas are bout 450 each. are they right or they jus overcharging.

 

That's about right

 

450 a rim is the right price for rotas?

 

where can i get a set??

 

they are some of the lightest and least expensive rims out there and are built well... he said 450 for all four.. not one rim

 

Where did all you guys who have the rota's order them from?

 

best styling and wannabeism for 400 bucks.. its like a pet rock "its what's cool"

 

16" inch spoon rim. 12.8 lbs (i believe)
16" rota slipstream rim 13.5 lbs

spoon rim 485 each in 16 inch.
rota rim 500 for the whole set.

EDIT:
ohhhhhh you mean Rotas without the apostrophe... Rota's would imply someone named rota had ownership of something.

i like my spork sw388s... errr rota slips, lightweight and they look like spoons. I wonder if Japanese guys think we're cheap riceboys?

-Ryan (who should have grammar nerd title)

 

Nice wheels. Rota's are A-ok in my book.

exactly...maybe one day we will all be able to get the real deal, but for now knock offs like rotas aren't bad at all.

 

rotas are great wheels in my opinion
yea they may be fake, but hell, for a 1/4 of the price it doesn't bother me
