hey guys, i was browsing around and came across these rota rims. i knew they had a spoon look a like but these actually look pretty damn good. given that they weigh in at 12.5 lbs, i think it would be a great solution.



i was just wondering what your guys's input would be on these rims.

 

There okay. How much are they?? BTW thanks for putting up my dyno pic.

 

well friend told me groupbuycenter is doing 400+shipping, the pic wherei got it from, diabloautosports.com is doing 114.xx per rim.

no prob dan, sorry i got you mixed up with that other guy hehe.

 

Do they make them for 5 lugs???

 

supposedly they're coming out with 5x114.3 in mid september?

anyone know if they're gonna come out with 16s?

 

spoon should sue them.. wtf is up with the exact copies.. lol! makes me a little pissed that i paid so much for my 16's but ohh well its too late now to turn back.

 

If those are the Rota wheels in the image, it looks to be dead on a Spoon wheel. There is another knock off Spoon wheel that doesnt have the lines between the spokes with a square valve cut. These Rota's have the Jwa stamp, lines around the spokes, round valve stem and what appears (from the pic) like a sticker that resembles the desmond one. It isnt as light and strong, but for 4 bills what do you expect. A jdm 4-1 costs more!

 

Hmmmmm...those would make nice winter wheels, while my genuine spoonies take a break....

That is if I had spoonies...

 

Gunmetal:





Just picked them up last night

They're dark, the gunmetal is much darker that ITR gunmetal. They have a hint of bronze in them too . . .

 

Damn, for 4 bills...im sold! when can we order them?

 

I wouldnt hesitate...
Extremely cheap, good looking, real light and durable...its a win-win-win-win situation!

 

My little bro campaigned a set of Rota's on his Miata Turbo.

He had nothing but good things to say about them: reasonably light, and he didn't break one on the track, so they are fairly strong. Where can we look at these?

 

wow jeff, where and how much???that is nice!

yes, but are they forged?

can we get them in 16" in 5 lug pattern?

 

I am also very interested in their quality. Does anyone else have any experience or comments on these wheels?

 

the person selling on gbc said that mid september would arrive their 5x114.3 pattern. i think that was for a certain color though. maybe the flat black like spoons rims are already out in that bolt pattern? anyone else have info to add on these wheels?

 

Their website only says that the 15" gunmetal spoonies are out in 15x114.3. Heck I'd rather have the guns, they look sweet.

 

I think I'm going to get a pair for my hatch......Good price

 

These wheels look like one hella deal!

 

those are the real spoons i presume?

 

No, those are the rotas!!

 

woah, i didnt see any logo or anything!

anyone planning on getting a set soon?

 

If someone buys my koseis I will
