i don't believe they are rota's, although they appear similar to a few that they offer.

look closer. they're definitely not.

on op's rims the spokes are much more rounded. not to mention they have 8 lug nut holes.

Look at the inside of the rims and see if there are any engravings anywhere.

panchlow, I'm moving this thread to the tire/wheel forum in hopes that you will get better responses there. The thread will still appear in the '92-'00 Civic/Del Sol forum for the next 5 days/120 hours.

Rota [Group?] N1R



It may have been sold under Konig because I swear I remember them in the old discount tire ads under Konig (just like the old Konig Tuners, they are stamped Rota on the back).

Do as he said and take a look, tell us what you find. I bet there's a ROTA stamp somewhere on the backside of the face of the rim.

I agree with this guy...

Rotas are just knockoffs.. So I say just because its Rota, doesn't mean its more reliable or has more value than all the other knockoffs.. however Rota is a popular choice but why??

Cheap. Make a lot of OEM wheels. Good enough quality for most people.

How does this help this guy identify his wheels? I wonder what makes people like you even decide to chime in?

That's interesting, you rarely come across Rota's old wheel designs. I vaguely remember their website from before the knock-off era. They had some decent designs like the old Journey's, before it became an SUV designated size.
