I love my Rota GeForce

 

Knock offs has been lumped together with many definitions.... there are many reputable wheel manufactures that use similar styling to other companies... does that mean they are knock off's too?

Personally I don't think Rota's are crap wheels... for instance, many people race with rota wheels and I haven't found a ton of broken wheels roaming the internet from poor quality. No doubt there are much better wheels, in design (strength vs weight) and manufacturability (forged)

 

rotas are good for what they are. period.

 

rotas rock i loved them in my rx8 and i drifted at least 2 times a week for atleat an 2 hours and never had any problems i love them but hey when i pay off the student loans then i get me a set of te 37 time attacks but i will rock the rotas till then lol

 

paying $3,000+ for wheels alone is completely ridiculous. just because a wheel looks similar doesnt mean its a knock off either. theres only so many designs you can make a wheel. some people will pay all that money for a name and a few pounds, im not one of them

 

The issue with Rota isnt of their quality, at least it shouldn't be as they are certified and undergo fairly strenuous testing; not to mention they manufacture wheels for automobile companies such as Mercedes Benz. Instead, the issue has always been the rationale that they are an outsider and not a proven wheel manufacturer in the EVO market, leading to the belief that they are not superior to say Volks, advan, ccw's, etc. I suppose that there is also the thought process of quality deficiency due to the cost gap between them and other manufacturer's wheels such as the ones listed above.

i find it hard to believe the wheel just broke apart out of nowhere like that....

 

It didn't. No wheel would have survived that look at the LCA HAHAHA that thing hit hard

Actually dudes lucky that's a ROTA save his *** some money trying to piece his car back together if its not totaled

Poor example of trying to show poor quality

 

Old pic, story behind is NO WHEEL would've survived the impact that driver had. Try again. LOL. I do think its funny when people say their crap and show the same pictures.

 

i wonder y AMS uses ROTA on their FAST car? .. bcoz ... u know the answer ...

 

Umm okay. Think what you guys want. Theres a reason Rotas are cheap and it because there not as quality as other wheels.

Do you guys really think you are buying a high quality wheel for the price that Rotas are?? If so,

 

Do you really think that any other wheel would of held up to that hit?? if so

 

They only use Rotas on their Drag car.

They do not use them on any Time Attack/Road race cars, as they are not strong and dont hold up to track abuse. They use Enkies on all those cars.

 

The accident that broke that Rota was a mild accident (40-45mph, serve to miss deer, went into ditch, rota rim explodes), so yes, IMO, a quality wheel would NOT have broke in that example.

I have seen many other rims become the victim of an accident and have never seen one break like that one did.

Anyways, you guys can keep telling yourself you are buying super strong, quality wheels if you want. Just dont try to spread that info as fact, because its not.
