Rotas are good wheels.

Volk/advan are great wheels.

I'd buy and use them both, I bought my volks. Used so I got a good deal on them. I can't see myself going from volks to rotas tho.

 

been racing rota rims for the past 6 years, and all i can say is there the best for the price, never bent or cracked on a race, well for me racing is the ultimate bench mark.

 

Rotas are fine. Everyone I know who has them hasn't had one single problem with them.

 

Just bought a fresh set of new Rotas

 

Rotas are not nearly as bad as some people make them out to be, I run them usually for street duty and keep the more expensive wheels for track use. Even on michigan roads, I've yet to crack or bend a rota, so IMO, they're great for the money.

 

While most serious track drivers would used quality forged wheels, the Rota's do offer SUPERB value. I'm thinking about getting a set to use for the track, but thats because I can't currently afford $3k for forged wheels

 

Rotas are ok. I think of them as the best quality knockoffs.

 

Ive owned a pair a couple years ago on my wrx. Never had a single problem with them and never known anyone with a problem with them.

 

Now that spring is near, I'm wondering which direction people ended up going? Me personally, I ended up getting a 2nd set of bbs mr rims on summers just in case and I am still contemplating on my 18" set.

From what I gather reading everyone's comments, Rota's are the best bang for your buck in terms of looks/quality, and the only people who will really care is the JDM purists.

 

By results in the poll's on this site Rota haters are the minority.

 

...and, those of us who value low rotational mass before most other attributes, when buying wheels.

 

Personally, I would never run Rotas on any car I own. I'd rather go for some quality forged wheels. Of course you will pay $$$, but you get what you pay for.

 

Yea for real. I'd have to say that for the track/autox hell any HPDE don't think you can't really go wrong with the stock Enkies or better yet BBS's with proper tires

 

I would run Rota's but I also can't justify spending a ton of money on wheels. For a track only car and if I had a ton of money I'd run something else, but for a daily driver Rota's are more than fine! I've never heard any bad stories from my buddies that run them.

 

Agreed, but I don't intend to track my car at all, so I can't see this being something people look for that DD/have garage queens.
