opinions on rota wheels

Your guys opinions will decide weather or not I pick these up tommorow. I like the looks...I mostly drag race ocassionaly and if I do autocross it will be maybe a few times a year....I heard from some people the rota wheels suck....poor quality....knockoffs...etc. A few others have told me they're good stuff....I see a lot of evo owners running them....so some honest opinions will help me decide. Thanks

Cool anyone else? I'm pretty much trading my stock rims and 750 cash for the p25r rims black with red lip...so it should look good with graphite grey? But anyway anymore opinions appreciated!

Your gonna trade your stock wheels/tires that cost about $400/$230 each and $750 for some Rota's?
I have had many sets of Rota's but I wouldnt make that deal.

i wouldn't trade my stock bbs's for them, but they are an acceptable choice as a back-up or second wheel all things considered

like everyone else here says, great price/performance...but what you're doing isn't smart though with the $750 + stock wheels thing.

I've been running some Rota Boost wheels on my wrx since '03 and I've had no issues with them. That's about 70,000 miles with them covering the whole country from east to west and then back to the east coast, rough mountain roads, and a few dirt road excursions. The paint is still good. They've been great wheels for me.

dont trade your stockers for the rotas...just buy a set of rota's and use your stockers as winter wheels or you could buy the rotas sell the stockers and either break even or make a little money.

Hmm I havnt done it yet....the rotas are p45r I think..sorry and they come with federals stickiest top of the line tires I can't think of the model....yeah 750 does seem like a lot. He said the studs are german and expensive...and lugnuts were expensive. He hasn't driven his car at all with those wheels and tires becuase he just put a 35r on it....I was planing on just trading him and buying a stock set let on....what's a legitimate offer....he told me he payed 1800 for everything brand new. Let me know guys thanks! Btw my enkies and advans only have 4k miles and about 70% tred left.
