Thanks for looking though!!
I think the green can work (only on white though). IMO the red tails and green wheels clash.
But the whole rota thing really burns me because it's knock off. Now when you have the real thing people accuse you of having rotas. It's lame.
BTW, I like the design too. But when I'm doing wheels, I'd do the real thing at the least for best weight and confidence the wheel was made the best it could be. For instance... if volk produces 50 wheels and 2 of the 50 have cracks in them, they melt the whole batch and start over. Their QA process is why the wheels are so expensive. I don't need to risk having a crack in a $150 wheel and have it come off at 150mph.

I'm not going to buy a set of wheels for the brand or the name. I bought these wheels because I like the six spoke look, and I like the concave appearance. That's the reason. Sorry if some don't like either the manufacture or the green. But I thought I'd post up some pics because I like them. I think my next set of wheels will be some WORK XT7's or 8's.

I get it, everyone's on a budget but I was hoping that Rota would at least start producing its own designs by now. Thats how most companies work, after a while they start designing their own products. Unfortunately thats not the case.

If you are buying wheels for the look then you should be buying Volks because they invested the time and energy to design the wheel and make it look the way it does. Hell they were the ones that started the whole takata green color that you have chosen for your rims.

Yeah and Superman is my neighbor.
Some of the top tuners use Rota wheels and not all of us need to buy name brands in order to feel SAFE.
Why cant we run rotas on a $30K car. Its not like its a super car or anything it a Mitsubishi. Its actually my toy that I like to beat the **** out off at the track.
To the OP, Nice wheels I like the green, get a nice drop and it will really set it of.
