They will be fine for a street car I ran a set on my old WRX but I don't think I would buy another set. I would rather spend a little more and get a non knock off wheel just to help support real companies

I've seen lots of Rotas raced on. Granted, it has been primarily on lightweight Hondas and auto-X. It makes me wonder if some of these wheels happened to meet some curbs or something.

That slipstream makes a pretty rad Ninja star though...

There is a bit more of a price difference between a Rota and a Volk then "a little" though. At least double... They aren't incrediably stronger or lighter either as my last Volks bent just as easy some cast wheels I've owned. They were also only about 1.5 pounds lighter then a good cast wheel.

The Penske drivers were on a level of their own! They were much cleaner and smother around the track than everyone else. The TDI's are hot! I think that will be the racing of the future.

ps. Rota's suck! JK, It's a great "looking" wheel. I don't think it is wise to go to hpede's on them our cars are too heavy. The heat and stress will cause them to go boom. Lets just say that Ben's photos aren't the first that I have seen with center section broken out. I had a set of SSR competions that I hit pretty hard at an event and they stayed together but if they were rota wheels I would bet my bottom dollar they would have exploded and my car would have been on the ground with more serious damage some where else. Fick and Jason saw them (SSR) they can attest to their durability. If the stock Eight wheels are good enough for Group N Tarmac racing they are good enough for me.

Erich should still do it (that's Eficker), I don't see why he would've stopped. And as far as everyone says he does a great job (never been tuned by him, but he's a good guy)

eficker is so great. Have him tune your car, mod your xbox, pimp out your Vino, work on your R/C car and then let him slum-lord a rental house to you.

yah get a hold of eficker or munoa, munoa owns a dyno shop down in orem and eficker does tunes, i have one of his tunes and am very happy with the way the car feels.
