You can see mine in my sig on my silverstone. I love the P45R. I dont like the P45F. Paint has not had any problems.

So you belive that everyone should spend 2-3 grand on wheels just to jump on the Volk/piaa band wagon?

I have a limited budget and I think these are a great rim for the price.

My friend curbed a Roto going 1.3mph and they cracked.








j/k, they are decent for the $$$, but personally with the amount of time I spend over 140mph, I wouldnt skimp on wheels or tires

What Color are these? I was looking at getting a staggered set on my Silverstone and wanted to go black/redlip. I have used their wheels on a couple of cars, great quality and great price.

I bought some Rota p45r's and all is good so far. They are lightweight and look decent imho, but priced very competitvely for what you get as well. If I wanted the "real" time attacks or some other Volks for that matter I would have bought them. I like those shiny titanium gram lights and may go for them later, but these Rotas cool. People who say Rotas ftl probably spend their day surfing an rsx forum or something. Nuff said

The reason people say "ftl" is because they basically are replicas of big name brands. But for the money its a great wheel for a lightweight cast aluminum wheel.

Safety first.

If you can afford a Z, why would you put anything lower quality than OEM wheels.

Yea and not everyone can throw money around like some and buy 8 sets of Volks...

I hate the comment on "if you can't afford ____ then don't buy anything" Hey if you like paying twice as much for something that works or does the same job then have at it boss. I am speaking in general. Get over yourselves....

Safety first is right!

However, if you like the Rotas, put em on. If you can afford the baller/race rims, then put them on. you shouldn't have to take out a second mortgage to get rims.
