yup, pretty much. you are pawned like the noob you are. have fun with your TEG Heour. make sure to casually pull your sleeve up when you are talking to the girls at the bar so they know you have a TOG Hoar

1) not the point (sigh, again)
2) you owned a civic... and a STOCK civic. and bothered to put it in a sig on a 350z enthusiast site... waytogo.
3) I am sure I look like a tool since I am in my avatar and apparently (because only your opinion matters) motormouth is a tool name. thanks for the compliments.
4) yeah... again, you are not so smart. just give up cause the hole you are digging is filling up with the **** coming out of your mouth. and no one wants to drown in bull ****.

 

but wait I thought you were the guy ragging on everyone else for getting Rotas. or for Freak wearing a Casio (lol). now you are proud of a civic... and a stock one? dude, I have never even OWNED a civic... you are the ricer wanabe here.

still making fun of people for driving Civics? self loathing is a bish aint it?

 

I'm sure both wheels, under normal driving conditions offer the same result. Rotation. Can't say much for cars hopping curbs or smacking barriers. Nice to know that the PIAA held up though, but I'd still get a new one.

 

A curb and a barrier are two different things. A concrete barrier is designed to lesson and spread the impact so it's not all thrown into one spot. Hitting a curb puts all the force into one spot, the wheel. Not that you can't be right, but the comparison isn't the same.

 

this dude is all over BBS & Volk's bawlz! are you a professional **** sucker or something? stop making a shopping list of expensive wheels, youre not proving anything.

just , youre doing a shitty job of getting me to NOT buy Rotas.


do you <3 my fake wheels?

 

oh yah? well i know a guy, who knows a guy who wanted me to tell you, bawz in ya mouf!

 

bawlz In Yo Mouf Son!

 

That's a Te37. Besides, there are 3 bends on that wheel. So, how does 1 "small bump" on the road cause 3 bends on that wheel? hmmmm... doesn't add up, does it?

edit:
Pic didn't load. :P

At least that CE can be fixed easily. The structural integrity of the wheel wouldn't be compromised either.


When I had my Blitz Technospeed Z1 on my g, I hit a massive pothole and bent the inner half barrel by mere 5 mm. Granted, I had that fixed with minimal effort as the structural integrity of the wheel was not compromised (it is a 3 piece all-forged wheel produced by Enkei).

I admit, Rota wheels do look great... after all, they are pretty much the same product of every other good looking wheel. However, I am quite concerned with the structural integrity of the molten aluminum itself (porous or perhaps impurities?), which is probably the biggest reason for the failure. Countless pictures of de-faced wheels with spokes completely torn off and cracks at the barrels should be a strong indication of why these wheels fail.

I just called their N. American Distributor and asked if these wheels are ISO 8001 and JWL certified, but apparently the representative had no clue wtf I was talking about.

I'm sure these wheels will work fine when utilized as intended, but every day driving will bring the unexpected. There is a reason why these wheels are dirt cheap, and that's one thing that'll keep me away from them.

 

FINALLY! Now *that* is an interesting observation.

 

All you have to know is that he called a factory-prepared 24 Hours of Nurburgring 320 diesel a "rice car"

Countless pictures? I haven't seen more than 7 or 8 at most. This is all I see in this thread is stereotypical exaggeration. Besides, I've NEVER seen any of the newer Rota models offered for the Z have any issues.

I've seen more pictures of cracked or broken Axis wheels than I ever have Rota.

 

It depends who you talk to at Rota NA, most of the representatives speak English as their second language and so they often miss what you are asking. Also because they aren't making the wheels at this facility (it is just a distribution center) they aren't trained to know the specifics on each wheel.

If you have any specific questions about Rota wheels please send me a PM and I can help you out.

 

In all the pictures (mostly the same pictures over and over again) i've seen of Rota's breaking, it's because the driver was a dumbass.

This is no different. I've seen the original thread. Some kid thought he would be a honda snow drifting hero in his integra and ended up putting his car sideways into a curb.

In the few instances where a rota wheel started to crack to no fault of the owner, i've seen Rota replace the wheels right away and take care of their customers.

 

Also for those questioning the strength of our 350Z fitment wheels. Here they are in action on the GST Impreza Time Attack car. This car makes well over 500hp and is driven insanely hard by driver Brian Lock. They have been extremely happy with the wheels.

haha....I dont care what wheels i have if theres one bend, or all shattered, your wheel is still Fuked... Id just be glad i didnt over pay, just to have cool, unique custome wheels ...

 

Finally...The man Talked..

 

rotas are good wheels. i have owned plenty of them and never had 1 problem. no1 is better just cause you have a more expensive wheel, thats just rediculous..... just get what you like and dont worry about other people. you can build a clean car overall and have rotas and get respect....
