Any members here know about this wheels and using it? Are they good? They looks very nice to me! Can I have some advise?

 

From what I've heard, as long as you don't use them on the track or very aggressive for that matter, you should be fine. What specifically were you wondering?

 

Do they fit the OEM Brembo? I don't track my car just drive aggressive sometime!

 

Certain models (of wheels) require a spacer to fit larger calipers. Which model wheel are you considering?

 

Why wouldn't you want to drive aggressively on them?

 

If I remember right their pricing was a bit insane.

 

There are several member with these wheels, do a search

They have a ton of custom offset options that should allow you to configure them to fit any brakes

 

I thought they are more for looks then performance... ; )

 

OK thanks let me do some more research... what do you guys think about the looks on these wheels?

 

My opinion on them doesn't matter because you only know what the end goal Look of your Z is. I think they look all right, but for me, I want a wheel that's going to hold up & last. Once I hear something like " as long as you don't track them" my alarm goes off.

 

Yup, OEM wheels take track abuse, Rota wheels handle track abuse , why in the puck would anyone buy a wheel that will not handle aggrrssive driving.

 

Because ricecar

 

You guys know that Matt Field and his Formula D S-chassis are running OFF THE SHELF Rotiform wheels, right? Oh. No. You don't know that because you didn't research. With the exception of Terrasmack, please please please stop saying things that you DO NOT know or that you have no real information about. And I don't mean specifically this post, but just in general, our scene is become so littered with "I heard" or "well, I think I once saw". Everyone here can google. And not that Matt Field is the only sanctioned race competition car on Rotiforms. I just happen to KNOW of that because I follow the sport. But the fact that one person said "I think you can't track on them" and then everyone just followed suit is fairly annoying.

All that out of the way, OP, you can drive aggressively on Rotiform. They are a solid wheel company. In all honesty, in all my years at a track, I've seen maybe 3 incidents since 96', in which a wheel broke. And all of those were fairly extreme. And, in all three of those, the car broke as well. (not just drifting, but autoX, drag, and road/circuit days). I've seen factory wheels, replica wheels, and name brand pricey wheels all hold up under the same conditions. And not that this matters, but "fake wheels" didn't even really become a thing until the early 2000's when Hellaflush was taking off. It was mentioned in the high times of JDM but it wasn't because wheels broke. It was just the ideal of knock-off parts.

As far as clearing brakes, you can order custom specs to fit your needs. I don't know what your budget is, but if you're looking at Rotiforms, I'd imagine it's fairly healthy. Do yourself a favor and do custom specs. It generally doesn't cost you any more. Especially since they've been putting wheels on our chassis since before Edafe (Royal T) had an LS...which is at least 3 years.

All of that information could've been found out in a few moments by searching, but there ya go. Good luck in your endeavors.

 

Thanks Driftsucky

Maybe it's a reflection of the new generation however posting just any old crap without real knowledge ends up creating thread after thread of chaff.

Well, I know nothing about Rotiform , but just because they are on a drift car means nothing. There is also a pro drift car running XXR wheels, I wouldn't touch them.

To the OP, research the wheels before you buy. If something seems off with the wheels , look elsewhere.

 

I track MB battles and MB weapons. They hold up just fine. Too much hate on cheaper rims. Not enough love on sticky tires.

 

I can provide a little bit of insight into how these companies work and where the quality varies.



Blank Forging > Turn > Cut > Finish > Assembly - my wheels being made.

Most forged wheel companies like Rotiform outsource their CNC work to larger companies such as MHT Wheels (MHT makes ADV1, Foose wheels as well) or local CNC shops, unless they have their own machine facility like HRE. The blank forgings are usually manufactured by old school US wheel companies that have moved onto the blank forging business. Keeping a healthy stock of blank forgings is the most difficult part since designs will be limited by the blanks you have available.

Triangle Hard Alloys is a supplier of lips and barrels to many of the forged companies. HRE would have Triangle Alloys on the barrels back in the days, not sure about now. When supply is low some companies will tap into the cheaper stuff being imported.

In the end the difference is in the aluminum quality of the blanks, lip, hardware, and barrel either made in the US, Germany, or China (sometimes elsewhere). The finish quality would vary a lot more since there are many places that paint, polish, and or powder coat. The final assembly would be in house.

In the end you are basically buying the design and left open to where the companies source their parts.

I asked a ton of questions when my wheels were being manufactured.

 

A track car using them doesn't mean much. I'd be more concerned with the impact shock from hitting a pothole and having your wheel practically explode. Not too many pot holes on the track.

 

I bent the hell out of many MB Weapons before I swapped to Enkei. They are great wheels for the price, but in the long run, my Enkei wheels have been cheaper.

 

thats funny because im moving to 18x9.5 NT03+M for the next event.
