Is that the same company that makes rota rims for the wrx?

I like the rotas on my wrx. I once bought knock off's for my 95 m3. Bent all
four rims in about 6 months. Not all inexpensive rims are the same. I have
had my rotas for over a year. So far so good.

definitly not a fan in my personal opinion...I would almost definitly prefer refurbished stock fb wheels with a slightly lower profile tire...I just don't like the shape of them...but then again price dictates everything...good price= good buy...at least you know if you decide to sell them that there is at least a couple guys on this forum who like them...just don't come to me first...lol

You need to paint the hubs yellow, with a bucking horse stencil in black!

Hopefully those are 110 x 4 I wonder if their made in 16 or 17 " ?

I got a job at safeway and was sitting in my car after one of my first days of work with my choke on and its pretty ******* loud with my exhaust. And one of my coworkers came up to me and was talking about how he used to have a first gen. and we were talking and he said he blew his engine after he bought some new rims, and kept them incase he ever got a new Rx7 cuz he liked them.

and told me he'd sell me them. So I want to check it out, and that's why I only have 1 of them on my car. Becuase he gave me one to make sure it would fit and see how it looks. And it fits great and looks nice
