Any FC's Rollin on Rota Slipstreams??
Been thinkin that a set of flat black rota slipstreams would look good on my white fc, so i wanted to see if anyone else is rollin on them, any color ide like to see...also drag dr23 are the same just a little cheaper....lets see some pics!!

Will look horrible because they are not size intended for a rwd sports car.
Id stay away from rotas http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/6906/rota0ni9.jpg http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9015/rotayu3.jpg http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/6088/rota3te7.jpg http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/7688/rota33te9.jpg EK4 turbo with 500hp and Toyo R888 tires on Nordschleife... |
RB motoring has some real regamasters last time i looked
|
I have rota torques, they work great for a street car. I don't know why you would go racing with them, but IMHO, they are absolute perfect street wheels.
|
Rotas are cheap wheels. You can order them in custom offsets, backspacing, and size. But when you're done with that, you probably can get a nice set of sunken TE37's for the same price.
|
be patient. watch ebay and RBwheels.com
i just got a set of BBS RS for super cheap for the VW and a set of TE37's for 800$ brand new in box. |
Friends dont let friends buy rotas.....
|
just dont do tire spins on them u are fine
|
|
ouch... note to self don't be tempted to bye rota...
|
we've raced on rotas for years, they are the perfect race wheel actually. WHEN the drivers hit things, its not $500 a wheel to replace.
the race car is not some big tank (2400lbs), and we run the RB wheels mostly and have never had a problem |
They are not made in china Right? Tell me that rim didnt break on its own Just making a turn? You had to hit something right?
|
I think they are made in the Philippines. I had a wheel break on me like that before, but it was an american racing wheel (not on my rx7) and it was when it hit a curb during a sandstorm.

Douplepost (?)
I've an FC with them, it looks OK. Good choice for cheap aftermarket wheels for a better tire selection. Posting pics of broken wheels without a story is easy, I live in an area with a big import community (Central FL) and personally don't know of anyone that has broken a set of rotas. Other alternatives would be sportmaxx's, old school meshes from an american car widened by a wheel shop, or ARE (american) meshes from ebay. Just do your research on offsets/width and tire setups unless you want it to look wack. |

I sure hope this doesnt happen to xd-9s! :tonque: |
most of those pics of broken rotas are because they are cast molded, and the drivers dont know how to drive lol... The real wheels that those wheels knock off, are mostly forged, and do not snap break like that, they will mostly bend and fold up etc, and you dont typically see their drivers put them into that type of abuse smashing into curbs etc :icon_tup:

i say go for it rotas are cheap to replace if needed and normally are decent wheels i mean yes they break in an accident but in everyday driving they are just fine. my freinds run rotas all the time on subis,boosts on Evos are common. and my freind has the TE37 lookalike rotas on his FC
|
anyone have any pics of some slips on a fc?
