ignore the mororns please Rotas have become nice wheels now adays.

Sadly Rota's reputation was ruined early when they paid no attention to the quality of there wheels.

as of latly i would choose Rota's over most of these "original OG JDM tyte wheels Dawg."

both the Boost and the P94R wheels where broken in chrashes.

but since your gonna to be the average wheel tool. they maybe only 14s opf maybe 15s but 280ZX wheels wll fit on a 4lug RX7 and fit flush

2700:

Set aside 1500 for ANYTHING you MAY need done on the car at a later date, just store it in case of emergencies.

Then with the 1200 left, I'd buy s5 tails... pristine set shouldn't set you back more than 200...

Then you got 1000, next should be your cars underlying bushings, new pulsation dampener, fuel injectors cleaned, and then move onto aftermarket suspension and a RB exhaust.

lol yea wtr, if they did (brake while driving down the road) then they'd have a ton of lawsuits on there hands idiots...Stop believing everything you hear on the net.

have any of you ever owned any rota's? have any of you ever owned any rota's that have broken?

and in those pictures, can you find anywhere the info on what ACTUALLY happened to them? i doubt it. (because most of them were broken durring a crash or from some dumb *** hand braking into a curb)

PROOF:

GST Motorsports is an awesome and very reuputable shop. Here are various quotes from other forums where Rota Wheels were discussed

Quote from GST Motorsports Tuner/Owner Mike Warfield
"Actually our sponsorship relationship with Rota wheels has nothing to do with Bryan's post. I have known the guys at Wheeldude/Subydude for over 8 years and when building our cars that you currently see in Time Attacks and for the NASA 25 hour endurance race they are who I asked for wheels because I know the wheels hold up.

Your notion of 2-3 hard laps only holds merit for what YOU deem as the car is used for, the car originally ran the 25 hours of Thunderhill on Rota slipstreams. We also run the car for up to 30 minutes hard in it's current config in testing and I can assure you the wheels are abused (what is seen at Redline or other events "ala 2-3 laps" is nothing compared to the abuse the car sees).

We had multiple choices for wheels for our car and for the most part they would have been free or next to nothing, but I chose to use Rota's for the following reasons,

1) I knew they would work and hold up.
2) They are a local based company to us that we have a long standing relationship with as friends (outside of business).
3) As a company the local main distributor has an excellent reputation of customer service which is inline with the companies we like to associate ourselves with.

On another note we campaigned the Speed TV/Modified magazine Scion in the last 2 NASA 25 hours and the last one we used Enkei RPF1's, we started the race with 16 wheels and currently have 7 that can be used again. We bent 5 of them in slight off's at speeds not exceeding 60mph and snapped the other 4 in a 80mph roll over. I can tell you we have put way more abuse into our current Rota's on the TA car than the 5 bent wheels saw.

Also if Grand Am merits as a professional race series I worked with a couple of teams a few years back running Rota's.

Mike"

Every picture you posted of rotas is from a crashed car. Look at the grass or the way it broke on EVERY broken wheel. Theirs so much proof all over the internet and from people running their AutoX/Drag cars with R compounds or slicks.

If your going to talk **** about a product, at least know what your talking **** about. How could you NOT tell that all of those were crashes.

Quit trolling the internet and go out and get some real world experience.

wow some ppl get pissed. i have one buddy who has some rotas on his honda. they dont look bad. and so far have worked well. he even got them of ebay. haha. but if i want to keep my car i will buy some nice 3 piece rims. in case something happens.. i can fix them. i dont think i said rotas were pos. i just posted a pic i was shown by a friend. everyone has their own opinions. if anything when i said i wouldnt get any crappy honda wheels. i was dissin on hondas lol. though ive owned my fair share of them

and btw those subaru 2.5rs' are sweet.

Zer0Suvivers

but you never know i may end up getting some.. they have quite a few of styles to choose from. that is nice.
