All custom setup, made it myself

FD rear discs, but for that you need to modify the hubs.
FC front calipers
Custom bracket


I still use the stock brakelines
I made a custom handbrake converter to convert the stock lever and cables into hydraulic power, instead of mounting an ugly aftermarket handbrake lever.



This pic is of the first mockup version which wasnt strong enough

Let me guess, if they were TE37's you would love them?
Pretty much the same design, Most people just don't like the brand Rota..

The rota's are much more concaved then the volks, and give a more agressive look. That's why i would choose these over the volks anyday

nah i had a friend that rocked rota grids and we were on a mountain run and while he was driving one wheel cracked from his spokes and almost sent him off the guard rail. i dont sit well with cheap wheels. TE37s are hyped also im more into the classy look.

Anyways Back to wheels and specs!!!

Never seen it, while rota's are widely used over here in time-attack and drifting.

only heard stories, and always told by people who know somebody that cracked a wheel

instead of mounting an ugly aftermarket handbrake lever
The stock one IS incredibly ungy, and in the way!

I like the look of the Rota's for the exact reason you mentioned: The concave. The same concave on TE's is only on the extremely wide versions. I'm all for function though, so I would always choose the cheapest option if it performs the same, but they don't. I wouldn't choose Rota's because of their weight. Their reputation doesn't help, plus I like wheels alot, so I would like to have the real deal when it comes to those.

Regardless; They do look awesome on your car! Get rid of the window film, and no-one will have a reason to call your car a "Tjoener Bak"... ;-)

Great job!

Riz.
