There is quality and safety behind it too. I have seen too many Rotas cracking on people. Heck I seen it happen in front of me @ the track. I will admit, the price is tempting but from personal experience I would have to reconsider it.

but, it's their own safety....

these wheels are too fragile to be racing wheels....

a little tab on a curb, or hard cornering can actually break these ****ers....

i spent 3k on a set of wheels on a 2k car before....

so, i dunno.....LOL

Im not tracking my Fit. Ive had rota's on my other cars for years and have never had any problems. I just cant justify spending 2k+ for forged wheels on my grocery getter.

It does not necessary apply to racing. Even traveling @ a certain speed and you hit a pot hole. Who knows what will happen?

Rotas will break when if impacted hard enough on the street. For example, hitting potholes from hell.

Please dont listen to the haters, I hate how every single rota thread turns into a flame war. I ran rotas on my weekly tracked 425hp 433tq evo and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. This is coming from someone currently using Volks. Buy with confidence, buy from Wheeldude. His customer service and stock are the best by far.
