I'm seriously considering these wheels. They go for about $120 a piece and only weigh 14 lbs! A friend of mine told me that sometimes lighter wheels have a tendency to bend easily. Do you think that this wheel is TOO light? I really like them and think the black wheel would look good on my black fit.

 

14 lbs! this wheel in white had just been bump to #1 on my list. woot!!

 

those wheels are really played out... everyone has those.

 

actually, they claim 13.5 lbs. They're lightweight track wheels.

And they are nowhere near played out. In fact I have never seen them in person (I go to car shows weekly). At least they are not played out like the konig trouble....

is the offset correct?

 

yea that get the real spoon one u wont be that played out haha

 

If I had 2,300 bones, I might.

 

yes they are uber played out but not everyone has the $$$ to drop on the real deal. For the price it's a GREAT value considering what you are getting. I haven't heard any complaints about having the wheel bend and cracking. Just stay away from the usual pot holes and curbs and you'll do fine.

 

good to hear. I'm honestly not worried about them being played out. It would only be a problem if one of my buddies had them or something. But I drive a honda fit, i dont think i need to worry about looking like everyone else.

 

No thats ok im going to get some other wheels for my car. Come to cali and youll see how many people have these wheels you cant go a entire day without seeing 3 sets

 

good thing you live 3000 miles away...

 

I actually bought a set for track wheels. I'll probably run them later this summer, but i stuck with the 15x6.5, so i'm still in stock G auto-X.

 

Dont listen to the ney sayers. Rota makes a great product, my friend has a set of 17" and beats the piss out of them and no bends. Get them and enjoy.

 

Dude those are the rims im getting when i get my storm fit.... heheeh Dont steal them! although they are rota, F*** mainstream im going underground

-nice pick btw! id highly rec.

i live 5 min away from there, once i get my Storm imma head over there and see if they can give me a better deal :P

 

White or Black would be sick

 

The slipstream is a cast, not forged rim but should be FINE for most situations. (I think if this wheel was failing routinely we would hear about it!) Don't let the "forged only" wheel people scare you. Lots of quality cast wheels out on the street and the track.
