Cause these definitely won’t survive driving around troy’s potholed roads everyday. oh wait they totally did. As long as you don’t pretend your wheel isn’t a rota, i could care less… but if someone got a rota D2 and then pretended it was an SSR that shit’s ultimate fag. ---

And had problems, but they were a custom order. That’s really where Rota falls short IMO. Sometimes they’ll take wheels with hubs designed to be, say, 4x100, and just drill them to a 5 lug pattern for special orders, leaving literally mm’s of metal between the lug holes and the ourside of the wheel hub. Which is gay, it’s stupid oversights like that that happen because they produce a SHIT TON of cheap wheels, there’s no re-engineering of a wheel by any means when custom ordered. Just make it work and ship it… ---

Just make it work and ship it… no they’re just dumb. your wheels were designed for 5x114.3 not 4x100, so they just didn’t leave much clearance. I got that same shit, i have to use a slim socket. ---

They are meant for the track. This… +1 Whatever rims are rims, so what if theyre some off brand wheel? Who gives a fuck… I’d rather pay 600 or a set of wheels than 600x4 for a set of good ones… Maybe when I have more money than I know what to do with or when I say “Hey I have $2400 I have no idea wtf I Should do with lemme go buy some rims” The few broken rotas do not outweigh the countless ammount of people out there running them without problems and beat the shit outa their cars W.Tungsten comes to mind… at least i nthis thread ---
