I got that same shit, i have to use a slim socket. Nah, my problem was they rounded DOWN on our hub size when we ordered.

I have a very personal issue with them now. A year ago I worked with them to produce a 15x8" e30 m3 wheel. They took their 4 lug slipstream and drilled tuner fitment lugs into the wheel, even after I gave them all the specs. SO… instead of using an oem lug bolt with a socket to install them, you had to use a lug that needs a 14mm allen socket :shifty, and the holes were drilled near the edge or the metal, and if you could see through the wheel you’d see that there was 1-2mm of material on the side edge of the hub. They were clearly not retested for strength in this fitment. Only their original high offset 4 lug wheel was tested. Shady work. Even better… They told me they would send the shipment back and melt them down…maybe 6 months later a customer points out that they are on ebay. I’m done with them and any company with similar practices. > > From there I made finding a high quality manufacturer who tests and certifies every minor change, priority #1. > > **check out these Rota beauties:** > > ![http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/paintpro21/LTW%20motorsports/DSC01445Large.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/b/9bdf9c2099fc3eeffe0e345796c67ce55c7059d8.jpeg) > ![http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/paintpro21/LTW%20motorsports/DSC01442Large.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/7/471cd7f4f681ecd28ece2cafaa44490ed2195207.jpeg) > ![http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/paintpro21/LTW%20motorsports/DSC01444Large.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/9/39ca2f161795f8243e6d4836c27c47eab6400c75.jpeg) > ![http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b388/paintpro21/LTW%20motorsports/allen_type_bolt_D.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/a/4a8789c790c57d26f5d92afdff0b22560473ec29.jpeg) ---

just read my plate frame, enough said. i don’t hate wheels because they are cheap, there are plenty of good cheap wheels out there, and yea rotas are good 95% of the time. i hate rota’s and other similar wheel companies because they don’t have an ounce of original thought in there head. all they do is see what the newest trend in wheels is and then replicate it. in the u.s.a. where nobody cares and people will by trash replicas because they are cheaper all day long, its perfect buisness. but the people that buy them always will know there wheels aren’t as good of quality as the real ones, no matter how much they want to act like they are. oh and there are plenty of cheap wheel companies that have original ideas and don’t just copy wheel companies. just like the new wheels my sister is getting. ---
