Cliff notes:
Guy was trying to find out what rims these were: fwd offset FTL.
Even more FTL is that fact that there debadged.
Heres the troof behind them:
Knockoffs of... Ray's Engineering Volk TE37's
I want to see something like this, and not ebay junk.
knockoff are the way to go in my mind . . . . who cares if you have the real thing or not… On the M I had REAL Ac Schnitzer wheels and the only way you could tell that they were real is on the back of the wheel it says made in Germany and has the AC badge on it… then a couple months later I found AC knockoffs for 1500-2000 less than the real ones and the only way you could tell they were not real was on the back
it all depends on what your buying some things knockoffs can pass for other things the lack of development, quality products, quality components that make up the component and R&D to certain parts like Suspension, Roll-Cages, Oil panscan lead to a catastrophic even. Some times wheels as well.
I’ve had no problems with my rotas P45Rs. I’ve hit a good number of pot holes, AutoX and drifted with them. No probs. The spokes are thick. I’m unsure of other models, like the torques? first off, they’re ugly, second those spokes are super thin.
The boosts in the second pictures seem like they’d be stronger… but maybe not. My theory would be since there are gold brembos it’s an sti and probably doing rallyX, which is hard on any wheel.
These guys also use P45Rs… so I’m not worried
In Europe rotas are much more prevalent.
*edit, although I’ll admit I don’t like the fact they’re copies of other wheel designs. I think that’s pretty weak. But for me I couldn’t find nismo LMGT4s even close to good sizes.
i mean those knock offs are universal 4 lug…u know there fake by that alone.
and yea i bash rotas and never used em. i know they shatter but thats not why i hate them, its because they don’t have an original idea in their head. all they do is copy popular wheels, make them with inferior technology and sell em for cheap.
I have sold Rotas and I have used a Rota in the past. I have also seen failures in person. I bet that low budget guy at Formula D 3 years ago wish he spent the money on a real wheel instead off a rota. I can t find and old picture of that car but that 240sx had the roll cage bent it cause the wheel snaped in half
fwd offset FTL.
