I’ve been looking at some OZ ultraleggers 18x8 for my car… But I really don’t want to drop $335+ a wheel. I’ve been looking at rota’s as well I’m torn between the Formulas or the Tarmac 3’s Anyone have any thing to say about rota’s in general? I know they are not the lightest wheel around ( 22lbs for the 18’s) But they are pretty reasonably priced, are they strong wheels? Anyone on here have them? I had a set on my delsol but those were 15’s… ---

I had them on my wrx. They looked good, were cheap, and durable. I rolled the car several times and the rims were still in perfect shape… minus the scratches from the payment. I ended up selling them super cheap. The guy who bought them sand blasted and powder coated them. Turned out very nice. ---

i am sure some one will pop in saying they know a guy who has a friend that knew this kid that had a set spontaneously combust. however, mine never had an issue, never gave newman an issue, or beck, or whoever the fuck has them now. ---

I have a set of tarmac 2’s or 3’s I believe for my winter wheels… smacked a curb at autocross with them they got a bit scuffed up but they survived. Still using them, they are a bit heavy though. HOWEVER I also have a set of OZ superleggeras and I \<3 them, lighter, wider, better looking… just find something used. Also, why 18’s? ---
