lol… great pics…

from what I understand, rotas are not really that much lower in reliability compared to most OEM wheels… plenty of people race on them without problems… it’s really potholes that getcha.

I’m willing to bet that rota also has some quality control issues, but the overall design is fine.

I can’t imagine that being real. A 500hp honda civic would not be able to do that. I highly doubt those drag radials even get enough grip for that to happen.

lol because it is… thats not possible, they are cast wheels, they crack, not bend.

Besides, those tires CERTAINLY did not hook up that well.
