and trust me, they have the money to spend on they're car

 

lmfaoo really??? lmfaoo i wanna see pics of that

do they look legit enough though? always thought bout that aswell like can they pass off for volks or watever?

 

lol if i post pics i'll be callin my friends out. lets say they do look legit but if you know the difference between real bape and fake bape then you can tell the difference between rota with volk badges and real volks

 

im sure they can pass with the centercaps

 

ahhh i see wat u mean from a distance they look legit but upclose ull see the flaws of bad design hahaha thats funny

i like the bape comparison lol im not a bape fan myself more of a dunk sb fan

 

hm but would real volk center caps fit rota wheels? lol

 

i'm pretty sure they do

but they also have the volk/rays stickers on the actually spokes like the original volks do

 

i dont think so cause rotas are 56.1 centerhub i think?

 

custom center caps it is lmfao i wanna see pics of people doin that now lol

 

You know, Rota really does mean broken in Spanish. With a name like that, I would seriously be worried for my life driving with those wheels on my car. Wouldn't you be the least bit worried?

Suby owners buy Rotas because, yes, they look good (because Rota rips off the designs of other manufacturer's most popular wheels). Ask anyone why they bought Rotas and they will say it's because they looked good. Rotas makes multiple fitments and multiple colors other wheel makers don't. And finally, Rotas are priced cheaply for anyone and their mom to afford.

Slipstreams and Torques are the only Rota wheels with the stress rating that allows them to hold up on the track, which is why you only see those 2 wheels on track cars. All other Rota wheels are NOT ok to used on the track. Kinda makes you wonder why they sell the other wheels with low stress ratings. Most people know what they're getting when they decided to purchase a set of Rota wheels. They know it's a low quality imitated wheels of the more expensive brand. They know the wheel are not as durable/reliable as the original. They don't don't buy the Rota's wheels and expect them to perform on the same level as Volks, Advans, or BBS. It's like buying ebay HKS imitated intercoolers and expecting to be as good as the orignal HKS. You know you're getting knocks off, so you should know that you're going to get knock off quality.

To me, there's much more satisfaction in buying quality wheels. Work, Rays, Advan, BBS, ect. are expensive for a reason. Those manufacturer's wheels are built with quality, using the correct method of casting or forging, inspected with the highest degree of QA, and proven to withstand the most brutal environments. Also, keep in mind that a quality wheel will bend when it hits a curb, not catastrophically shatter like Rotas, Tenzos, Konig, ect.

However, the argument between baller wheels and cheap knock-off brands will never die. It's human nature to justify purchases. It's all up to the consumer to make their own decision with their own money. Some of us, like me, just want to make you more informed before you spend your money.

 

Its actually roto in spanish.
"Se ha roto" - it has been broken (in passive form).

Romper - to break.

Roto - past participle of romper (irregular form).
and it doesnt mean broken...it means frayed or torn apart

 

doesnt help your opening statement either in your lengthy article lol

but yea i see what you were getting to. i always read into what i purchase cause i also believe in you get what you pay for.....its just another friendly debate....thats all :D

 

Cool, do you still want a "frayed or torn apart" wheel?

 

maybe...just to try it out hahahaha for the price its worth a try :D

 

I'm frequently on NASIOC just browsing and there is just as many rota haters there as there are here lol a lot of people there feel the same way about rotas as we do..just for some reason a lot of them run those wheels
