Hey guys, Im thinking of buying a set of Rota D2's. Does anyone have them? I would like to see them on our celicas before I make a final decision. Also if anyone has Work Meisters, that would work too.

I have quiet a few friends running rotas on their cars that they use to dd and to Trac on the weekends, not a single problem with them, and from what i have read on the rotas breaking alot of it was due to owners powdercoating them and something happens to change on a single cell structure with them metal used when it gets to X tempature.

The breaking isn't even the main issue why most the people on this thread said stay away from ROTA's. It's the fact that they are replicas, I'm sorry, I mean copies of real wheels. Companies spend tons of money to create stylish new wheels and the very same year ROTA will copy the wheel and sell it for a fraction of the price. Literally, like instead of 800 per wheel, ROTAS are like less then 500 a set. Real rim companies are literally slowing down production and jacking their prices up just to stay alive with the increasing popularity of replicas...That's why I don't like them... But if you want to get into quality as well, it's like comparing a fake rolex to a real rolex, difference is night and day. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

But if you want to get into quality as well, it's like comparing a fake rolex to a real rolex, difference is night and day. the reverse could also be true, since even companies like Ray/Volk or Work Meister don't always use "original" designs in their range, lower priced replica's can help keep the market alive and stop companies from jacking their prices sky high, lets face it, some wheels are ridiculously over priced for what they are, some wheels fair dues should be priced higher if they use some sort of "hidden experimental technique" to make the wheel light and strong as that is what I would pay for over the over all look. i'd say it's more like comparing a Casio watch to a Rolex as a Casio is good enough to do the job but is a bit meh. -------------------- ![]() |
