Default Rota P45F? Thoughts/ Opionions?

So as the title says, what are your thoughts and opinions of getting P45F's on an IS350? Hows the quality of the wheel compared to others? I don't plan on tracking my car or anything, just want to have a better set of wheels. And I like the 5 spoke a lot

I don't know why people dislike rotas so much. The reason why you hear bad things about them are because the owners do something stupid like hit a curb at 40mph or powdercoat them and weaken the metal. Then they blame the wheel. Doesnt make sense. I have been driving on the same rotas for 15 years in the city voted worst roads in america, and no problems. Best bang for the buck.

They're the same price as Varrstoen wheels. I mean they look nice and they aren't any worse as far as quality is concerned. I say why not, I want to see pics though stat!

Was never a fan of Rota P45, especially not on a Lexus.

What the??? Why people said stay away or said it is for Honda not Lexus... Dude, I used to roll on Rota SVN with no problem.. They are great for DD to me use them without worry about damage another set of expensive rims.. Dont listen to other people comments, just buy it... I regret selling them because I need them for DD.. DOH!!!

^ so listen to his thoughts. I'll agree that they look nice, he only uses them for daily driving cause he doesn't care about them. Like they're the junk wheels. He rather keep his Works off for daily driving. I know VIS250P so that's why I can say this. It is Totally up to you on what you want. it's your money
