for coilovers its actually a really nice ride, especially at full soft...... really comfortable, the dampening on the shock is very well built! when soft its very comfortable and when stiff its super aggressive for track purposes! i love it!

Not the ROTA bashing again. haha

They look good though. Try getting a 97 front or full kit to complete the look

i wouldnt bash on rotas, they are built pretty well now. with the economy in the toilet i cant afford 3k set of wheels which really makes no sense to me because
1. thats a huge fraction of the cost of a 5k car
2. im not looking to enter my car in shows
3. im just not that wealthy

that being said if youve got extra cash to burn send it over this way so i can buy me some work wheels. and to top it all off i ll bash on rotas for you hahahaahaha all day everyday.
i honestly wouldnt mind a sponsorship HAHAHHA!

i dont know what your plans are for wheels but im not going curb hopping with the wheels so i dont think they mass produce rotas to just fall apart on the street.

im guessing you 3k wheels are expensive because they are forged and are meant to go off-road LOL rock climbing and stuff ehh?

i think every time ive put wheels on my car, im 10 times more careful as far as driving (curbage, bends). dont think being careful is going to make rota wheels fall apart. plus theres probably a **** load of wheels companies out there that are a bit cheaper quality than rotas.

yes the sc is a heavy car, but how is subaru's rockin rotas from left to right?

RBwheels.com.

Plenty of used wheels, and probably costing about the same as those rotas, or a little more. There are always ways to have good wheels when you are budgeting right?

I've seen rotas bend/break on potholes in the street, with DD wear and tear.

I've read and seen pictures of then actually warping from track use. BUT, it's your car, and your money!

Besides, It's not often I get to use that motivational picture here lol.
