I actually like those wheels, they look good, but I hate rotas from personal experience. I used to be on the same "they're not that bad and they're cheap" boat, until I almost died from a pot hole when I had Rota's on my old GS-R. Literally. 2 of 5 spokes snapped and my wheel bent to the shape of an 'L' while cruising 70+ mph on the highway. I refer to this pic whenever I even think about purchasing a set of Rota's again (yes, I posted this in another thread as well)...
EDIT: This is not my car, but the same exact wheels. Mine actually looked worse than this IMO.
Actually, I do not think those are rotas. I forget the rim make though. That accident was caused by the owner not checking offset and having the inside of the wheel too close to the caliper and it ate away at the rim itself.
To the OP: I like your rims. I am also part of the subie crowd and if anything could break a rota...it would be a subie, but the rotas still hold up.
