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.

Here are the other ones... you can tell that all those are Rota's and not their real counterpart.

The bronze 8 spoke (ce28n copy) is acutally a konig helium. My bad. I looked at the image tag. heliumcrack1.jpg



This is a Rota... Look at the center cap.

I'd be scared to put Rota wheels on such a heavy car. But they do look good.
