I'm not hating here...I guess the reason why Rotas have poor build quality to them, is because they're manufactured in the Philippines...Pretty embarrassing if you're a car fanatic who is of Filipino descent.

I think they look great from the side now lets see that offset! I'm all about the cheaper wheels because hey if I do mess one up replacing it is pretty cheap

Now I understand that a lot of people do not like the Rota wheels because they "break" or are "junk".. But, my question is.. What kind of driving conditions are they being put thru before they break? How many curbs are hit? how many pavement to off road transitions were made? Were the lug nuts all tight? I understand a "cheap" wheel.. but why do so many people dislike a company, when in all actuality, it could have been the drivers fault?..

its annoying for the OP to keep hearing that rotas are bad, and people flame him for buying such cheap wheels.

Isn't this forum a positive criticism forum? Hopefully no flames?.
Anyways get some better shots! if one side is dented show the other side then!

Nothing wrong with Rota's. They look good on the SC. As long as you are happy with them, then the other negative comments don't even matter.

Again, not to hate, But on behalf of all Filipinos (Since Rotas are made in the Philippines) here on CL, I'll apologize for the stigma attached to Rotas.

What if the wheels are made by Germans who work at the plant in the Philippines?

Guys this is the 2nd time, enough comments about how Rotas are made. We have had enough comments in other threads and this threads about them.

what does everyone mean by unreliable? I've personally never heard anything bad and know lots of people that run them...maybe someone can inform me? Not really wanting to sift through 7 pages....and for the record


That looks sexy...I have a friend with the same wheels, maybe different brand I'm not sure but they look the exact same, and he has them on his black sc as well, and they were black, but he just polished them lol. Looks sick to me
