That's fine and dandy but no need to post those pics. Do you have personal experience with Rota's? I don't have Rota's on my car but it's funny seeing these pics pop up. High End wheels bend and break too.

The drop really made a HUGE difference. Car is looking sick minus the stripe lol

Lets not start with this knock-off nonsense. Its really getting old and annoying. Most of these brands have really stepped up on their build quality. And most of those pics online are either old or idiots who slam their cars into the curbs and blame the wheel out of anger.

Why don't you post those pics then? Matter of a fact start another thread about it.

I would have but it's been a while and this forum automatically deletes threads that haven't been updated for 2-3 weeks. The photos were of autocrossing.
*edit*
Did some research. Rotas are good for everyday use but are dangerous for track use. So the driver can be safe as long as they're not racing their car with them. Not bad

Bump, out of pure curiosity, when looking for your wheels did you ever come across a 19 inch version of these? I'm pretty sure they were never replicated, so I might have to get the legit for a 19.

^ now thats how a SC should look.

I personally don't believe rotas are "dangerous for track use". I've seen so many people use them at several tracks beating the hell out of them. So to each his own, but I think for the price and fitment they are amazing. Check these guys rocking rotas

I never saw the point on spending 3k on wheels on a 3k car, but to each it's own.
Car looks pretty sweet after the drop, nice choice on rims and coilovers.
