If my wheels spun at 100krpm like a turbo shaft I would probably agree with your ebay comment, but you're comparing apples and oranges. ebay turbos are documented garbage. Anecdotal evidence says Rotas are as strong as the next wheel. What part about so many WRXs running on Rotas (and similar or even cheaper wheels) just fine makes you think they are of such questionable quality that they wouldn't work on a car that's 500lbs lighter?

FWIW, I have Enkeis.
Find me a single wheel that is similar weight or ligher than a RPF1 at half the price. With similar strength.


@OP: If you have extended studs, spacer + OG spare is the best option. Ebay spacers will do just fine in this case.
