I think I might be too.

I have "name-brand" JDM wheels on my other 2 cars but think I will consider the Rotas or other "knock-off" wheels this time around... If you just need some solid inexpensive wheels to take to the track or autox then I think they're the perfect choice. I wouldn't want to empty my wallet on some Volks or Rays and then put them in harm's way out on the racetrack...

If so that's mine.
I didn't notice an M3, but it was a few blocks off Mt Diablo, near Chow and Starbucks.

I just like em because I don't cry when they get curbed or dinged or whatever!!!!

Plus then when I get bored with them in 6 months I can get a new set!

Ugh I hate that grill and fog covers, swapped those out shortly after the photo. Kept the UK300's til I sold the car, though.
Those are Tarmac 2's

When I bought them in ~2004 maybe they weren't called "Tarmacs" when they were released.

Thanks for the correction.
They were always called tarmac 2's

These are the subzero:


These are the Tarmac 2's:


These are the Tarmac 3's


I had like 20 sets of Rotas within the 4 years I had my WRX haha

Maybe that's because you sell them.
