The car for now is DD, so I don't see a problem so far
Poor Construction. Countless Threads on Cracking/Exploding Wheels. Could've had Enkei's for the same price.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

Rota offers a lifetime warranty on manufacture structural defects.

The only time you'll see a "cracked or exploded" wheel is when you hit something.

I'm not going to turn this into a Rota Vs. the world thread, but theres plenty of "cracked and exploded" enkeis, oem wheels, and various other brands out there too, does that make them a bad wheel too? No it does not.

If you hit something hard enough, wheels are going to get damaged.

I promise you that if all these 600-1000HP cars can run rotas through various motorsport events, often going off track, then they will be fine on any street car out there. Unless you like running into curbs or slamming into walls, if that's the case, we don't have a wheel for you.





If you need more, I'd be happy to provide them. If you don't believe me about other wheels "exploding", I can provide you plenty of pictures of that as well

Yes, there was a cracking issue with an early run of Rotas (Attacks, IIRC), but other than that, they are fine. They'll have comparable strength to any other cast wheel, including Enkei wheels. Most of the Rota bashing is a lot of internet hearsay.

Yeah they're strong enough to not worry about "exploding" or whatever people are saying. The only thing I have against them is they rip every other wheel's design. If only they can create their own design/look then they'll probably stop getting bashed and become a respectable wheel company. Imo
