Rota has made a name in the import/tuner scene.

Why dislike your katzkin? I love mine. It feels so nice.

Going back to ROTA, the wheels arent that bad. They've improved the build quality. And they are beater wheels, so poeple who push their cars hella hard would buy them and breal them coz they're inexpensive. I'd call them "practical wheels".

Nothing wrong with Rota. They are not as light and strong as thier "real" forged counterparts but not unsafe or anything! Plenty of other companies make cast wheels like Rota that are unique designs (like all the sub $800 wheelsets on TireRack).

The only reason I retired my Rota Grids from AutoX to DD is they are HEAVY AS FUCK which is another downside of cast Rotas over Forged Volks or whatever.

Need quick diy help. HID install and bending the squirrel finder down. I bent down the thin tab close to the back that is already angled sliightly down with room under it (not totally flat). It seems like its not a clean cutoff still but big glare. Did i bend the right part or should I have bent down in front of it?

30k is nuts. I'm about to crack 10 in a few hundred miles.
