What do you Wheel Guys think of these?
What do you guys think of these in 16"s on a ssm sedan? I don't want them in gunmetal or steel grey... I like the plain old silver.
What's your opnion Rota's and their knock-off version of wheels... In this case the volk's. It's like wearing boot-leg tommy hilfiger-- tommy grea.
I don't know, but they're cheap and they look clean.
I have heard stuff about Rota's cracking though, what's with that? Is that just with the Group N's cause of their tappered end that go towards the wheel? Or is this just typical of Rota's products? Fill me in before I fall in love with these wheels. C'mon people some of you may remember how bady I just wanted a pair of Si rims.
These are 15 pounds and they're 16"s inches btw. They go for $450-$500.

Rep Power: 339 I don't know about a drop. I mean they're 16"s, I would want the wheels diameter closest to stock though. New springs don't get me sprung, I don't want to wear my suspesion.

Honestly... I think thats Rota's worst attempt at a knockoff ever. Its just far too obvious that they're copies of TE37s... and they don't look like the Volk's at all. They're just not shaped right.

Rep Power: 0 well, personally, if ur gonna have 16" wheels, i think u need somewhat of a drop to compensate for the size tires and wheel gap. especially with 205/40/16, a decent drop is needed. but to me, getting too fat of tires, can kill the look of some nice wheels. and same goes with not enough drop. just gotta balance it all out.
as for the look of these rota wheels, i still think they're dope. not everyone is filthy rich and able to buy the volk TE37's. i say go for'em, but do try to balance out the tire size with drop, if necessary. just my opinion. but anyway, good choice on the rims!

j/k. Actually I heard that the only Rotas that have cracked are the Attacks (I think it was attacks), but supposedly those were the old ones and all the new models are fine.
