I have a set of Slipstreams for autocross.

Good wheels, strong and light. I've heard a few bad things about the Attacks, where Some WRX's broke a few spokes (they were autocrossing). I heard that Rota replaced the wheels no question asked though.
I haven't heard any thing about the Sub Zeros.

Thank you enormously for that! You da man! I've had problems with getting a replacement from the distributor, but now I think I can get replacement directly from Rota. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Rota's a good company. They may have messed up, but they have also gone out of their way to make their customers feel safe useing their products.

I they they'de look nice. Kinda a Subaru look. Although ,aybe the gun-metal ones would be better. Yeah, gun-metal. I'm kinda considering them myself for my ride. That is if I get to choose the color when I get my replacement rims.

Yep. One of the very first 80 produced. I haven't heard back from them yet. If I don't hear back from them tomorrow then I'll give them a call instead.
