Got me some Rota C10's. :)

This is kinda old news, but I didn't post about it yet...

They weigh just as much as the Rota Attacks that I had, except you can feel that the weight is concentrated more towards the middle of the wheel (which is a good thing for acceleration). The color is bronze (which was the color of my old wheels).

I wish I had gotten a different color though. Maybe flat black? Hmm... I might re-paint them later on down the road. The original paint is kinda delicate. When I had my tires put on it took some of the paint off. Almost as if it was still wet. LOL

Thanks to Zzyzx for linking me to a thread about recall information from Rota. I had defective wheels. The Rota Attacks that I had were from their very first batch and they had a tendency to give out during hard cornering. I was riding around with a cracked spoke for the longest time. Oops.

Anyway, they look good. I've gotten used to them now. My car looks good with them on. THey seem bigger than the Attacks that I had. Can't beat a new set of wheels for free though! All I had to pay was $48 for mounting and balancing when I transfered over my old set of wheels onto the new ones.

No, it's not the "sports bronze". I asked for those, but they didn't have them in stock. I waited a long long time for a replacement of my defecctive wheels, so I said hell with it and got the bronze instead. I'm not too dissatisfied though.

Here are some pics from today...

Thanks. It's a Minolta DiMAGE S404. Very good quality. These are shrunk down to 25% of their original size.

Where did I order from? I got them directly from Rota. I didn't pay for them though. They sent them to me free of charge to replace my defective Rota Attacks.

Yeah, I like them too. I've seen that sports bronze color in a picture on ephatch.com. Lemme find it... Here's one: Rota C10 16's "Sports Bronze"(56k Beware!) Here's another: ROTA CIRCUIT 10 rims (MF 10) Check out the second page of that thread. The sports bronze is lighter and duller. Plus it has a different color lip; lighter in color.

I'm planning a whole lot more than just a drop for the exterior. I'm going to have a Tsunami spoiler. The Tsunami side skirts. Some rear valence (don't know which one yet). Then 2004 rear taillights. Also a different grill (don't know which one 'cause none are that nice IMO). Then some mirrors from ProCarParts.com with the OEM heated/power mirrors transfered into them. Then some foglights and a nice grille on my front bumper. And... Um... Oh yeah, an intercooler when I turbocharge my beast.
