dudeondacouch Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If your buddy drives like an asshat, and subsequently smashes into curbs or other debris, then yes they will crack and/or be unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted April 3, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted April 3, 2013 Does that go for just Rota's or is that for all wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasAyinde Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If he's concerned, he should just stay with the stock wheels and paint them black with a red lip. The money spent on rims can go towards...I don't know...THINGS FOR HIS KIDS?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatsuDano Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The rims are for his kids. Duh. Every kid wants a baller dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His priority is obviously with keeping his kids safe in the inevitable event that he time-attacks his car into a curb, not with ensuring that they are fed/clothed/sheltered. Pay attention!

LuckyBob Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Your buddy will be just fine when those cheap Rotas crack and fail on the highway. His kids, unfortunately, will not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk6933 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Drift Motion, you beat me to it. I personally love Rotas!!! They make a cheaper alternative of Volks, Advan, Works, etc Wonder why people buy the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Rotas are fine. Look ok and super cheap so good bang for the buck wheels. The real deals of course look much better and are usually stronger and much lighter. WWW.MODDICTION.COM Moddiction Stainless steel and Titanium shift knobs. Drivetrain, suspension, brakes, exhaust, cooling, fuel, gauges+MUCH more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 These were my Rotas. http://www.strizzyphoto.com/photos/i-j9L4zMd/0/XL/i-j9L4zMd-XL.jpg That happened after being run off the road and slamming a curb at 40ish MPH. The way I see it, the wheel did its job and absorbed the impact, rather than transfer it to the rest of the car/suspension. My alignment was unchanged after the incident, and nothing was broken.

Strizzy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm pretty sure Rota wheels are more reliable than Subaru turbo engines. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The internet can imprint a lot of things into peoples minds. Rota, Volk, ADR, XXR, BBS, Axis, Works, Advans, Enkeis and so on are just brand wheels. They all will crack and bend if you hit them hard enough on a curb or pot hole. wheels are wheels. Its what you want to pay for them. Not everyone can afford the real deal. Imitation to some people works for them for what they want to use it for. Don't get discourage from other members stating that certain wheels are crap simply because they read it on another forum. If you search, you can find that forged wheels will crack and bend just like the low grade wheels. Although forged wheels will most likely bend before cracking.
