Rota quality?

Are they decent rims? I'm considering BBS 04 STI rims http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=36311&d=1177984035

Prodrive P1 or

Rota G-Force http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1152148&postcount=1

for my BSM LGT. I know the BBS are forged and that the P1 is supposedly tough for cast. I'm not sure about the Rotas.

you know how many is running on Rotas?

Rotas are cheap. a full set of rotas only cost 800 shipped with all the parts included.

as they say. you get what you pay for.

but replacing it is probably gona b the same price as fixing a bend rim.

You get what you pay for - a solid wheel at a good price.

Hmmm, that wagon looks familiar....

To me, "you get what you pay for" implies that they are cheap rims because they have a cheap price. I think you get more than your money's worth with Rotas. Nice finish, solid casting, nice designs, and Suby-centric. Plus I've received great customer service from Subydude.com.

I my Rota's.

I think most Rotas clear BBKs too. If you can afford the BBS, go with Rotas. No Prodrives unless theyre forged.

I like the look of the Rotas the most but the BBS are forged. Does it make a big difference?

Yeah. The BBS are a lot more expensive to replace if you curb one.

depends on your experiences with the condition of your streets

that pretty much sums it up. bosco

Curbs and potholes will bend just about any rim if you hit it hard enough.

IMO Rota's are great quality for the price, but quality isn't near the BBS or even the OZ made Prodrives.

i wouldn't get the P1's tho, IMO for the price tag i'd get Rotas instead

so it's a tie between the BBS and Rotas? I like the Rotas better personally but can get both for the same price.

Build quality on the BBSs will be higher and the weight lower (most likely), but you are stuck with one style.

 

Depends on whatever is more important.

If you are on a budget, get the rotas.

 

If you have it like that, get the BBSs or the P1s

 

End of story.

 

I personally would buy rotas, and spend more money on tires and suspension.

I voted for the Prodrives....

The look of the Rota is def. there but the finish coat on them leaves alot to be desired. I have one **Tarmac 3** that is only 1yr old & it's finish is flaking off:(

the paint is coming off or the clear coat? did you contact subydude?

Yes over 6 times now & still nothing:mad:(:(

It's a little worse now & it's still only on the one wheel....

Check out their web-site. Rota is a modern wheel manufacturing company based in the Phillipines.

 

I have a set of Royal Silver Subzeros on my Miata and am very happy with them. They are strong, light weight, the fit and finish are excellent and they look very sexy on a Miata (sorry no pix, but ya gotta take my word on this one!)

 

Some don't like Rota because their wheels are copies of more expensive wheels designed by others. Kinda like the cheap "Rotex" watches you can buy on the street. But instead of being "cheap" the Rota wheels are "inexpensive" and are very well made. Sure they are copies, but isn't that the sincerest form of flattery?

My rotas have held up very well to extreme heat and rough roads. I've been very happy with them.

I heart my Tarmac III's...And I've had nothing but good experiences with Subydude myself...
