SUBE555 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Rota makes a cast, maybe it's a hybrid forming technique, but it's not forged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Monkey Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Update: Suby dude offers wheel/tire packages for 18"s (not listed on the site): FALKEN FK-451 225/40R18 $ 1,364.75 FALKEN ZE-512 225/40R18 $ 1,302.95 KUMHO 711 225/40R18 $ 1,158.75 KUMHO 712 225/40R18 $ 1,220.55 [b]TOYO T1S 225/40R18 $ 1,447.15[/b] YOKO ES100 225/40R18 $ 1,385.35 As opposed to getting the tires from Edge racing: $631.60 Shipped The tires from SubyDude would cost $1447.15 - $725 = $722.15 Shipped The difference comes to $90.55. Would this difference more than cover the mounting/balancing of the wheels? Because if so...$1356.60 is much better price. Come to think of it...my friend works at discount tire...maybe I should ask him to hook it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 This probably sounds really bad. But I just can't bring myself to put Rota wheels on my beautiful new car. In know that there really isn't anything wrong with them, but there isn't anything right with the either (except price). DM, not trying to disuade you... Just me personal prefference. I do think those are some nice looking wheels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxerGT2.5 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I think they look good and apparently alot of Sube's use Rota...gotta be something right about them outside of price. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rims that you posted look pretty damn bullet proof. I think that I might just be a wheel snob :lol: I know that in the past that Rota has stood behind thier product. I think that they are more than safe to buy. I am still considering a set of Tarmac 2's with a polished lip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
