muddy02 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 So i finally cracked my second Rota Subzero (after running with one replacement wheel for a while) and i decided to look for new rims. I wanted to keep my tires since they were in good shape. That limited my search to 18's. I settled on these Focal's. Anyone used this brand rim before? thoughts on the look? decent price, and they match my Garnet. FYI - the first 2 Rota's cracked/bent the lip to where they wouldn't hold air, then i find that the other 2 wheels had a cracked (clean break through) spoke each. http://www.tirerack.com/images/trans.gif http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/BigPic.jsp?wheelMake=Focal&wheelModel=F01&wheelFinish=Black+w%2FRed+Stripe It's not about speed, it's about acceleration!

boostedgrocerygetter Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 thoughts i think they are pretty ugly looking no offense but i just dont like wheels that match car color. and the design in self just isnt me. but it is your car other than pics on here non of us will probably ever see it in person. we dont make your car payments or pay for your gas, nor are we shelling out the money for the wheels. so get what makes YOU happy get what YOU like.

DocHolladay23 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 http://www.tirerack.com/images/trans.gif I'm not a fan either, I just don't like multi-colored wheels. Edit: Here's a pic since the link didn't work for me: http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af160/pballer2563/focal.jpg [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt?

muddy02 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 yea i didn't expect everyone to be a fan, i was mostly looking for any input on the quality of the wheel for anyone that has any. I never used to like colored wheels either, but they kinda grew on me after shopping for a few days. I'll post some pics on this thread once i get them mounted this weekend! (thanks for the pic edit, Doc!) It's not about speed, it's about acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 NP! Yeah everyone has their own taste, so as long as you like them that's all that matters. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

muddy02 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 well they look better in the box than they do from the website pic. PS - my rota's that broke are shown below. I really liked them, but the spokes are really weak. That's one of the drivers for me going to this 5 spoke style. http://legacygt.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1025&pictureid=5423 It's not about speed, it's about acceleration!

PimpFro Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 That would look really aggressive with cleared/blackedout headlights, the smoked tails and mirror signals, the black and red theme of the wheels on the whole car.

PrecisionX Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Don't replace with more rotas obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy02 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 The rota's were handed down to me from a friend when he traded in his WRX, and they lasted a solid 50K miles. The lip was just way too weak... It's not about speed, it's about acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think the rims look killer!! I agree on blacking out the lights too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
