Just found this.. heh

 

This is an old pic!! I see this thread being closed in the next couple of days because people will debate this issue over and over. This whole rota vs name brand rims is as big as the presidential campaigns. Each person has their own opinion on rims.

 

I've seen plenty of lambo, ferrari, and even stock rx8 rims break in similar ways. The question is if this rim broke because of G forces combined with wider tires or what..

 

Thats good information to know that rota's arent the only rim that could break this way. From the looks of this pic it looks like this person might have hit a curb real hard or something. Who know what could have happended to this rim.

 

it looks like this honda owner might have been street racing and got into a bad crash.

 

if you like that check out this thread.

 

 

that rim looks pretty sick when its twisted like that.

 

no proof that those are rota's anyway

 

agree there are plenty of rims that look like those.

 

id still get some rotas if i had money for them. ive seen some rx8 wheels shatter! as long as you dont plan on crashing into any curbs your fine. even if they do crack they're easy to replace

 

another classic case of get what you paid for. i still can't believe people stand up for and purchase such garbage. ESPECIALLY rx-8 owners.

 

stay on subject dude!! look at post #3 mysql is trying to figure out what happended to this rim since he's seen this happend to lambos and ferrraris? so i guess according to you the people that purchased lambos and ferrari's purchased garbage cars with garbage wheels because their rims broke off? I guess they got what they paid for

 

i went from uber baller volk te37's to 5 zigen..hahaha

 

Regardless I think we can all agree that spinners suck.

 

that is a rota subzero, easily differentiated (but a knockoff) of the Racing Hart CP-035

 

alex i really admire you knowledge of rims? you must be some type of rim connoisseur

you've stolen these types of rims before too huh? sweet jesus you are just talented. Let me guess you have a chop shop also huh?

 

dude what crawled up your *** and died? I only post here to spread my knowledge. I haven't seen a single useful post from you...

Hope to meet you in person some day.

 

Your getting a lil defensive your knowlegde is appreciated mister rim connoisseur

 

i was noticing this pattern

 

DRAMA QUEEN

 

As far as the rim that was twisted (the subzeros) if you read into it a little the rim actually hit the caliper which inturn caused the twist.

 

subzeros are copies of spoon wheels.

 

wrong

spoon has only made one wheel, the sw388 (which is actually a rebranded and flat black version of the desmond regamaster evo)

The rota copy of that is the slipstream.

 

well thank you for that knowledge, your quite the rim connoiseur! but as you can see i am no grammar connoiseur...
