People can hate on me for buying copies and ****. Don't matter to me. I bought what I could afford and what I thought looked good.

 

I agree with you. Nothing wrong with Rota's.

 

Hi guys!

someone buy my wheels/tires

 

yepp atleast rotas have a decent weight and are jwl rated

 

No they're not... the markings on them are copied into the mold.

 

Yes exactly...

 

Those Rotas look pretty nice..I agree with Mike, I wouldn't buy expensive wheels to go drifting..If my car was for show, then that's another story.

 

On another note, anyone can get any set of wheels that they desire, who gives a ****, it's their car, not yours!

 

I honestly didn't figure the wheels would generate hate. The car is going full on drift car status and not some show car.

If it I was going show car I would of bought CCWs instead of the Rota's. I mean honestly, why spend $3500+ to risk damaging them if the car goes into a wall.

 

Initial fitment impressions: HOLY ****

Now bear in mind I run really aggressive camber for the street(F: -3* R:-3.5*) and run Sprint 2" Drops spring that settle well below that. The rear of the car with stockish camber and no pre roll would be impossible. My tire is touching the inner fender as we speak. The front I have plenty of room and no need to roll just yet.

Pics:






Gona go back out in a little bit and roll the rears. The fronts I won't do until I get coilovers

 

Looks great man.

 

looks good!

get that **** lower!

 

forsure i have megan racing coilovers.. my buddy has a set of stance coils on his and there not to bad. im saving for some JIC's

 

Looks good, now get your car detailed

 

You should lower it.

 

congrats Fate

you need some different angles on your shots tho!!

*** shot to see the stance - close up 3/4 angle shot from a squat position and a rear quarter panel to see fitment.

Looks good - now slam it

 

WOW! Those orange rims look hot! Nice choice Fate.

 

I plan on rockin my Rota Boosts til the day comes that my 8 is no longer a daily driver. They're lightweight, I like the offset, & imo they look sexy as hell. Who cares if they're Advan knockoffs lol I like 'em & that's what matters!

 

looks better mounted fate :]

 

The car is actually lower, but it has been on jackstands for almost 2 months, so I think after some driving it will settle a little bit. The car is dirty as **** from all the dust that blows around out here.

Thanks for the compliments and I promise, no more iPhone pics. I'm gona get the rears rolled here in a bit(had to take a nap, woke up at 6am on my day off, gah!). Then I'm gona go get it washed and take the camera with me and see if I can't get some pics that are better.

 

Is this becoming a rota <3 thread now?

Props to you Fate for doing what you want, who cares what other people think.

On the other hand, to so many people saying, "I wouldn't buy real wheels for drifting, that'd be stupid." - Why not buy the cheapest car to drift in as well? You can go off track or crash while driving aggressively/on the track as well, but that doesn't stop people from getting authentic wheels...

Orange wheel <3 either way



The Rota orange looks a bit darker than Volk orange...

 

yeah i get whay your saying tilt, but from track experience posibilty of ******* up durring normal track driving is much les than with drifting, for some reason or another they always get curbed or some **** lol

 

Another thing...Rota's are much weaker than wheels made by Rays, therefore will not withstand the impact as well.

 

true, then again they are cast at adams i seen forged te37s big m istake and onle a small bend on the lip were it woulda been a chunk missing with any cast wheel

 

Ha!
