Roja R2-5

I have a question. I'm interested in buying Roja R2-5 but I want to know if Roja is any good. How much would it cost for rims and tires.

I think all RO_JA wheels are cast, including their top-of-the line LT Series. It's not a bad thing, especially if you're on a budget. However, cast wheels are more prone to failure, as they have a greater tendency to exhibit microscopic imperfections, like surface cracks, which can hinder the overall strength, not to mention decrease fatigue life.

Don't be discouraged, as these, as well as many other cast wheels, are made in such a way they are quite strong, though not as much as forged.

What sizes are you looking into?

Are you getting RO_JA mixed up with some other brand? All the FORMULA series that they currently carried are all forged wheels. Even the R25 is a rebrand VOLK wheel from the GRAM LIGHTS line.

RO_JA R2-5 is forged so are all RO_JA wheels. " It's not a bad thing, especially if you're on a budget." Is 3,000 a budget to you? I'm looking at 19's 235/35/19 & 275/30/19

Good choice. These are currently my favourite choice.

I fudged, on several parts. I'm sleepy.

Their top of the line wheel lineup are of a forged, one-piece design. Well, the question isn't about forging, so we can throw that one out.

I would say they're pretty good wheels, considering they used re-badged RAYS wheels in their lineup.

a 235/275 setup would look nice, especially with 19-inch wheels. Would fill up the well arch quite well.

In terms of availability, I would invest in RO_JA wheels. There are some wheels I want that are out of reach, and probably out of production.

As much as I like Ro_ja styling, I've heard they are heavy, is this just another rumor or can anyone confirm? I've tried finding specs through the usual sources, but nothing yet. just wonderin'
