Been having a play on the rarerims site with the rota alloys, what do people think of the below choices?

Everyone has Rota\'s! Yes they\'re light, and take abuse well but they\'re all so BORING!


Don\'t get Rota\'s, get something dishy and interesting.

rota\'s look nice but too common.
i quite like ur current rims, looks a bit like re amemiya aw7 rims but the spokes on yours stick out a bit more.
as papercutout sais, keep them dished :)
your wings wider to fit the 9\'s and 10\'s?

+ 1 for dish. If you could get hold of some dished ssr\'s you\'d be onto a winner.
I\'d also suggest 18s on the back and 17s up front

The reason they look nice is because they\'re rip-offs of various proper wheels made by people that actually invest in minor details like R&D, metallurgy, decent tooling, etc....

I\'d have to add a voice to the "don\'t buy Rota"  chorus. I think they just say "I\'m too tight/cheap/much of a fashion victim to buy the proper wheels that these are ripped off from". You wouldn\'t expect people to admire that "genuine" Rolex you bought from the moody market trader in Turkey, why expect anyone to take Rotas seriously :3Confused

Keep the ones you have as they look well matched with the rest of the car and graphics.  If you lose the graphics then change the wheels.
