if you're a DIY guy, some people use high temp spray paint (BBQ paint too...NO JOKE).....seen a couple jobs in person, and they looked pretty good.

Out of curiousity, *why* do they suck? They are very strong wheels, and can take a hell of a beating, plus they are inexpensive, and light.

Actually there have been reports of Rotas cracking very easy. You can find the info on NASIOC. I read a lot about them when i was in Dallas. Forged wheels are the way to go. You can use Rotas for winter in the areas where it snows.
If i had the money I would use volks for track and auto cross and BBS for street.

But that's my opinion, others doo not have to agree after all this is a free country
