not to be mean but rotas are cheap, i don't think they should be put in any high end cars such as subies specially stis, my friend has rota slipstreams once on his civic and it cracked on the track. you get what you paid for , i told him.

) so they do not have to change tires every october. I do this too, though not with Rotas, as just changing wheels (~20min) is hella easier than changing tires ($ + time at the tire shop). Besides, to many of us "Midwesterners" (well, i'm sorta a mid westerner, and many people in general the "BBS" name is not very important, and the form/function is much better (BBS are better wheels though, and that is why they get used as track wheels).I am not doubting BBS' quality at all, just to some of us in the snow belt we would rather not destroy $1100 wheels in the winter. Besides, they are best suited for track use (and IMO, are not very pretty) and why waste a perfectly good set on the street?

Cheap does not always mean bad quality...
