I've seen on various selling threads for Rota rims. Is there anything wrong with them? Why are they cheap compared to other brands?

 

theyre knock offs but still good! =)

 

Oh hahahaha

 

They are cast versions of forged rims, to be accurate.

 

cast vs forged

Rotas are a decent wheel, nothing wrong with them unless you are a styledog and need to rock brand name stuff. People most likely sell them because they want a new look....lots of wheel ****** around here

 

Nothing wrong with Rota wheels They are cast wheels and this process is a lot cheaper compared to forging. Rota wheels are properly tested and meet very high standards such as JWL/VIA.

If you have any questions about the wheels be sure to send us a PM

so according to you guys, rota's are "ok"/"good" and wouldn't mind them cuz they're just a cheaper of the same-ish thing brand name's carry.
so what about drag wheels?
any info appreciated.
and i didnt mean to thread jack, just wanna learn.
thanks.

 

ROTA's FTW!

 

Drag is pretty much garbage, go with Rotas..

 

lol gee thanks. but seriously?
they're worse than rota's?
damn. haha.

 

Yes, a buddy of mine had a pair on his Civic SI and the paint on the rims peeled within like a month and they were pretty heavy as well.

 

wtf are drag wheels?

 

they are both garbage, but i gotta say rota's are making some nice looking flushed wheels for the 5x100 sizes.

 

Pretty much Rotas are the best bang for the buck unless you shop around the forums and find something used..
