they are cheap and they also are hubcentric with Subaru's.....fitment is very nice and it also has the perfect offset.
And also they have a quite large variety of nice looking wheels.

if you are driving thru a lot of potholes, i'd recommend getting wheels that are fully forged, i.e Volks.

its weird, A lot of owners who had rotas hate them, but most of them are very happy with them...I guess a small percentage were not made as well as the others..

they might not break when you hit pot hole, but who know what kind of stress does the wheel have after a several pot hole incident. also, I tried to get a sample from Rota, like just a single wheel, or even a broken wheel for my school project, they didn't even respose. I was pissed, cause that Rota guy always sound like he cares about customer blah blah blah. but when I request something like this, he's too afraid to reply, and let the world know how sh#tty their wheels are.

when you compare the amount of wheels Rota has sold, to the amount that are KNOWN to have broken, I'd say Rota makes a pretty damn good, inexpensive wheel.
EVERY manufacturer has wheel failures, its something that is unavoidable..

yeah, we can't justify how a wheel is manufactured based on their price, brand, and broken pics we've seen. just the fact that he ignored my request(even a piece of broken rim), and my intention was based on trying to proof everybody that cheap wheel can be good too. but I guess that rotawrx need to see some $$ to be a good caring person. or he's just afraid that I am gonna bust his a$$ on all his "690KG per wheel" BS. BTW, I got a forged wheel from intro for sampling already, raw wheel, without paint and any kind of finish. so I guess only the true good wheel company will give out wheels.

just read the both ur post..
ha ha.
so ur pissed that they didn't give you a free wheel... so you're going to bad mouth them?
isn't that kinda ****ed up?
if ROTAs are ****ty rims... then thousands of people would be emailing us vendors wanting their money back.
yes there have been incidents where ROTAs have had issues.
can u name ONE wheel manufacturer that hasn't had any issues w/ wheel crack, paint peeling... etc.
I think you had a good intention... but bad mouthing a company like that --- i just wouldn't have gone that route.
