I'm going to buy some Rota's just to make an unique set of rims y0


Seriously, it's not about quality control or copying design anymore...

Hmm,

Firstly; 500hp + rota = fail (all that boost, no money for FOOSE) lol

Second; ppl on this board that run rota's don't have 500hp... just potholes! lol

keep 'em coming Gordan... awaiting pt.3

shit!! they actually do look much nicer you should send that pic to ROTA

i loved my wheels, nicest lightest set of 16" I ever had (13 lbs) and they endured A LOT of potholes without ever bending nor cracking!

They will start running their wheels hard to come up with new designs.

Easy fix: Put them on and launch in reverse. lol

It's too bad because they make nice wheels, but that's just plain dangerous.

wow, assez impressionant!

on pouvait un peu s'y attendre:
plus la roue va être légère, plus est est ''faible''; et comme la tendance est d'avoir la roue la plus légère possible.....

est ce que c'est des rota ou des Konig Minuz??

mes volk ce28n pesent la moitié du rim qui a été montré en haut...et ils sont encore parfaitement droit!

les konig Minuz sont a 11.8 lbs dans le 15po

tes roues pèsent 8.49-10.14lbs avec les mêmes specs!!!! (wow je suis vraiment impressioné!!!)
je serait curieux de les voirs avec 500HP....

mais la grosse différence:
un set de konig minuz sa vaut 84/roue, et les tiennes vallent 530$/roue :S

je sais! je voullais juste sous entendre que le poids n'est pas le SEUL facteur pour ce qui est la faiblesse d'une roues

mais.. ces roues la sont le genre de roues qu'on voit sur TOUS les chars SÉRIEUX de drag, de drift,time attack etc..alors jsuis certain qu'avec 500whp ca tient le coup facilement!

edit: 450WHP evo X sur des volk ce28 (sont pas 15" par exemple )

You guys are funny thinking the car's power did this to the wheels. There is way more torque being applied while the car is braking down to enter a corner, and on the ring entry speeds are very high.
