randyjordan · 09-05-2005, 10:21 PM

wow...nismo knockoffs?

OMGWTFBBQ · 09-05-2005, 10:31 PM

yup, I think a lot of Nissan enthusiasts are gonna be pissed... but whatever
personally I couldn't justify spending 1500 + on a set of Authentic wheels when you can spend that money elsewhere.

whats everyone else think

ALTRNTV · 09-05-2005, 10:38 PM

They kind of look like Sport Max rims also..

Sport Max

Rota

I personally wouldn't get Rotas.

Jcb890 · 09-05-2005, 10:40 PM

those actually look pretty decent. we'll have to see about the pricing though and i'm sure people on here will bitch about offsets.

Kenrik · 09-05-2005, 10:40 PM

how much are they?

WILDACEX187 · 09-05-2005, 10:40 PM

why wouldnt u get rotas?

SimpleSexy180 · 09-05-2005, 10:41 PM

work meister > ALL

they look like they did a half ass job or something...

not my style...

ALTRNTV · 09-05-2005, 10:45 PM

Rota's are a Philippine brand. I remember my uncle used to work for them back there. He said the quality wasn't very good. Alot of their rims, they just melted down anything metal they can find, and they would make the wheels you see today. I wouldn't trust riding on Rotas.

SimpleSexy180 · 09-05-2005, 10:46 PM

WOW P.I. for TEH WIN?

infinitexsound · 09-06-2005, 12:31 AM

i wouldnt doubt it either... but rotas are eh..... if u wanna buy booty knock offs then go ahead ... but its just a better idea to support the real thing..

how long ago was this? i thought that over the years, rota's quality has been progressing at a pretty fast pace...thats just been my overall impression lately...

1000th post...SCORE! :ghey:

ALTRNTV · 09-06-2005, 02:24 AM

Actually, he told me like 2 weeks ago. Hahahaha

redsuns3838 · 09-06-2005, 02:24 AM

i have uras which are pretty much nismo LMGT4 knock offs.... 250 a pop atleast i know they are made in japan and of decent quality. not EVERYONE can get forged 3 piece rims so i think its not bad to buy a cheaper rim but i wouldnt want to sacrafice TOO much quality for looks. but uras makes good quality parts so im confident with my purchase. id probly just spend my $ on uras and stay away from something made in a 3rd world country. even if they are dirt cheap

little does he know that he prolly bought at least five things that where made in the (P.)R.O.C. today alone...

ALTRNTV · 09-06-2005, 02:31 AM

^

Word.

I'm serious though, he told me this around 2 weeks ago. VERY reasurring to know that the rims you are rolling on were made from a combination of spoons, forks, knives, cans, scrap metal, etc, etc, etc..

good thing i was only thinking about it until know...

i have to say that this prototype looks better than the prof sp1 replica...and at least theres no chance for a fake two piece lol...

speeddreamz · 09-06-2005, 02:57 AM

motegi also makes a wheel called the touge. its low offset...etc meant for 350z. Again dont' look half bad, but perform only half decent.

95zilvia · 09-06-2005, 05:30 AM

ima buy some.
enuff said

derux · 09-06-2005, 07:57 AM

I was at my friends shop. He is a rota dealer (www.wheeldude.com). He had one of these wheels there it was a proto sample and it was hot. If I was five lug I would get some.

Taiwan and China hardly qualify as 3rd world countries. Taiwan is on the same level as Japan and the USA and China is a developing country, soon to be up there with everyone else.

As for the Rotas, they'd look better if they actually had the concave spoke design.

TheSparo · 09-06-2005, 10:01 AM

they look like it's going to be just 5 lug too...

wootwoot · 09-06-2005, 11:03 AM

I just wish Rota would design their own wheels, people WOULD buy them. Frickin bastards always having to make something that is similar to someone elses

***FaLKoN240*** · 09-06-2005, 11:03 AM

Eh, iono, I'd STILL rather have FNO1R-Cs especially after reading about Fork spoke wheels.

**ThatGuy** · 09-06-2005, 11:05 AM

Originality is too tough, woot woot. It will never happen.

lucky7 · 09-06-2005, 01:52 PM

i dont own rota's. im guessing that my next set of wheels for my civic are the rota sprint hart knock offs. white with polished lip. only on the civic though. i dont think its worth spending alot of cash on wheels like people do on their civics. what i mean is, buying volks or some works in 15-16 inch for my damn honda. just seems stupid. generally all the wheels are relatively the same size. and the wheels are bought and sold through out a community. i have a gold/bronze set of wheels for my civic that have been through like 4 kids locally. im rolling on koseis that i got off some kid that totalled his civic. it just seems the only way to go when having a honda. the "look" gets old real quick. so you trade wheels with a buddy, whallah! you've got a new look for a couple months. then you trade wheels with another buddy to get a new look. its common. haha. funny though.

Apossiblehybrid · 09-07-2005, 12:59 AM

the black with red lining looks weird..

Krinkov · 11-26-2005, 02:58 AM

heres an old thread!

Heres a pic of the rear 18X9.5s on an S14, I should have a set of these on my car next month, I'll post some pics

*revat619* · 11-26-2005, 04:50 AM

geeez....

i swear everytime you think you've got something original, then some company turns around and knocks it off and then everybody and they're mom has it. I know you cant really do "original" stuff to our cars anymore, but C'MON. How many lmgt4 knock offs are they gonna come out with!?
