Wow, lets all be cheap and buy Rota's like every single kid driving a honda does with the mugen knockoffs by rota. Rotas suck, and i only say this on the basis of, them putting like 5 mins of effort into their wheels, Nissan probably designed those wheels for a good amount of time, and spent tonz of money on R&D, just for Rota to jump onto the Drifting bandwagon and say hey, lets make a set of rims for kids, or adults, with 240's so they can stop bitching that we only make rims that are based off of ugly civic rims. Wheels should honostly be the last thing that is done to a car, IMO, you could do alot more with that money than make the car look good. But im not against it if you want to, just as long as u just save up and get the real thing, it's just the same as those new A'pexi counterfit TT, cept rota isn't claiming that they designed it. That's just my 2 cents.

I don't see how being cheap has anything to do with buying wheels. Rota's are simply an affordable option and they are nice wheels. How can one say there is only 5 minutes of effort put into a wheel when any company out there has to make a mold, produce the wheel, and then get it packaged up for delivery. For those who want an aggressive setup like the new P45F/R, it will serve great function. A 9.5 wide wheel is very functional if you ask me and there's a bonus, the P45R looks amazing. So you get both looks and function... and with your statement "you could do alot more with that money than make the car look good" so instead of spending a lot on wheels you can get a nice affordable option and have money left over for more mods.
Thats just my opinion on it all.... -Dan

Also, you should know that nissan spent less than 5 minutes R&Ding the LMGT4, because those wheels are built by Rays Engineering, using the same technique that was used to create all of their forged monoblock wheels. So Rota actually spent more time creating this wheel than nissan did with their Nismo counterparts. Dont be such a bandwagon jumper Punxva

why would wheels be the last thing you do to car. Would you drop a lot of cash building a motor then roll around on steelies? You forget ( or dont know ) that a well sized wheel isn't just made to look nice. On top of that, over time Rota has been making better quality of wheels, not only in sizes but also in terms of strength. They are a good option for those of us who dont shit money and cant afford a 2000 dollar set of wheels, you said it yourself, spend the money elsewhere

I was at a metal yard the other day to get some square tubing to make a welding table for my garage.. I looked inside a bin full of rims made from all type of materials. Will I happen to come across a complete set of Fin style wheel made by Rotas. All of the rims have multiple cracks in the inner lip. It looked as they tried to repair it multiple time and it would crack again. They don't look bad, but I wouldn't want to deal with rims cracking during a event or when your driving...

its always something with people. First you all wanted new low offset wheels. People make them and people bitch. Next up is a cheaper wheel because 1800-2000 is too much for a set of wheels. They come out and again people bitch.
I have autoXd on rotas, they held up fine. Yes I have seen some fall apart, but I have also seen a lamborghini diablo fall to pieces. Shit happens, and dont let one bad experience ruin it for you. You get what you pay for, end of story. They are nice looking wheels.

Here are some pictures that one of our 350z guys took for us. The wheels are super hot. This is the exact same staggered setup for you S14 guys. S13 just needs the wheel in a 4 lug or to do a 5 lug conversion. Super hot!!!
