"You're doing it wrong" Pt. 2 - Because turrible ideas never die

[Matej]

It would be quite upsetting if some dork was spraying their car on the street within close proximity of my residence or vehicle. If I found one droplet carried by the wind to have landed on my stuff, I would be calling the police.

I am just saying their wheels are not crap. Design wise, they are copies, but that's it. They know how to make wheels, unlike the other guys in the business that make DANGEROUS wheels. Have you tried japan racing wheels ? A friend tested them on his daily, a p10 gt. 300 miles laters, they are out of round. Like really square shaped. The rotas he's got on his 600hp s13 ? He has got them for years. Still straight, and he is used to cut corners on tracks.

As far as the price goes, it didn't go up; the US economy crunched and the dollar value plumetted.

I don't use them. Got second hand cheap enkeis rs3. I don't sell them either. Just saying you are wrong about rota, which might be the only aftermarket wheel maker with an actual wheel making history.

Second, what is the problem with "more than 30 years ago" and "started 40 years ago" ?
Third, were you lazy, or just being an ass ? You found the "about" button, and that is great. How about the "history" button ? Here you go ... http://www.rotawheels.com/hist.shtml


OT




These are NOT the result of an accident, not a work in progress. It has been done like that on purpose and is the finished product.

[mhubeny180sx]

lol thats a model car, calm down

why are u defending rotas so hard lol they straight up garbage. pumping out 50k wheels a month and increasing price doesn't make them any better lol. That's like being served kraft dinner for the main course at club 33.

[mhubeny180sx]

^ lol thats a model car.

why defend rotas so badly every 1 knows they are garbage. Pumping out 50k wheels a month and raising price isn't going to change that.

A guy here around is selling his second hand rota's for 2000 euro...

Also gotten this in the mailbox:

Brighten Up Your WORK Wheels with COLORISM
WORK Wheels have long been a brand that focuses on subtle and classy colours, with various bronze, silver, black, white and polished finishes usually being what comes to mind when you think of their wheel range. That's all set to change though, with the introduction of WORK COLORISM.

Hot off the press having been unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon just a few weeks ago, the new colours include Kiwi Power Green, Mandarin Alert Orange, Cherry Blossom Pink and Energy Mint Blue. Pictured above on WORK Emotion CR Ultimate Kiwamis, the new colours are also available for the rest of the Emotion range along with the Meister and Seeker ranges, plus many more.

COLORISM Clear also introduces Clear Red, Clear Blue, Translucent Grey and Imperial Gold (pictured below on a set of Zeast ST1s) to the Seeker, Zeast and XSA ranges, with certain colours only available on particular models.


So work wheels are aiming the hoonibro section now with those hideous colours?

What makes a wheel "garbage" ? They are not overweight, although they could be lighter. They don't break, except in situations where any wheel would break. They don't easily deform either (i think there was ONE model with problems, the torque). They usually got enough room for calipers. They exist in numerous sizes, offsets, colors. The design is copied, true, just like almost all wheels. Is that enough to make them garbage ?

XXR wheels are garbage. Very heavy, expensive for copies, no room for calipers. Japan racing wheels are garbage, they have counterfeit test stamps, deform just by driving on imperfect A-roads.

So, why would rota wheel be garbage ? Do you have a personal experience with them, or is that internet knowledge ? Like you saw that pic of a subaru with a destroyed wheel after he hit a curb hard sideways ? any wheel would crack when subjected to this ...

If they were garbage, they would not be in the business anymore. They made a name for themselves, if they were building crap they would lose their partners. Economics 101. See, price in the US go up because your country sucks so bad at economics that the value of your money dropped hard. Their price hasn't changed where I live, yet our economy sucks too. Just way less than yours.

Frankly, between brand new rota wheels and second hand WORK wheels that have been jumping kurbs on tracks their whole life, i'd go for the rotas without a second thought. And i am pretty sure any kind of testing would show the second hand work wheels are not suited for driving anymore ...

Found this recently. This guy is doing it wrong.

I'll just keep saying that the moderators' collective decision to allow mhubeny180sx to stay on this forum is DIW. Multiple accounts, being an insufferable cunt, and just generally douchebaggery should have him banned. While the latter two on that list are bound to happen on this forum I was under the impression that the multiple accounts thing was a surefire way to get banned. I even offered to refund his payment for Premium. We should start a fundraiser for Zilvia to ban this fucking prick.

OT

Only $7000 for this gem:

Not sure why it's on SD CL, it a "local" Colorado Springs kid. Him and his 'close friend' painted them to match.

Colorado Springs is the Florida of Colorado.

Actually they are you dumbfuck.

Sorry to be a raging asshole but these types of posts fucking piss me off.

What the fuck should it be? Fucking free?

Car looks clean with good paint. It has a Wiring Specialties Harness and S14 SR.

That's $2,500.

ISIS FMIC is $400, $200 radiator, $600 wheels, $400 tires, $800 coils etc.

You ever swap a car? (And get it running?) It's not fucking cheap as all the little bullshit adds up.

So what's the car worth genius? He does say OBO or Trade so it's not like he's acting like the car is a fucking blowjob giving gold mine.

Yeah Bro, I'm mad.

[Corbic]

Dumb fuck wants $300 for a stock intake manifold?! Lolwut, Must Be Florida.

You are a fucktard. Seriously, your rants are dumb as fuck. Go drink some tea and light some fucking candles.

$2500 swap
$2200 car

Thats what the price should be. You add shit to it that doesn't add the value of the parts. What the fuck.

Yes, I have done a swap (or 4) you NEVER GET YOUR MONEY BACK OUT OF IT. The parts I replace, with quality parts may add some value, but not $2000 for a quality harness and thats it.

This is a $5000 car, $5700 on a GREAT day.

Now, please go annoy your Mustang forums.
