Well i sold my 18" Exel RH-5's to another member on here and have been searching for new rims ever since.....
Since 4x108 is a bitch to get wheels for and nobody has 18's in stock i stumbled on these.....

Maybe I am think about a US site. Someone had snapped the center out of their Rota's during a hard launch. All that was left was the outer rim and 5 twisted spokes.

I love those Rotas.....i seriosly don't believe all that crap prapaganda on the internet about Rotas.....I know quite a bunch of people who dayly drive/track them......Sure they are cheaper thats why there are soooo many people run them on their cars.
I was talking to one vendor who sells different models of Rotas and for all the years here in canada he said none of his customers came back with broken Rota rims.
Trust me Volk, Works rims brake down as well its just they are much expensive and not as many people have them as Rota rims.
Its almost like a proportion: 1 set of great rims (Works,Volk,BBS) to 8 sets of Rota

Are Rotas still made in the Philippines or are they now being made in China like so many others?
