Hey all, just wondering if there are vendors that offer a good price on Rota rims around the GTA? Thanks!

I know Innovating Tuning (just on the other side of Niagara Falls) supplies Rotas.
Google and call them. You want to talk to Mike.

I talked to Rota a couple weeks ago for my car and they aren't sending any 4x108 rims over to North America atm.

Your best bet is to try and find some shop that still has a set in stock.

Good luck!

Also, I hear they bend very easily.

There was a couple of infamous pics making the rounds a couple of years ago of bent Rota's and even one where the rim had twisted around the hub and bent all the spokes ... I also remember there being some suspicion about the authenticity of those pics ... in any event, they did apparently damage Rota's reputation as being light and strong.

If you're looking for light and strong and good looking (and selections in 4x108), you may want to consider Team Dynamics ... I'm sorry now that I sold my set (but of course that's when I had no Focus) ... there's a guy on Focaljet that has a perennial group buy on them, but TBH they are not cheap.

Here's the link: Team Dynamics Rims FJ group buy

I run Rotas....and I run them hard. No issues. Taking tough corners, higher speeds...you name it.

You're other option is this man right here (I read nothing but good reviews about him):

Just went on the site, and seems like they dont offer 4x108 bolt patter for any rotas except for slipstreams =\

Instead of paying $4k for real deal you can buy Rota knock offs for $1k.

My Rota DPT's are knocks off of some high end Volk rims IIRC. Either way I wouldn't take them to the track and they are just my street rims.
My tracks rims are real deal BBS's that dealer sells for $1500/rim


p.s. Putting rotas on Rally car is just retarded anyway.....How do we know they were Rotas anyway?

[ZX3_2NV]

Because all rims that break like that must be rota's lmao

yes rally cars with anything short of hardcore rally wheels cant really be called rally cars.

you cant blame a wheel for braking/bending if you are using them for more than what they were designed to do.

every thing is breakable if you try lol

I know quit a few people who run Rotas....no problem.....it's some kind of a myth or something....most people on here don't track their cars so they should be fine. Now a days Go Mods are more like Show Mods.
