Your stock wheels are better quality then rota, just save your $$$ a bit longer and buy a set more on par with the S...you will be happier in the long run.

this is sage advice. Your stock wheels are pretty BA, excuse the harsh letters. They are strong and light weight. Rota are gerenally cheap and not well made. I would not trust my car doing half of what I do with it if I had rotas. until you can shell out for some good quality wheels I would most definitely save your money, your S deserves better.....

i have to say i dont agree i have had 4 sets of rotas on other cars and even a turbo car. a set of volk's and some racing hart;s at the end of the day unless they are 3 piece they all seem to hold up the same as the factory wheels. even with street driving and taking off to the mountains.. i plan to get track tires for factory wheels.. i like the rota wheels.. lol once u hit a pot hole in good old south carolina dose not matter if they are rota;s or volks they all bend the same.

Yeah, plus everyone above that mention Rotas suck, have never had Rotas on their car. I knew someone with Rota Slipstreams and they loved em. From what i have heard in the past, for a inexpensive wheel, they are not that bad.

However, I do agree that the stock wheels are better.

true but every wheel has to be 9oo2 certified to be sold and they are all forged.. i would rather run a good wheels and tire than 3,000 bling bling wheels and by a charger or turbo.. but to each there on.. i had slip streams i loved them and the mugen rnr with red lip they all looked phat..
