Anyone heard of Rota rims, quality and such. They are offering rims pretty cheap so I'm having a little doubt.

 

I'm not sure that they have the correct fitment for our car. Don;t they make a CP035 knockoff? Considering the extremes that the S2000 can handle to, I'd hate to have the wheel fail due to poor manufacturing quality.

Personally, I'd spend a little bit more for better wheels. Your life is worth it.

 

I don't believe they make the right fitment for the S2000 but the wheels are not of poor quality. I have them on my CRX and they can take the pounding of NYC potholes with no problems.

 

Sorry Dan.......I wasn't sure about their quality. Usually though, quality comes at a price, so when the great deal was mentioned, I expected this to be true.

 

Sime, not a problem, I thought the same thing when I bought them to try them out. But here are some interesting facts about the company.

Unlike other Taiwan wheel companies Rota Wheels meets the highest international standards. Its manufacturer, Philippine Aluminum Wheels, Inc. (PAWI) holds the coveted ISO 9001 (manufacturing quality and design) certification and QS 9000 which upholds the quality standards of the Big 3 U.S. carmakers.

My 15" Spoon SW388 Knockoffs only cost me $400 shipped and have taken a seriously real pounding with no damage seen anywhere. Plus they only weigh 13lbs. If I remember right they are forged and not cast as well.

 

I just bought a set for my WRX. They are nice wheels manufactured by an OEM
supplier. At $125 per wheel for 17x7.5 they were a great deal. Also, @ 17.5 # each.

 

Rota has gained notoriety for making knockoffs and pretty goods ones at that. There are very cost effective and fairly light, especially for the price. They may turn out to be a major contender in the aftermarket wheel market. I know someone who got a set last year and loves 'em. I've got a set of Konig's on one of my cars and am considering replacing them with Rotas, just because the price/weight is so good. (I however, have no idea if they have fitment for the S2K.)
