It used to but now I've rolled my arches it doesn't or is very very slight.
Is the picture you posted before or after the arch roll?

Chris.

After the roll. I know it may look like it rubs like crazy, but it doesnt. I've tested it by using marker on the arch/tyre to see if they mark each other and they dont. Only when I have a passenger in (Geo'd for no passenger) it may rub on the edge, but that is why I am going to put 225 or 215 on next.

Thought we'd done that one a while back. How many failures for owners over here?

Found this little linky about Rota wheels which is a handy guide to the design origins of their range.

Notice they've never ripped off any BBS wheels "Imitation is the Greatest Form of Flattery".

I met someone a few weeks ago who had a Rota failure (as pictured above) at the Ring.

They are unlikely to fail for road normal use or indeed occasional track use.

You pays your money and you takes your choice.

I'm actually glad that Rota did'nt produce a copy of the BBS LMs as there are loads of manufacturers copying them. They've been copied for years
