Haha, I love people hating on rotas.
Our 1140 ALL WHEEL HORSEPOWER, 8 second Drag EVO runs on 15" rota slips and they even have holes drilled in them to bolt the tires. The car has done numerous single digit passes and no problems at all. Thats not to take away from other brands, but I think Rotas are good wheel for the money.
Here are some pics and videos to prove it.

All the people that have never even touched a Rota rim let alone tracked one can stuff it. Once you track it and have experience then you feel free to shit talk. Ive seen more oem wheels get ****ed up at the track...so that may say something about the driver. Anyway all the people talking smack, ya cant buy skill. <3

what makes a bmw or benz any more worthy of quality wheels than an S?
the s2000 handles better and looks better than almost any mercedes you can name in it's class, BMW also included.
so, because you pay for a brand, means you should pay equally as much for a brand on your wheels?
gimme a break. the s2000 is one of the classiest, best engineered sports cars ever made. Just a testament that the name "honda" and it's racing heritage, and the fact that (if they want to) can compete and even beat cars like BMWs and Mercedes..... to name only a few.

just buy enkei's. cheap and RELIABLE
it could happen to any wheel; does this mean the Enkei RPF1's arent a reliable wheel?
