all of you rota fans need to recognize the fact that the quality control and fit/ finish isn't there. so if it's for a bucket, i fully understand your reluctance to spend the loot on a volk/ spoon/ work, etc. yes they are better than steelies for a daily driver.

now i have had incidents where a rota would've caused me to flip the car vs just bending some volks and walking away from an accident.

I currently own racinghart and volk wheels as well as enkei and rota. I don't even particularly like the design of the 'spoom' wheels.

I have also balanced my own wheels and tires on many occasions - although I don't do it professionally anymore. Take one of your beloved rota's and put it on the balancer without any tires or wheelweights. Wow, they are out of balance and actually wobble straight from the factory! Now I have done this with my racingharts and volks as well and noticed none of those issues whatsoever.

So in conclusion, if you care about your ass on and off track make sure you choose carefully.

I only read of one other guy who actually seems to do lapping days or autox in this thread, and he has rota's. For autox, I'd be less concerned about deformation that I would be for lapping days. But as you know, wheels are a wear item when you are racing..... You have got to have that worry in the back of your mind - 'are my wheels going to fail me this event?'
