    i rock rotas cause i cant seem to get myself to buy expensive wheels for street abuse/use. i was going to get some works wheels but why when they are going to get trashed and rock chips and such.... i think they are sexy awsome made wheels but i am not going to buy wheels just to throw on for a show or event. i drive my **** every day and rotas are ok for me. but i give props to those who buy expensive wheels and rock them everyday. you have big balls my friends if i had a track car or was building a show car of course i would go with the expensive real deal ****........

    That's the point some of us have been trying to make, the high quality wheels are made for the track because of their differences from the re-pro's. I'd hope that if you spent an azz ton of money on motor work, suspension, etc., you'd do the same in the wheel dept so there's a slimmer chance of your car being sent for a roller coaster ride. The lighter wheels may just even make your lap times (or 1/4mi times for you draggers) quicker. But to me it's not worth it rolling around on authentics...I'd use stockies off the track before I'd use re-pro's though.

    I'm into the more suttle look. I'd rather spend the $800 that the rotas with tires cost somewhere else on the car and keep my meshes. As long as I have grippy tires for cruising/driving, the wheels don't matter on street. Just difference in train of thought and opinion/preference. I'm not knockin you though dude, at all.

Im not being an d!ck, i just think this thread is funny as hell and I would much rather you talk **** about my wheels in here than in my FS thread...
    Yeah true about that last part. But this isn't really sh*t-talking, just conversing about what we think...more or less...

    So you agree that Rotas are high quality, since a ton of people rock them for track.

    Like I said before, no matter what wheels you're using on track, dilligent use is the most important factor.

    This thread is getting pointless. You'll always think Rotas suck and will break on track. I'll keep using Rotas and be happy, we're not going to change each other's minds.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    No, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Rotas are NOT high quality. That's why I PERSONALLY wouldn't use them on the track, and if you're smart, you wouldn't either. And your dilligent use of your rotas will probably result in a broken wheel.

    Someone lock this thread for real.

    Relax, the first part was a joke. This thread is done. There will always be people (like you) who think Rotas are imminently close to failing and there will always be people (like me) who will continue to use them without problems. It's funny that there's an old thread somewhere in this exact subforum where someone (like you) was convinced that Rotas are crap and mine will break - still waiting for that to happen.
