Don't get me wrong, I would prefer to have Work logos on my wheels. They would be much more respected. But I'm not going to spend a helluvalot more just for a "cooler" brand name when I like pretty much everything else about the Rotas more. The color, fitment and price is better.

I wouldnt get rims that are not strong enough to handle abuse or tested & approved.
Not saying Rota are not strong but obviously most after market rims out there cant handle much abuse They uses cheaper manufacturing route & not throughly tested & approved & driver errors etc....
That Work Meisters wheel doesnt look like it hit anything. Lips are fine..
Kinda weird I would hate to have that happen on the mountain...
These are the reason why I went with mfg spec EVO GSR Enkei wheels.

Seriously though, THATS funny.
I thought about buying the replica TE37's for a while...but then I found some Evo X Enkeis.
You can probably find some nice used CR-Kai in the FS section in the forums...
P.S. More pew pew less QQ

Like I said before... the only real reason I would want the Works would be because of the brand name. Call me what you want, but I'd rather go for what I like better over what would give me more street cred.

I've run Rotas for over 5 years now on my personal cars. Had about 4 sets, no issues at all. Been tracked, beat on even jumping over curbs in a snow covered lot. No problems.
The GST Unlimited Time Attack car runs rotas as well with no issues.
The internet is serious business....

Thank you!
From my research, I have found that anyone who complains about Rotas has never owned them and the people who have owned them have no complaints.
Now that thats out of the way... does anyone want to buy some Rota Torques? lol
I pmed WheelDude on what the exact pricing would be so I can give you guys a for sure price. I'm pretty sure it will be around $900. Just waiting on the reply.
Also, in case you guys are curious, these weigh about 20 lbs each which is pretty good form what I'm seeing.

Nope, thats just the wheels. This is actually a very good price for them. Look around and if you happen to find something cheaper, please let me know, but WheelDude is the cheapest that I know of.
