    Screw all y'all.

    I might sell my whip this summer.

    Just sayin'.

    I would now but it needs a rad and is sitting on blocks. I'll enjoy it for a few months and then change **** up. Maybe FD. Maybe GTR. Maybe WRX. Who knows, who cares. We'll see if I get into what I want to do after school...

    Sorry, I'm completely taking away from what this thread's all about;

    Screw fail fitment, screw elitist Skyline owners and screw everyone who isn't me.

    Come at me GTRC.

    I'd say you're taking that chance with any wheels you toss on, but as you say personal preference. I think alot of the pictures etc. have been taken out of context. My buddy Gavin smoked a curb while drifting, and his Rotas looked just like any other pictures I've seen of Rotas that have "exploded." Any wheel would have looked like that after hitting a curb w/ a force like he did. If we would have taken a picture, not explained it, and said; "Awhh Rotas explode" then you only get half the story.

There are no other wheels out there that have had as many failures as Rotas. I would only rock them as a winter wheel or something to throw snow tires on since they are cheap and look decent. I wouldn't do a track day on them. Not a chance.
    If they're good enough to get beat on in the BTCC or EDC, I can't see them being dangerous.

    The one thing I can't get over is how much he's spent on the car, yet chooses to roll on Rotas. That I just don't get. But other than that it's a wicked car.
    just slap some stickers on em , no one will know the difference.
