You don't like it, you don't have to listen, neither does OP. Nothing compares.Ģ: OP asked for honest opinion. The Miata is now the standard for a street focused roadster. They took a classic formula that had wasted into obscurity through quality issues, and made an better version that took the world by storm, and dominated the market for decades to come. Do you honestly believe that? The Miata was a case of "Let's take this formula, and do it right." And they did. Rotas are also made in Taiwan, just like 949 Racing 6ULs.ġ: The Miata was NOT a "knock-off" of the Euro roadster. Yes, they are heavy and cast and when I needed wider wheels I went to RPF1’s but I had no issues with my Subzeros. I agree with you when it comes to fakes but Rotas have become a wheel company in their own right. Knock offs try to pass themselves off as Volks, Works, Advans, etc. They copy the design of certain JDM wheels but they don’t hide that fact. Well add me to the list of “don’t let the naysayers get you down” as I had a set of Rota Subzeros for a couple of years and had zero issues with them. Not everyone can afford to spend the kind of money they bought their Miata with on wheels alone. Yeah, there’s a lot of different trains of thought of wheel quality and now after seeing the price of the “real” rims now I know whey people go for the knockoffs. You don't like knockoff wheels-don't buy them!! You wanna put $2500.00, 4.7 lb, unobtanium wheels on your 150hp fire-breather? Knock yourself out. (Especially considering we're talking about a car whose most endearing features are winking headlights and the words "Zoom Zoom". It's morning and I haven't had my coffee, so I'll resist the temptation to describe your reply with words like 'pompus' and 'arrogant'. Especially considering we're talking about a car that was designed and built to be an affordable, Asian imitation, i.e. They just got big and famous because "broke high schooler wanting a cool car" is a huge market. (to use the terms from my father's generation, my generation, and the current generation, respectively). Simply put, they're Cheap Chinese Junk that was made to be sold to "Rinky Racers", "Ricers", and "Stance Bros". ![]() Soon, there are a ton of "resources" available online that say that Rota wheels or Raceland performance products are "just fine, don't let the naysayers get you down". So they do, and they have no idea how bad they are, so they write on their forum how "great" they are. Kids who work at McDonald's and live with their parents can afford to buy them and put them on the car mom and dad bought them. The reason they're popular and well known is the same reason Raceland products are: they're cheap. They copy good quality, expensive wheels, and make them heavy, weak, and cheap. Note: Because of the large size and the nature of the product, there are NO returns on wheel purchases.Simply put, Rota is the Chinese knock off brand of the wheel world.

In addition, there are flow-form-specific embossed decorations on the wheel lip, spelling out "Rota" and "360 FF". Just like the cast version, this 18x8.5" Rota Grid wheel has clean lines and broad, strong spokes. The flow formed construction means this wheel weighs only 19.0 pounds - three pounds lighter than the gravity cast version! Flow forming involves shaping the red-hot wheel into its final form using high pressure - this gives many of the strength and weight benefits of forging, but at lower cost. New! It's the same classic Rota Grid you know and love, but in a stronger and lighter FLOW FORMED edition.
