Default What u all think?

I have done some research. I think im gona go for some workmeister in white next time i change wheels. But due to some financial problems im thinking of going with the ROTA ones that looks the same. What u all think?

The thing is that the rota ones is just made in 18".. How u think that will look? I can go lower with the car but is 18" looking to small on this car?

I know that rotas are way worse in quality. But when money is an issue than rotas are more friendly with wallet.. 1000euro for a set of 4 19" rotas or 2500 for works.. And i need to import them so add almost 500euros more.. Thats why i wondering about these rotas.

i understand its your money but if it were me.. if money was an issue i just wouldnt do it.

why you may be asking?

the money you "save" on rims will be far less then the amount ull have to pay for repairs IF the rotas snap.

of course thats just my opinion. ide rather roll stock to be safe

If a driver is not aggressive in driving... Are Rotas really that bad? I would think that there is a legal standard that has to be met with rims... I've seen a lot of rims in pictures like above, and its because folx use a cheap rim to drift thats a big I would believe that for normal driving conditions they would be fine. Also still believe people are stil putting originality ahead of everything and using quality as an excuse... just my 2 cents.

yea for everyday driving rotas are fine.. unless your car is a track/drift machine then thats a big no no.. but rotas copy of the work meister are REALLY weak.. the offsets suck.. and 18 are going to look small unless your car is slammed even 19s sometimes look small...if you want something cheap and looks good at the same time get some lemans.. or just search the classifieds for some used wheels

No smaller than 19s. Please don't do white rims on a siver car--WTF? Rotas aren't Works, but they're not Amercian Racing, either.

Yea... I don't wanna diss your liking of rotas, but there are better looking rims out there. But if you like them... whatever you like is cool with me. But my opinion... they're really old looking.

Stock rims look cool too, much cheaper. gs350 rims? infiniti g35 or g37 sport? nissan 350z or 370z?

Just some ideas... if they're available where you are and they're great wheels, much cheaper also.

Good luck man.
