new wheels

[k-jones-087]

looking to get a new set of wheels for my bug would like a set that are wider looking than the norm, was thinking of the rota gtr's. they give most cars a wider looking stance. any ideas or pics of your wheels would be great

rota are nice looking wheels but if you sneeze, they shatter into thousands of pieces killing numerous kittens!
stay away from any reps, the bbs reps are expensive for what they are and EVERYONE can tell the difference and laugh.

what colour is your bug? lowered?

I had rota boost on my old evo and took serious abuse on the roads around here

 

[Mad Paddy RS]

had rota grids on my old car,toke plenty of abuse

rotas stand up to a crazy amount of abuse without breaking or cracking, had them for the past 5 years and not a thing wrong with them even with our sh*t roads

I have to say that is absolute bull. I have had a about 3 or 4 sets over the years , using on track and survived numerous pot holes, yes I do like the real deal but nothing wrong with rotas

Thanks Tommy. The tyres were faultless on track unless you really bullied them. Toyo 888 235/40/18
One thing about the Rotas is they are a heavier rim over the BBS, but they are much cheaper also.

Did you buy the Rotas local or from uk ? have been toying with the idea of a concave style rota but dont know anywhere that would be capable of ordering the correct off set , either that or just buy a set of turini's ,

888's have great rep for track driving all right ,

 

[gonzogicker]

Pm'd If you buy the same offset rims as your own they should work.
