Where do you guys get your Rota's from New - LotusTalk

A7594217 · 09-18-2009, 07:28 PM

Im thinking about switching to 15/16 soon. The size that fits are car in 15/16 does not seem to be an off the shelf size so where are you guys ordering them from. Also can they order any rota in those sizes? Would any of the other rotas fit?

Thanks

I wouldn't touch them.

The last one was a set of Kinesis wheels (that HRE was libel/slandered against) that broke on a track day.

If rota doesn't have the size listed on their site, then they can't make it. They aren't custom made to order 2 or 3 piece wheels.

Do you have a web link?

Wheel Catalog - ROTA Wheels

I think wheels are one of the most important aspects of the car. I think it's important to order the wheels, color, offsets you want right off the bat.

I've seen, in person, more base Lotus wheels in those same conditions than that.

who knows if those have hit something?

A7594217 · 09-19-2009, 06:30 PM

Thanks for the input. As for them being week, there are alot of track guys on this forum running rotas and i have not heard any problems. Our car most likely weighs less then most other cars too so that should put less stress on the wheels.

To each his own though.

there was one rota failure on a lotus owner..

If you want good light wheels... I suggest something better. You get what you pay for. Especially having a nice car I don't think you want to go cheap. These baby are going to be my next wheels. SSR Wheels - SSR Type-F Euro

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about that:

I don't care, even if you hit something, wheels should not break like that.
