90IntegraC1 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 if rims cost $200 for 4 rims they suck. if rims cost over $600 for 4 they are good. don't buy walmart rims, buy name brand. i.e.-bbs, enkie, work, volk, etc... mine were $650 for 4 plus $100 per tire, so about $1050 total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM_Hamster Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 But a few more good quality rims are Spoon, Racing Hart, Rota, Buddy Club, Mugen(yes SolLes i said Spoon and Mugen), that's all i can think of off the top of my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Rota's aren't knock off wheels, they are still a good brand. Ratboy - I knew of all wheels you'd like Volk, Work, Mugen, Spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volk, 5Zigen, Rays Engineering(Racing Hart), Enkei's and even Axis makes an ok wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Rota's are too knockoffs. They copy the styles of other brands......That makes them knockoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Ok, so do Mugen and Spoon in some cases. So do Volk, and so do other brands. Everyone copies, bottom line. Rota's are different, by a tiny bit. They are still a name brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 rotas are good. i like BBS, enkei, motegi, racing hart, lowenhart, ROTA, 5zigen, speedy(cheap but good looking), volk, buddy club, graham lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9524tee Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Doood, Rotas arent that bad, not great either, it's just fact... You know you fracked up when you buy a Rota knock off... Haha, and yes they make knock off Rotas... It's sad... Quality of wheel, basically, 99 percent of any forged wheels are awesome, period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If Rota makes a knockoff of Mugen, and someone else makes a replica of the rota. The second "knockoff" would be a knockoff of mugen too since they copied the design originally from mugen. I'm not saying that Rota is a bad brand, but you can't have a knockoff of a knockoff. The original designing company is always the one being "knockedoff" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Rota's are good. Cheap some are light. And its somewhat hard to crack them. Spoons I don't give a crap about. Rebadged like everything else Spoon has. Just buy Desmond Regamasters instead, you'll save money. Mugen, overpriced but good. Volk. Great wheels if you get a light one. Forged, light, strong, expensive. Mine only cost 1,411 for 15x7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does your boyfriend have to drive you around in that Type R since it's not an automatic? Shouldn't you be in the kitchen instead of on the computer bitch? If a tire doesn't grip well, it doesn't grip well. Doesn't matter who's driving, miss intelligent.

Nancy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 wow, you put me in my place, telling a girl to go into the kitchen. good job, hung like a flea. youre definately a f*g if you got a problem with a girl who knows her car. most guys appreciate it but i guess you wouldnt since youre ignorant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Inbred? That's twice now. Can't come up with new material? I can't believe you wanna do this dance all over a simple joke. That's a pms'ing chick for ya. Oh, and that's really nice making fun of people with down syndrome. That's a good joke that's going to offend a lot of member's on here. I have complete respect for chicks that know there car stuff, but you're being a c*nt for absolutely no reason so I'm goin' along with it. It's funny that you think all people that don't live in the city are in-bred's. That shows your ingorance right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
