I know there have been some old threads about people being interested in these wheels, so has anyone bought them? If so, can you post up some pics and give any comments about the wheels?

Thanks in advance.

What are some similar looking, light-weight wheels at around that price then?

come on.... friends dont let friends ride rotas

thats all i have to say

Bagging on someone for buying a cheaper, knock-off brand instead of the expensive, quality brand is the kind of shit that women pull all the time. If the person gets what they want and it works well for them there's no need to give them crap for buying a cheaper product.

TRUE, BUT, rotas have ben proven to crack or shatter.... making them unsafe.... there is a reason good wheels are expensive... its no different then a turbo, a stereo, or racing seats....


You Get What U Pay For!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not know Rota's had a history of cracking or I wouldn't have even bothered asking.

BBS, HRE, and Desmond wheels are not anywhere near the same price. And yes, I know you get what you pay for, but the price of these wheels are not anywhere near worth it, at least to me.

Are ASA wheels any good then since they're licensed by BBS? Paying 200 more for basically the same wheel just because it's a bigger name brand doesn't make sense to me unless they are vastly superior to the other.

They do come in 5x114.3 or I wouldn't have asked about them. Like I said, if the replica is a good quality product, why pay 200 more/wheel for the bigger name UNLESS the replicas are crap. So with that said, since ASA is licensed by BBS, can anyone tell me if they a good quality product or not?

Thanks for letting me know these are crap before I looked more into them. And as far as them being Honda wheels, they don't have a "H" on them so they aren't as far as I'm concerned. :icon_razz But it doesn't matter anyways since they're no good.

They do come in our lug pattern. I have seen them on a WRX before and it is pretty nice. It is true that a lot of hondas are running these but i think they look nice too.
