I've been running Rota's on the track for 3 years now and the only issue I've had is the paint chipping and bubbling easily compared to genuine wheels but I guess they'd all get pretty hammered on the track anyway.

Bro switch to genuine wheels and you'll get 2 seconds easy!

lol

When I was running a Thai kitchen I was constantly harangued in reviews because I wasn't Asian... by CHINESE bloggers.

Bitch plz... i'll take the pepsi challange vs your Chinese ass on that shit any day.

lol'd

Also apparently Asians have an innate culinary critic that white people try to use to feel more Asian themselves during meals

People try to justify this shit by saying they want an authentic food experience. But since when did authentic guarantee a good meal? Good food makes good food and I'll pick that over authenticity anyday. If you want authentic Vietnamese in Australia, see how you go finding a kitchen who gets away with cooking their meals squatting on the sidewalk lol

Also protip: the restaurant full of Asians doesn't necessary have authentically Asian food; they are probably there because it's cheap food or the demographics of the suburb are high in Asian proportion. By said idiot logic, every restaurant in Box Hill is a winner.

if you're gonna pay solid money for new wheels at least have one of these 2 reasons behind the decision:

1) the wheels are not very common and/or unique.

2) the wheel size is made to exactly what I want.

I always laugh when people try to charge ridiculous money for a set of wheels which are "Rare"... When it's an ugly as hell set of wheels in weird offsets, of course it's rare... No-one wanted to buy them when they were put on the market for 2 years in japan then pulled due to low sales, why does that make them worth more now?

This is what I think everytime Roman posts about his rare wheel collection...... No offense to his fetish though, whatever floats his boat

spent an hour typing something using a mozilla plug-in thing and the f**king thing crashes because Picexa (some malware thing) installed itself somehow, installed multiple extensions into mozilla (theres a security setting that is supposed to prompt and halt self installing extensions)... lost all my work and the stupid uninstall button is a fake so have to manually remove it and all the extensions its added to my browser shortcuts. f**king dream boats. probably use their supercars at family weddings and do static burnouts in front of their neighbours, paying for the wedding with all that dirty ad money. cock sucking The land of goat sphincter rings shit sticks

Fake uninstall buttons; tyranny of the world

I don't get with all the hate with fake wheels though

If people run the rip off 'original manufacturer' argument, how many of these guys have ever downloaded music/movies illegally?

If people run the argument of structural rigidity, i think it has also been proven that some manufacturers holds its own in track sport events

I don't have fake wheel but if someone i wouldnt care.

A majority of the hard parker crowd are P plater with $10k cars. Buying genuine rays for 30-40% of the value of the car should be frowned upon more than running fake wheels

Edit: Not directed at you Michael just the topic in general on FB

I'm not saying you have to spend big money to have nice things though. Quick look on YAJ recently for wheels for the subi and for around $500 So we'll call it ~$800 landed there's all kinds of quality rims available in reasonable sizes/offsets(As far as Subarus are concerned anyways) TE's & other Volks, Advans, BBS, often with meaty quality tyres too. The first argument thrown out by these people is often I can't afford X andit's simply not true they're just either too lazy or too stupid to put in even the most basic of legwork.

[Odium]

I (over)paid $1000 with tyres for my 18x9.5/8.5 BBS RG-R's which are nice and light (I'm able to carry two at a time if I wanted to) and look the goods... Then there's guys complaining they can't afford real rims and buying a set of fakes for $800-900 PLUS tyres...

Though... I must say, the fact there ARE fake copies, I think actually pushes up the price of the genuine ones so thats a plus.

Hang on if it's a fake copy does that not mean it real???

[Birds]

If the fake ones look and behave like the real, who gives a shit?

Attacking people for fake rims is as retarded as telling off every AC Cobra kit car you see on the road because it's not the genuine article

Some people don't want to spend half their car's value on rims, nor wait months trawling drift sales for the right set to come along or risk buying second hand off someone dicey when they can buy exactly what they want new from a reputable seller

Most likely. Rota's aren't the lightest wheels going round. I bought them when I was young and didn't know any better and I'm not gonna bother wasting more money until I break one as they still do the job.

In hindsight I would have bought Enkei RPF1's which is what I'll get eventually.

Do you get spat on and stoned at meets?

Haha nah no one gives a fark. I'll shit on their windscreen if they spit on me...

well he quicker than you...so maybe you should get some fakes.....

Ohhhh god damn it

Does rim weight really make that much difference? In our level of motorsport? Or is the difference of half a car length after a long straight, which would be overcame by 0.5psi of boost anyway

[Miguelone]

Moreso the improved cornering characteristics due to less unsprung weight.

[gtr jet]

My car corners like shit so it must be the wheels

I do recall looking into this

I doubt you'd see any difference at our level unless your running Bob Janes rims which weigh double.

In the elite end I spose they do everything they can for that extra tenth of a second

Didn't bother Richo running Rota's at the previous VIC time attack. Don't think he could tell the difference to the RPF1's either

Even Paul who might be one of the fastest SAU guys at Sandown who does 1:14's runs Rota's lol

agreed.

tho that also why nearly every-one at our level runs RFP1's cheap and light.

when I go to 18's will be on that band wagon.

that said I really love my Buddy club's still think the best looking wheel on a S chassis.

but they don;t make sizes I want
