>>15421069
They are the ones being a cunt by driving on rotas.

What's wrong with rotas?
They are great wheels.

The quality of the wheels isn't whats wrong.

The fact is the companies morals, they don't give much to car modifyers, they don't understand things and they just want to make money.

They don't even make wheels smaller than 15" because they only go for the boy racer, p plater and hill billy market.

>>15421261
Rota only makes their wheels for suitable for street use, meeting most regulations but when you drive hard they can't withstand the amount of fatigue compared than most performance wheels can. Rotas are gravity casted and not low pressure casted like most manufacturers do, hence their low cost.
The only way Rota makes their wheels pass regulations is by heat treating their wheels but the inside structure is still not as strong.

>>15421282
They don't even come inn 14"s and the finish on them looks super cheap.

Why not just keep your hubcaps instead of doing that to your poor car.

>>15421282
>brand new
>not spending your time on yahoo japan finding bargains on vintage kyusha shoes for less than the price of a rep

A set of Longchamp XR-4s are pretty common and affordable out of all of them, most likely without the centercaps but still worth it. '

For the least a similar price than a rep but that's pretty rare

Sorry to break the bad news but no one makes the "sakura" center cap anymore and Rota doesn't make em wide af

oops, wrong wheel but no one makes rep centercaps.

>>15421303
Fuck that is a gorgeous wheel

>>15421290
Of course the finish looks cheap, (you get what you pay for) but if going for the look on a car that isn't going to be thrashed, I'd rather not spend $500+ per corner.

>>15421298
I just can't trust second-hand wheels, especially if you're buying them off of an auction site. The seller could "forget" to mention or show a nasty crack and you're stuck with fixing it.

>>15421300
Except in this case, the Timex would look identical to the rolex/omega/breitling/tissot and do the exact same thing.

Eh, but in Japan sellers like to list damages in good detail. Pretty common thing on most used goods sites. It's funny when they are selling the item in it's original box and list the boxes damage as well.

anyone know similar style wheels (80s jap wheels) that have the 5x120 pcd?

>>15421519
minilites look better, and have more of a classic look as well

>>15421519
this will help you

Enkei EK62 is one but there aren't many with that pattern, mostly 5x114~ pcd for 5 lug.
Good luck

>>15421548
i mentioned minilites because they are made to order, actually a lot of companies do that. less inventory to keep around.

but yes good luck

>>15421026
I'd become a rotafag myself if the girl came with them.

>>15421026

God she's cute. Looks a lot like my first girlfriend after she lost weight...after we broke up.

>>15421261
Only fuckboys have wheels smaller than 15" arguing they don't make anything under 15 is a dumb reason

>>15421537
They don't seem to make them in 5x120 but I do love this style of wheels.


>>15421548
holy shit all those wheels look mint!
I can't seem to find any in 5x120, they're all 5x114 :(

I guess it wasn't meant to be, they wouldn't suit my car anyway I don't think

>>15421594
they make them to order so they literally come in any pattern

There are some old JDM wheels on the market which were meant for older Camaros, Corvettes, and Pontiacs etc. and therefore are in 5x4.75" (5x120.65) bolt pattern. They are very rare though.

Where do you buy original J D M wheels?

Would love a set of Dunlop TE-3's but have no clue where to get them.

>>15423486
Japanese yahoo auctions and Jap eBay

>>15424022
Have to use a third party buyer as well

>>15421584
Are you serious???

14"s are the best size for old 80's cars.

Don't tell idiots where to buy rare parts.

Following up on your original post, how ass mad would you say you were when you viewed my photo?

>>15421026
I saw this exact car today

>>15425014
I honestly just try not to talk to people like you..

The same way I try to avoid drug addicts, hill billies, welfare scum and other shitty people.

>>15425014
They just look like wheels to me, m8.

>>15425077
that's exactly what they are. OP however, thinks otherwise

>>15425096

They represent so much more than wheels.

They represent being a poser... who would even support a company that makes a wheel called "shakotans" but don't come in sizes shakotan cars run...

Think about the retardedness of that for a second.

>>15425114
the thing is, I really don't give very many shits about the company itself. All I care about knowing is that rota is one of the more reputable replica companies. It was the certain style that I wanted for a price that was proportional to the car's value. I'm sure as hell not going to pay 2000 bucks for rims to put on a car that I paid 1600 for. especially if I don't consider the car a "race car"

>>15425177
You don't need to pay 2k for wheels that are not rotas.

I got some mesh style wheels for 150 dollars with good tyres.. They are el cheapo wheels but at least they are not rotas.

>>15424022
>>15424025
I feel a bit retarded.
