Everyone hates on the Rotas, but truth be told, it was only a few lines of wheels early on that really had problems, and those have been discontinued with no major issues since. (Subzeros were notorious for cracking, along with the smaller multispoke wheels)
I ran the Rota Prodrive knocks for almost 4 years with not a single complaint.
Wheels look great Jack
Work Lugs?

lol nah it looks cold but the snow is melting fast cause its been REALLY nice past couple of days.
Like 60 degrees. And i dont know about you but 60 is PERFECT weather for anything. Cars, sports, hanging out outside etc.
I dont like too too cold and i hate hot weather. Im content with 45-60, maybe 70 MAX.

I'm for that... Why pay $500 a wheel when you can buy one that is VERY similar in design for 1/3 the cost?
As for them breaking???
I had a pair of Rota N1R wheels on my 1st gen that stood the test of time for over 8 years and they never once gave me an issue... How easily do those "Expensive" wheels bend when you hit a pot hole??
YEP... just as easily
Now don't think I am cheap... I spent over $3500 on name brand Billet Wheels back in '98 when I had a Chevy truck and those wheels dulled out just as quickly as the cheap Eagles my buddy had on his....Just cause you spend a small fortune doesn't mean they are better.... they all have to meet standards to be sold...
O.K.. I'll get off my soap box now

Everyone gives Rotas **** but they are a decent rim now. Sure, they cop designs but they look good, last, and are inexpensive. Not all of us have a limitless fund for modding our cars and also have families to support, etc.
I had a pair of RAYS wheels on my last car and I destroyed one hitting a pot hole...luckily they weren't really expensive or I would have been even more mad. But I learned my lesson and decided to stick with less expensive wheels in the future, like Rotas, TSW, 5Zigen, Enkei, etc. For a car thats gets driven and isn't some show car, IMO those wheels are perfect and you won't feel like Falcon punching a baby in the face if you curb rash one.

Rota Grid's are TE37 knockoffs, but the Rota Grids can be way more concave than the TE37's. I think thats why people like Rota Grids. (plus they are cheaper)

Oh dear lord that is unfortunate looking...
I do hope you have invested as much money into the suspension and drivetrain as you wasted on that hideous bodykit and paint job
