- Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:55 pm #89347 I'd like to add that those were on a 500hp EK and he broke them at the nurburgring.

Why in the name of all that's holy would you put enough money into a car to get it to 500hp and then buy ROTAS. I think you might actually have to be retarded.

Or he sent the car off with a silly amount of money and thought 'OOO they're pretty'.

Fail.

- Fri Jan 16, 2009 4:20 am #89385 Why was such a convenient "before" picture taken? It's almost as if the owner wanted to compare what a 500hp EK at the track would do to such a wheel.

Why else do you take a heads up picture of a rota on a deck?

- Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:19 am #89403 There is more to it. The whole story was on some site a while back.

- Fri Jan 16, 2009 2:56 pm #89457 jesus christ, sooo glad i didn't get Rotas. I'd be interested to see the whole story as well

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Fri Jan 16, 2009 2:59 pm #89459 In all fairness to rota (I hate the damn things btw) the guy should've bought some proper wheels, why would you use average money copies on a 500hp weaponised civic?

I'm still flummoxed as to how he managed to transfer enough heat into the wheel to cause it to deform, sink and contact the caliper.

I quite like the value for money that Rota deliver, but I would completely agree Rota's are in no way fit for a 500BHP EK, and the results show by those pictures.
