ah yes, i think i'm gonna be getting a set of the rotas -

 

[MiataBernie]

The PF-01s look good on your MSP. I've got a set in 16" on my Black Mica MSM.

Had to put some 20mm spacers on them, but that was my own fault for not really thinking about the offset when I ordered them.

I have an opinion questions for you guys.

What is the best af/r for our cars to make higher power safely? I'm running 10psi, VTCS delete, turbolife ic, s14 gt2560r turbo, microtech lt10s, wrx440's.

I did some tuning on the way to work this morning and put it to about 11.3 from pig rich right at 10 and it feels like it pulls better.

I think that's a good safe afr.

They are genuine Enkei PF01 wheels.

Why would I claim Enkei if they were Rota's?

My tires cost more than Rota's..... Wth

nobody claimed they weren't Enkeis dude, relax. (hand)

i will be purchasing the rota torques myself, because why the **** would anyone pay 2x the amount for something that looks identical? (the works, as shown in the post above).

 

[SwirlFX]

Sorry for jumping the gun. I read that post wrong.

I'm with Cleverfrog here. It LOOKS identical. Build quality is another thing altogether.

I know we've all seen this one....

[Cleverfrog]

The expensive ones break and bend too though.

 

[protege3690]

theres always gonna be a debate between expensive and cheap wheels. forged vs cast. its a fight neither side will ever win lol

yep, Id rather bend a wheels though than crack one (detect)

 

[protege3690]

again there will always be someone to debate that and say that theyve cracked forged rims and cant believe they spent $1200+ for wheels lol. its just a topic i never like to get into with anybody. opinions and peoples' "rational" reasoning everywhere haha

 

[VIPMSP]

IMO, it's mostly an ego thing.

"yoo check out my new wheels, they aren't those dumb knock-off rotas, i dropped $2k on them", i would hear as "i have a small wiener and no self-confidence so i buy overpriced bulls*** to distract from that"... i suppose if you're legitimately rollin in cash/own real estate i could see an exception.

but $2k wheels on a car worth less than 5k? ehhhh.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

If you hit something hard enough, any wheel is going to break/bend...

 

[Preferio]

The MSP is together. Just waiting for my SSAFC V2 to get dropped off at the shop and she'll be up and running again. Going to clean it out completely, claybar it, and detail it.

 

[rally2003]

I've had these wheels since 2003. They are an off brand from Sears called Zracing. I think I paid $350 for them and have used them on the street for 4 years and autoX for 3 years and have had no problems with them (knock on wood).

Simply put, because you get what you pay for... Quality.
