ROTA Wheels Are They Okay?

**CamaroZ28** · December 18th, 2006 04:10 AM

Gentlemen,

Have anyone here used ROTA wheels? Is it good and reliable? No "bengkong"?

I am planning to purchase this ROTA Wheel's Motorsports Series BATTLE 18 x 7.5 +45 4h/5h x 100/114.3 for my old ride but still reliable black Honda Accord EXI 1994.

Where can I buy reasonably priced tires too. Yung hindi "taga" ang price.

I am in Makati area.

can we move this to the More Than Looks section? i think it is more appropriate topic for aesthetics.

anyways, Rota's have a pretty good quality. it is a popular choice in US.

I'm currently on Rota Battle's but on 15's only. Very good quality for it's price, can't complain. I got my Battle's 4 years ago at DKC tires at P. Tuazon near Ali Mall.

One of our aritst here in my workplace has a mid-90's Accord that are on Rota Battle's too, I don't know the size but it's definitely bigger than 15's, ganda ang malaking Battle's sa old Accords.

Very good. Very reliable. Gotten expensive over the years, but is still cheaper than other non-local brands. in my experience, mas prone to bengkong ang mga imported brands kesa sa Rota.

In my opinion, any wheel, whatever brand, with that little rubber (you'll need 30 or 35 series tires to make it fit) is in danger on Philippine roads... unless you drive like my Aunt, who deserves the "Most Defensive Driver" Award. (one time, she dropped us off at an intersection... we wait five minutes for a jeep, got on, and we passed her just two minutes later...

)

But ROTA's are fairly strong and dependable. The only time I managed to "bengkong" one was over a six-inch deep sharp-edged pothole at 120 km/h while carrying a 200 kg cargo in the trunk.

IMO if you can find a center cap that has your car's logo on it, much better.

Me, I'm looking for one with the Mitsu 3-diamond logo in silver color.

Last time I was at DKC tires (that a couple of years back) there was one who bought a center cap for his wheels, dunno if DKC still sells them though.
