Would use rotas for street and light trackwork (skidpans, autox, etc) only (if I didnt stumble upon ultrex wheels I may have gone for rotas on my car due to it being mainly street with a bit of light track work thrown in...and not wanting to spend $3k+ on wheels alone for a street car)

If you are going to be putting in some serious seat time though, forged wheel all day every day (just that little bit extra peace of mind imo).

Getting better. Still somewhat retarded.

I think the point is there is not many options available for 4x100 PCD.

Win..

I can get a set of Rotas in 18's for 999... Those Superlegs are like 700 each.

If its not a hardcore racer what difference is 20kg of weight across 4 corners going to do for me?

emailed tech 9 about those yesturday

feeling more inclined towards the ccw rims, they are reasonably priced for what they are.

would i risk my pride and joy to cheap out on rims, yeah nah probs not was a stupid thought. considering anticipated speeds, and money i have sunk into it so far, and plan to to finish the job sacraficing/risking XXk to save 2k really doesnt add up.

ill take a photo of the rims i put on it to check some measurement - 1 word HekTiC

I've seen Rota's out on Barbs & other stuff & they have been fine. Looking at getting some for street use as well & keeping my enkei's for serious track use.
Any rim should be fine if you are just street drving.
Track stuff is another matter. You go low budget for that & things start going wrong & cost you more.

some people tend to be of the other thought, in that track work is generally nice and smooth (apart from riding kerbs), whereas a faulty wheel is more likely to break from impacts like potholes.

I am trying to toss up whether to get some rotas for track work and continue using my Works XD9s for street use or doing the vice versa.

Only reason i want to keep using the XD9s on the street is they cost $2500 and would hate to see them just sitting around majority of the year.

rotas have up'ed their standards..im sure you can x-ray/do scan and test after a track day before and after if there were any effects on the rim
the yanks love rotas in the states most of their car push over 300hp, there's a thread dedicated to rota stance with over 50 pages
im thinking of purchasing some as well for the stance but none of teh vendors seem to have 17x9 width

EDIT: here is and interesting read
