I'm looking for wheels for track use. I'm thinking of getting some rota torques as they look good and come in good fitment. I'd love some Enkei RPF1's but I'm struggling to justify the price when I also need to purchase £500-600 worth of tyres.
Doing some quick googling, there's some people mentioning of Rota's cracking. But the level of abuse they'd been through is a bit unknown (majority Americans. Probably spanked 20 kerbs and are now complaining)
Anyone on here using Rota's and abusing them on track? Are they still true and not buckled or cracked?
Inb4 Evo rims. Majority are over priced and no guarantee that they're not damaged.

I know a few of the civic cup cars run them. But not 100% whether they change them regularly or not. Team dynamics wheels are priced well too not sure what sort of size your thinking of but they come in a lot of widths and offsets. These are proven for track use

I've got team dynamics pro race 1.2 I think they look very nice :lol: each to there own though I suppose. What about Japan racing wheels? They do some nice designs not sure on the strength/quality on them though.

When I bought my set i had to contact rimstock direct to confirm what offsets they do in the width I wanted. They were very helpful. Seems a bit strange they only do certain sizes in certain colours as they powder coat them after they have been made according to what I was told on the phone. You could contact them direct and ask. On demon tweeks site for instance they don't list all the offsets available as I had to order over the phone to get the correct sizes and colour I wanted. I agree the bronze would look nice on a cosmic.
