I'd be scared to death to have this out on the streets (potholes:meek:) but they're ridiculously light. Helps that they look good too.

the forged surrounding looks ten times better than the all c/f one.

What a great idea... until it shatters when hitting a bump. They do look good though.

I question the strength of the wheel. For a track wheel on a nicely groomed track they would probably be ok. Street use... No thanks. Wonder how long till Rota makes a knock-off:tehehyper:

If I had the money I would get them, baller status fo sho! Isn't dry c/f stronger than wet c/f?

Yea, I can only see people buying these for show cars, or track cars. If you buy these and drive on an actual street, you are a true baller.

$10k-$12k...that's like two and a half of my entire cars, based on its current condition.

So, if anyone's plannin on pickin up a set of these, please forward me your address and intended date of purchase/install...I'll be paying you a little visit :mwink:
