I've always stuck with OZ wheels in the past as they have proven to be really good quality.

What do ppl think of Rota wheels? Someone has offered me a set that look good. I'm just wondering if they will look good for long....


I take it that a MY99 Impreza can accept wheels from the new style without issues?

I like em....

They do like nice. How are they lasting, is the laquer peeling off or starting to discolour? And how old are they?

I'm only asking this as friends have bought wheels in the past that have started to look pretty poor in a year or two.

They've lasted fine so far... been on the car for about 7 months, but not done a huge mileage, and cleaned regularly!
So not a fair case really, the finish seems to be very thick, so if they start to 'go' they'll look crap! i won't let it happen to mine though!

All sounds good RON, my mates wheels started to go within 6 months, not a lot, but you could see that they were degrading.

I've got the Rota Redlines in dark grey gunmetal, still look as good as the day I put them on about 8 months ago.

No stone chips at all where as a set of OEM alloys off of a 2003 WRX that I had on the car before seemed to pick up new chips between every wash !

You do need to use a smaller drive than the standard wheel brace though as it takes the paint off if your not careful, eh Ron

Excellent news, maybe I shall take up this offer

indeed, i find a deep socket wrapped with insulation tape works for me!
