Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are bad....

Its his car, he can paint it 3 different shades of poo brown if he so chooses...just don't come in here asking for comments because we are going to tell you it looks like ****..

I'm not sure which wheel debate we're supposed to let die either....maybe there's some fervent world wheel debate I dont know about... I'm also not sure that Volks are track only wheels either.. some people like having high quality wheels on their cars

Yay for freedom of speech.

And I had rotas on my last car as winter wheels, 2 were bent by the end of the season. Believe it or not, they are worth a third of the price for a reason.

Somewhat off-topic, but that might be the greatest statement on this forum that I've seen in a loooooong time hahahaah

If you go on the old 350z forums, most know that this has been beaten to death with a large stick. Why did the wheels bend, what tire sizes were on the wheels, I can show you volks and hres that have been bent. Wheels bend thats reality, just have to be careful and mindful of the roads.

You can say any reason of how your wheels got bent, but we will never know the truth b/c we were never there and frankly it just wouldnt matter to most here anyways. For real though, the car looks good, I wish the wheels in the front though were a little more concave like the rear though.

Yeah, I've heard so many terrible things about the 350z boards. The wheels bent from rough roads due to ice patches, snow, frost heaves and just terrible Massachusetts roads. It was on Blizzak LM25 in 225 45 17. Interesting thing is though that I drove 3 other winters on stock STI BBS with the same tires and those were not bent, in fact they are on my ex's STI still going strong.

I know wheels bend, but some are stronger than others..

Regardless...they do look nice on the car I agree.

Spending $3K on wheels is quite ridiculous... unless your running in Le Mans. The rota's look good, especially on white. Looks wise I don't care for the nostrils, but again I dig the wheels. Im sure everyone before me who complained about them being lame for performance could not even get close to extracting and realizing any performance gains from a slightly heavier wheel.

Good looking car, hope your enjoying it.

should colour match those nostrils....LOL

for some pocket change.... spacers on stockers would have been better than those rotas...
