Pros and cons with Rota grid

Im interested in the te37 but price tag is high. Not looking to drag race or to road race but it's a daily driver and occasional racer street or strip and possibly track now and then. Just curious to hear what people think about the grids. Are they heavy or light or weak or strong or good for the price. Let me know what you guys think I'm trying to get some 16"s before the round two in thunderhill, thanks for your time ci members

They're knock offs... Basically sums it up. I've heard arguments both ways, that either they are very sturdy and capable of taking abuse or they are just cheap and break. Kinda of a crap shoot in my eyes, I personally wouldn't run them.

I would only run them cause it's something I could afford to buy with one paycheck and get my car on the road sooner

I have type c's. I'm almost certain they're lighter than te's. Like I can literally toss them up and down with tires without breaking a sweat

What u mean feel difference? Like the Rota is casted and the ssr is forged? I know with pistons forged are stronger but which are lighter? And I've heard of soo many ppl loving the slipstreams

Forged wheels are usually lighter, and I almost guarantee no rota comes close to weighing as little as type c's do. Forged is stronger. I personally haven't looked too in depth into what's available rota wise, better safe than sorry from the get go, ya know?

Theyre just wheels. If you want em get em. Obviously.... tons of people run rota wheels. Theres no issues with just driving on them as you would any other wheel.

PROS:
They're affordable, will last you if you are careful with them, they serve their purpose in keeping the car rolling.

CONS:
They're way heavier than SSR/Volk/Works, they can bend easily if you happen to hit a deep pothole, there is an anti-rota alliance on this site that will give you grief about buying them. lol
