Whats wrong with Rota's? - Toyota Yaris Forums

It's true, some OEM manufacturers IN THE PHILIPINES used Rota as oem wheels. Simple reason for this: OEM products are designed to cut costs to keep car costs low. They are not supposed to be nice and were never designed to be pushed (all the manufacturers who used rota as oem wheels used them on economy cars or commuters). These Rota wheels were never designed to be used on hard sports cars. Rota was a local company that was dirt cheap that would suffice for these OEM applications and maximize the profit for the big car manufacturers.

That is the main reason why most oem "alloy wheels" are gravity or low pressure cast.

Did Nissan ever use Rota for their OEM skyline GT-R wheels? No, they used BBS.

Does Mitsubishi use Rota for their OEM EVOLUTION wheels? No, They use BBS and Enkei.

Does Nissan use Rota for their Nismo 350Z, Nismo 370Z, 370Z, and R35 GT-R wheels? No, they use Rays engineering.
