I was surprised that Team Dynamics wheels are really affordable

I think there are a couple of race teams in Thailand or the Phillipines that run rotas.
Team Dynamics + BTCC = Awesome wheels If they can take the punishment of the BTCC....They can take anything. Plus they're cheap. |

Not all of the TRDynamics wheels are cast. They have forging and anodizing technology under their belt, and can make forged and cast wheels just like Enkei. It speaks volumes about the company that stands behind the products they sell.

(1970'S)Chrysler-Mitsubishi, Ford, Daihatsu, Toyota, Datsun, Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz, Opel and Volkswagen would not use ROTA for their oem wheels if they're not of quality wheels.

That's not true. There were plenty of decent vehicles in the 1970s. And so what? Rota was an OEM supplier.
Then again, this is just another thread bashing Rotas ... why do these threads keep popping up all the time?

Some might say any high-end wheel on a Yaris is the same thing.

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. |
