My PW Z siting on Rota

Don't worry what others say - I feel no shame about you buying Rotas. It's your car and your money; buy what you want. I think it looks ok.

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.

Def know what your saying, stronger then others and i am for sure on your page. I see pics of you on the track, not to stray from the op's title, but have you ran different tires on the stock rays on the track?? I just want to know if the Z with other tires is pulling out some better numbers?

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.

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