    A lot of tuning shops in the US use Rota Wheels.

    I made a colection of sketchup 3D models of some of their products

    The Lynx RS mags are a special one-off by ROTA. No Ford or Mazda gets them outside of Southeast Asia.

    ROTA mags aren't as good as some of the more expensive Japanese mags... but the key word here is expensive. You can get a good set of ROTAs, run them on the racetrack, smash one up every year for four years, and still spend less overall than you would have spent on a set of original forged racing mags from Japan... which will eventually break or bend, anyway, if you're doing wheel-to-wheel racing or drifting.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I used to have a set of Rota wheels for my Lancer 96 Gli. They look great. They only cost around 12k then...I dont know how much they cost now.

    Anyway, they look great and very sturdy!
