    Gentlemen,

    Have anyone here used ROTA wheels? Is it good and reliable? No "bengkong"?

    I am planning to purchase this ROTA Wheel's Motorsports Series BATTLE 18 x 7.5 +45 4h/5h x 100/114.3 for my old ride but still reliable black Honda Accord EXI 1994.

    Where can I buy reasonably priced tires too. Yung hindi "taga" ang price.

    I am in Makati area.

    can we move this to the More Than Looks section? i think it is more appropriate topic for aesthetics.

    anyways, Rota's have a pretty good quality. it is a popular choice in US.

    I'm currently on Rota Battle's but on 15's only. Very good quality for it's price, can't complain. I got my Battle's 4 years ago at DKC tires at P. Tuazon near Ali Mall.

    One of our aritst here in my workplace has a mid-90's Accord that are on Rota Battle's too, I don't know the size but it's definitely bigger than 15's, ganda ang malaking Battle's sa old Accords.

    from what i've heard, ROTA mags can be repaired locally.

    Very good. Very reliable. Gotten expensive over the years, but is still cheaper than other non-local brands. in my experience, mas prone to bengkong ang mga imported brands kesa sa Rota.

    In my opinion, any wheel, whatever brand, with that little rubber (you'll need 30 or 35 series tires to make it fit) is in danger on Philippine roads... unless you drive like my Aunt, who deserves the "Most Defensive Driver" Award. (one time, she dropped us off at an intersection... we wait five minutes for a jeep, got on, and we passed her just two minutes later... )

    But ROTA's are fairly strong and dependable. The only time I managed to "bengkong" one was over a six-inch deep sharp-edged pothole at 120 km/h while carrying a 200 kg cargo in the trunk.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    IMO if you can find a center cap that has your car's logo on it, much better.

    Me, I'm looking for one with the Mitsu 3-diamond logo in silver color.

    Last time I was at DKC tires (that a couple of years back) there was one who bought a center cap for his wheels, dunno if DKC still sells them though.

    staggered means iba yung wheel width sa harap compared sa likod or vice versa.

    it's primarily for better traction depending on your car's drivetrain, whether FWD or RWD.

    OK naman ang Rota mags. In fact, most of the OEM mags are Rota. Tanong ko lang. I also drive a '94 Accord EXi pero 4h x 114.3 yung stock nun. Pinapalitan mo ba yung sa yo to 5h? Also, if you plan on getting 18's, mga 40-series na yung goma mo. Baba na nun. Used to have 205/40-17's on my previous car (a '92 Corolla GLi). Madaling magasgas. Ingat na ingat ka when parallel-parking.
    Yung sa Accord ko ngayon, pinalitan ko ng Rota Destiny 17's pero 215/50 yung goma. Medyo makapal pa rin yung sidewall so hindi madaling magasgas. OK pa yung ride. Di masyadong nabago from stock.

    I called Rota Bicutan a few hours ago and spoke with a certain Mr. Tony. The wheels I am looking for are available indeed. And they have models for 4h and 5h. I told him my car still have the 4h x 114.3.

    Medyo nag alangan na nga ako sa 18 kasi nga sa road condition dito sa Pinas. I might settle with the 17 version of Rota Battle wheels.

    mayroon ba kahit konti discount kung sa ROTA bicutan ka bibili compare sa mga authorized dealers nila sa Banaue at Evangelista?
