That grey Sera is my work mates, lol. He's just done it white, occasionally races it in Sprint's. Got a Datsun Cherry as a run around last year too.

I must admit I have had Rota's in the past. Yes only on a Yaris, so no they didn't go bang! lol However, even on a 1 litre Yaris , the heat from braking was enough to warp the centre caps, resulting in them popping off. This is a common thing and people lose them all the time.

I'd be interested to know WHEN the last failure was reported. As far as I was aware these failures happened a couple of years ago and ROTA addressed these issues. That may or may not be true, it's just what I heard.

that happened to both front wheels... do you think this is acceptable? do you think all the stories of people shattering them is acceptable? weather its through miss use or not they shouldnt shatter that badly...
Click to expand...

If the Civic owners story is right (which it seems to be) then no, that is clearly not acceptable. What steps did he take with/against ROTA? Or did he simply get rid and vow to never use them again?

If the rims are shattering randomly - then again, no that is definately not acceptable but I doubt the failures have been caused by anything so minor as is being made out.

You have to remember everything has a limit, beyond which it will fail. With the right speed and impact angle, any rim will fail catastrophically (You can see proof of this in RTCs, especially from impacts at higher speeds).

EDIT: Were Matchless Crowd Racing at TAS? Anyone find any pics?

Hai, can we please stop arguing about the integrity of rota rims in this here media thread, its been covered plenty of times and any-one who is actually concerned about buying a set after reading things on the internet can start a thread in the tech sections. Cheers guys.
