Take the car and the wheels to Revo and get them to set it up for you.

Obviously if yours aren't as wide ya want tyres to suit , ya need a bit stretch on the standard inner arches for them to clear ;-)

Have you ever googled Rota Wheels? They seem very lightweight but not particularly strong by the looks of it !

Saw a few threads like this, could also be due to the way they have been powder coated!!

I think it's because they make them so lightweight that they don't have a great deal of strength, a bit like those aluminium wheel nuts you can get. When they get a shock or a knock they can crack or even shear off completely! I don't even know what wheels mine are tbh, they could be Inovit Redline or they could be Rota SDR's because they're not stamped or anything

Mine haven't got writing on, If you haven't seen me for a while then you'll know what's happened lol Or if I write one of those 'I'm absolutely gutted' threads, It will be because I own some dodgy Rotas lol

Surely and hopefully they must be accident damaged wheels, remember seeing something like this about xxr wheels a while back with comments saying should have bought rota instead lol! Don't japspeed use rota for their drift cars? They take a proper hammering with no problems....either way hope this doesn't happen to anyone.
Copied this from a forum about the gold drift wheel
There are alot of purists out there who really hate replica parts and do there damnedest to discredit them. And it's understandable as to why. But if you've ever read threads on the Subaru forums from Subydude, you'd know that there is absolutely no significant problem with Rotas. They actually produce OEM wheels for major car manufacturers like Toyota. And their quality certifications are all top notch.
