ZED660 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Posted July 31, 2018 Bump I know I would probably get some interest if I advertised these for free, but that can't happen, so the next best thing I can do is a drop to $875! I will even throw in the boxes they came in:) Quote

If I was closer I would offer you 800 for them even though I dont need them but sadly with postage to Vic it ends up costing more than I am willing to spend. Quote

Plus the need for Tyres and your looking at over $2000 for knock offs with a somewhat questionable reputation Edited August 1, 2018 by dat240z Quote

I know they had a bad rep and a recall over a decade ago, but I haven't heard or seen of anything bad in recent years. Zedhead 1 Quote

I’m interested in a light weight wheel in a similar size. mick Quote

They just have a bad wrap - who knows how much is true though - urban legend vs actual events. I've heard stories of rotas literally exploding apart. Saying that I ran a set until I could justify some Wats and didn't have any issues! I think you'll have more luck if the rims were wrapped in some rubber as thats another significant expense the buyer would have to stump up. OdinZ 1 Quote

dat240z Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 It’s certainly a divisive debate! At the end of the day buy whatever best suits your needs, budget and value for money. Quote
JDM-TOY Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) I agree, I have been waiting on my order for Watanabe since March and still nothing. Three weeks ago I was advised that Watanabe had QA issues with the March batch so its going to be delayed even more. I was tempted to get the Rota RKRs and use/abuse them and put in another order for the Watanabe for a later time. Not that fussed ATM Edited August 27, 2018 by JDM-TOY Because I Had Too Quote
