Mag Wheels

[BINKZ]

Hi guys.

Looking at buying a new set of mags for my V7 STi.

Can you please provide some constructive criticism about the following mags i.e. weight, manufacturer reliability etc...

Rota Grid

Wolf S36

Work XD9 (unlikely as bloody expensive)

[DacerX]

I would go works, love mine wouldn\'t ever swap them or sell them and worth every cent

[BLAZD]

Rota Grid - Gayest

Wolf S36 - Gay

Work XD9 - Excellent

Lol you wheel snob

[BINKZ]

not really constructive criticism is it lads

Out of those three, I like the Wolf\'s the most. I can\'t comment on the reliability on any of them and I have no knowledge on wheels other than size.

As nice as Rota Grid\'s are, they\'re just too common now. Go for a unique look that stands out from the crowd. If you can afford/want to.

actually looking at the Rota RT5\'s.

they were only released 2 months ago.

sure the only difference is 1 less spoke than rota grids, buts its still a difference haha.

and they are reasonably priced

i like the mxr\'s but being a rota slightly puts me off

[BLAZD]

with the upmost respect, with the above list your comparing shit with shit and works

xd9 can be had for only $2500 now days, Rota and wolf are the biggest rip offs I have ever seen, 2 years ago the same wheels were 599 and people were all ew wide wheels ew

Get what ever YOU want, but its what sets you from the others. id rather save for 2 years then roll crap

yeah ill be buying another car in 2 years. lol.

and as i must repeat, im not looking for what people think looks best etc. im after some actual factual basis for picking one over the other if any exist.

i.e. around quality, weight, experience with said mags etc.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

have heard a LOT of horror stories with rota wheels... all good for daily driving, 5 minutes on track, or hard cornering and they fall apart (or so it seems)

i\'d go for genuine work wheels.... BIG name brands, enkei, etc they have a massive reputation for a reason

not saying work / enkei etc dont make brilliant quality rims, but i dont think they can claim original inspiration for a lot of their styles either.

there are only so many variants of mesh / spokes etc after all

if the cost is not a factor then you cant go wrong with the works. IMHO tho rota make good wheels for the dollar. apparently they make alot of OE rims too.

[johnny5]

maybe think to brands no one has like AME or SSR or Advan those rpfo1s on trademe are a good deal quality wheels at a good price
