But they're mint :tongue:
That thread is a fail. It doesn't list the sizes, offsets, etc. But who knows... maybe someone will pay 6.5k for them.

You don't want your NSX to be in these situations. Ive seen 2 set of "cracked" Rotas/Konigs and they were not even tracked cars.
Don't have to spend 6,500 on a set of wheels, but a nice set of strong forged (1,500 used-3K new) is a safer alternative..(or stick with OEMS) Same goes with tires.

^ LOL! I don't think this thread is about crappy wheels vs. Mugen M7's. Personally I think it's insane to pay that much for a set of wheels. But it's your choice. Some people value certain things more then others. If the market says he'll get 6.5k for those wheels, good for him!
please not another "Rotas suck" thread... that was so 2004...

Sorry I was of topic. I wouldn't pay 6.5K either :biggrin:
I have seen quite a few sets of HRE's... not sure how much those are.

(That article is written by an company that distribute Rota's, wheeldude.com)
Lets put it this way... I cracked a Jmag on a pothole in Arcadia, just a normal pot hole at 45 mph. (Thats how I know it weighs that much too) :biggrin:
Now I ran a bunch of curbs ie: like the chicane at SOW, bent a few, but never a crack on a forged.
However you may think, a forged wheel is always stronger than a cast wheel. The amount of pressure involves less porosity which prones to less cracks, and compacts the metal to make it stronger.
Casting is a solidification process, in which metal is poured into a mold. Leaves the metal less compacted, and prone to cracks and shrinkage.
Yes, a forged wheel is not bulletproof, but a forged wheel is a stronger wheel with less defects than a cast wheel, and a forged wheel does not req. the same amount of metal, making it lighter.
Lighter wheel, always feels better at the acceleration.
Now, lets get on topic of 6.5K :smile:
