I tried dealing with modacar.com like four times they sucked and only actually shipped one order. It was for hubcentric rings for my Rota's and they weren't right. They wanted a $12 restocking fee to take them back, they were only $20 shipped for the set. I'd never use them.

I think rota wheels are garbage they are poorly made and have been known to give alot of problems. So becareful they tend to vibrate and are offside so they rotate wobbly beware.

What?

There's so many people on this board running Rota's if they were that bad we'd know about it. I've run mine with good wear for a good two years now. For $500-600 you can't beat them.

Lucky you three of my friends were not so lucky. They bought those hub centric rings to fix them and they still get problems with their rear wheels especially.

Whay exactly is the point of the hub centric rings?

Hubcentric rings are made to "balance" the rim onto the rotor. A Hub centric ring goes on between the rotor and the rim to make the mounting surface more flush...thus... preventing vibrations.

I got my set from www.machiii.net SUPER fast shipping. 6 Days from Frisco to Missouri aint bad in my book.

BTW that is the EXACT set up I'm running.....Black Slips (16*7 +45 offset) with 215/45/16 Falken Azenis.

I'm on GC Coilovers/KYB AGX and I'm lowered 2.25 inches and NO Rubbing what so ever.

And I' have NO complaints about the Rota's........in fact I slammed a pretty deep pothole the other day and I thought for sure I bent the rim, but when I got home to check it was fine.
