h22 bb6 · 12-02-2005, 09:11 PM

Rota's are cast, right? What size tires did you have on there? Thats freaking dangerous.

lilredlude · 12-02-2005, 09:23 PM

um, 215/45/17 i think

TimeRacer · 12-02-2005, 11:31 PM

Well wheels are something that needs to be inspected every so often especially when it's not OEM manufacturer. It's something that I'd check anytime I wash the car or before a long trip. Though Rota HAS taken care of their customers VERY well with any wheel failure. Call up Rota US and tell them about your situation and I'm pretty sure you'll be taken care of. Just be glad that you caught it before any damage occured.

Daemione · 12-03-2005, 07:52 AM

Damn, Michelle, that's crazy. Definitely give Rota a call . . . it's a pain, but from everything I've read, they should take care of it.

fwiw, my Slipstreams are still holding up great. :crossesfingers:

KB798 · 12-04-2005, 01:31 PM

Wow

...if I get Rotas I'll definitely be getting a model with thick spokes like the Slips.

blklude98 · 12-06-2005, 05:53 AM

you guys also have ot remember....this is the same wheel that had TWO DENTS in them...that DEFINATELY affects the integrity of the wheel.

this is true

Contact Rota. In the past they have been very receptive to failure compalints and will typically ship you a new wheel free of charge. They may even send you a check to cover tire mounting if you ask for it.

so my 4 new rims should be at my house friday, 3/3. it was a long process, but in the end, they replaced all 4 rims because they didn't have any of the one i broke in their warehouse.
