To be honest with you...
There isnt anything wrong with Rota wheels. They are affordable, strong, lightweight...ROUND just about everything you would want a wheel to be. I'm not really a name brand whore like some people, but I know quality when I see it. Not to say Rota wheels are the highest quality wheel, but come on.. You can buy a set of Rota's for less than ONE Work wheel.
I am trying to get another set of wheels, not because I want Works, or SSR's but because I want a different look. If Rota had that wheel, I would most likely be buying them. Dont spend every dollar you have on $2000 wheels when your car is still busted and slow. Save your money and spend it places that count(like into the suspension your car rides on)
The total of money spent so far would be.. I dont know I'll have to try and break it down..
Car $1800
Exterior(paint and panels ect) $4500
Suspension / Brakes $2000
Wheels/Tires $800
Engine and swap $10,000
Interior $2200
Total: $21,300
So thats really general estimates could be a little more, could be a little less... But holy s**t I've spent a lot of money; I dont know what to think of that. It's been a while since I've added it all up. Geeeeezzzzus
