Broken Rota Subzeros *pics included*
I went to put my summer wheels on the other day and noticed that one of my Rota Subzeros was cracked. I have no clue when or how it happened, but there's no signs of curb rash, abuse, or mistreatment. At first glance you probably wouldn't even notice a crack, but up close it's nasty. If I had kept driving on the wheel it probably would have broken into pieces. Good thing I caught this before something bad happened.
As you can see in the pics below, two of the spokes are almost completely separated from the rest of the wheel. Is this something that happens regularly with Rota wheels? I was actually planning on switching to 17x7.5 Rota SDRs (silver color) within the next year or so, but now I'm forced to buy new wheels ASAP. I need a new set of wheels very soon, but don't want to make a poor choice. Will I be taking a chance buying another set of Rotas, or should I spend the extra $$ and buy something better quality (like Prodrive PFF-7s)? I want to restrict my budet to $1,500, and if possible, reuse the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires that I have right now. They only have about 10k miles on them and still have lots of tread left. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
