Why not get Rota center caps?

You do realize the caps cost as much, if not more than ONE (1, UNO) Rota... right?

If your doing this just for the rim to look like a Volk... shoot yourself.

This is true. Anyone who cares if they're rotas or volks would be able to spot a fake immediately either by the subtle differences, the paint, or the stamping. If you get caught doing this it is you get no respect. Save some face and rock the rotas with the rota cap or no cap or save and buy the real thing. Please.

ps...to answer your question the volk caps don't fit and neither do bbs or prodrive caps.

lol,

Of course Volk, 5zigen et al. make their centercaps slightly odd, to prevent people from doing something like putting FNO1R-C caps on rotas.

Not that any enthusiast would be fooled for more than a second, tops.

This is classic. He wants the look and the street credit of Volk rims but not willing to pay the price.

IMO Rotas are a joke. All they do is copy what someone else has spent time and money creating.

If you cannot afford Volks there is nothing wrong with that, just don’t go get a rim that is a direct copy of a Volk rim. Get something else.

We have nice cars and I just do not understand why so many people on here have Rota rims.
